Hey Hae reviews and discussion

I decided to try these because I love the durability of gel nail polish but hate what it does to my actual nails. I also liked the idea that these can "cure" in regular sunlight rather than having to use a UV light. Overall I liked these better than other gel stickers I've tried. The colorways and patterns are fun, although often not as bright in real life as they appear in the marketing photos. There is a bit of a learning curve as one puts them on, but after a few sessions I felt pretty good about the application process. I also have small nails so by planning well and trimming each sticker I could often get 4 wears out of a single package. The "cured in sunlight" claim was a bit overblown in my experience, but also I live in the Pacific Northwest and strong sunlight isn't a feature of this environment. Your mileage may vary depending on where you live and time of year. I did also find that I had to be extra careful to make sure the nail stickers were fully pressed against the nail bed near the cuticle, otherwise it would dry slightly tilted up and then that would catch on everything and after a few days the nail sticker would just pop off. This also means that the fancy oil they try to upsell you on, the one that is apparently necessary to take the nail stickers off, isn't necessary at all. You can use any cuticle oil at all, or you can just kind of wiggle the edges gentle and after a bit of manipulation it will pop right off. I also found the price point a bit high for my budget. I felt better about it when I could get 4 uses out of a package but if I was only getting 1 or 2 I would have a harder time purchasing these regularly.

Bought 4 of these to get as gifts— the designs look BEAUTIFUL and so far, have been very well received by the recipients. Ended up keeping one for myself, and so far, the nail strip was easy to put on and have lasted some serious typing sessions.

Impressed with these gel nail stickers. I've been using Glaize, which I also like, but Hey Hae have really cute designs and I like the shiny, harder gel finish. They seem pretty durable so far. Shipping to the UK was appreciated but quite expensive at $10. A bit like Glaize, this brand seems targeted at Gen Z but I know a lot of 35-55 women who are into the concept and could maybe feel more included.

I've released myself from the hellhole that is gel manicure and it's the best decision ever. Hey Hae is so easy to apply and the designs are v cute. I do have an UV lamp and I used it on each hand for about 5-10s but great for people who don't already have one / want to invest in one. Incredibly secure and durable and lux (and I've been rough on them and do pottery regularly!).

I really like these nails because they sit flush with the nailbed and they do not create a ridge between the gel top and the sticker bottom. They last maybe 2 weeks with proper application and come off easily with the remover. I used a UV lamp instead of curing it outside in the sun.

The designs are super cute and it was easier than expected to put on! You can get a couple applications out of each pack. Trimming each strip was a little tricky, but I used small scissors and that made it easier. Shipping was also super quick. Compared to going to the salon they're a great deal.

i struggle with applying liquid gel polish, so these nail strips have been a game changer! i love how i don't have to worry about the polish spilling onto my cuticles or spend hours on nail art. the cool thing about these specific nail strips is that i don't need to use a UV/LED lamp, which makes it very convenient if i don't want pull out my lamp. they're also pretty flexible since i was able to stretch the strips to cover the sides of my nail beds without it ripping. i've tried using cheaper alternatives, but they were just too flimsy imo it did take longer than i expected to apply on my first try since it's a new product to me, but there's not much of a learning curve after trying it once. definitely would recommend if you want an easy and affordable manicure!!
