I loved the rich chocolaty colour, I initially cured the full wrap and then cut them down but that led to an upward curve away from the end of the nail which I didn't like, and had to trim right down. Then I cut them shorter on the other hand, bent the surplus down over the end of the nail and they cured perfectly. I filed then down to just a few millimetres longer then my stubby nails. I then added one of my own acrylic gel top coats and cured for extra shine and strength. They lasted well.
