    Overly complicated design with awful adhesive and very hard to put all of them on yourself.
    1 reply from Onyx Professional Team team - 9 days ago
    Hi Mj, Thank you for reaching out to share your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that you found the application difficult. We have a couple of application tips that you may find helpful during your next use. If you're using patches on all 10 fingernails, we recommend applying to your dominant hand first, and then to your non-dominant hand. You can apply as many - or as few - patches as needed. We'd be happy to chat further over email - onyxbrands@onyxbrands.com.

    aolive - 11 days ago
    This is very much the worst designed product I have ever used. If you’re in healthcare, you’re familiar with a Tegaderm.. which is a very difficult to use adhesive. This was made overly complicated unnecessarily. It took me 20 minutes to put them on, and I needed help from my husband for the last. I don’t know how well they actually work. But i can think of numerous other ways to design this without being so cumbersome

    Thank you for taking a moment to leave your review. We understand that the application process can take a bit of practice, and you’re not alone—several users have shared similar feedback early on. One thing that may help: applying with clean, dry hands and starting with just a few nails at a time for better control. We’d be more than happy to walk you through a few personalized tips if you’d like to give it another go. Feel free to reach out anytime at onyxbrands@onyxbrands.com. We’re always glad to assist!

    We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. You’re not alone—some of our customers have mentioned the same challenge initially, and we’ve found that a few small tweaks can make a big difference. It may help to apply with dry hands in a well-lit space and focus on a few nails at a time. If you’re open to giving it another try, we’d love to support you with step-by-step tips. You can always reach us at onyxbrands@onyxbrands.com. We’re here to help!

    It’s a great product! I put them on every finger on a break between gel applications and it helped substantially. They are a bit challenging to put them on every finger though.

    Made my damaged nail worse

    sarcazm - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
    These patches could be really easy to put on - like a bandage - but instead there are too many steps and layers of packaging to apply, and the thin clear adhesive tears very easily. They also come in only 3 sizes which won't fit most nails properly. They could have just done a hydrocolloid style fingertip style X type bandage infused with the ingredients they needed, like various brands of pimple patches do. Also, I applied one to a nail I had broken and filed down that had deep vertical ridges and when I took it off the next morning the nail was thinner, many of the deeper ridges were gone, but the tip had a big chunk taken out of it; it softened my cuticle but made the nail overall more fragile and in worse condition than it was prior to application. When the nail grows back all the way it will likely remain thinner for a long time until the spot where the patch was used grows all the way out. These might work - despite being overpriced and overly complicated to apply - if you have very thick and strong (but short nails only in length and the largest size won't fit anything longer than 18mm) nails that need more flexibility and are brittle due to hyperkeratinization, but if you have thin, weak, fragile, peeling nails I definitely don't recommend them.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In summary, these Nail Patches offer a convenient, overnight treatment option for those looking to improve the appearance of fungus-damaged nails. consistent application is key to achieving the desired outcome. I applied them last night on my nails and after a one use you can see the shine on my nails. I highly recommend it to give it a try if you are a nail loving person.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great idea and I’ve never seen anything like it - so I’ll give it an extra star for innovation. As for effectiveness, I do have peeling cuticles at all times and it does moisturize the nail a bit but doesn’t really get rid of anything, but I assume it prevents it from happening in the future. However I feel like lotion would do the same job

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never heard of a nail mask before, but this concept is brilliant. I had pretty low expectations, especially since I had just removed my gel nails a little too aggressively (before picture included). I wasn't a fan of having the masks on my nails for so long but I have sensory issues so it might not be so bad for someone else. After the mask, my nails looked and felt more hydrated and and healthier, and visibly looked better. I definitely think these are a necessity for when acrylic/gel nails are removed and you feel like your natural nails need a pick me up. I would love to have more than 2 uses in a set but that's just me being nitpicky. ((Will update with after photo soon))

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the application pretty complicated, it is not intuitive at all, it has a bunch of steps and for me was kind of messy. The packaging is fun, it comes in a fun yellow box and it is easy to use. I think this product has helped my nails, but they are still improving, my nails still need help, but this product have definitely helped with the strength making them harder, I hope this allows my nails to grow long like they used to be when i was younger.

    Truly does work

    jessaleighc_199 - 4 months ago
    originally posted on influenster.com
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was the perfect test subject for this product as I use press on nails. I buff my nails with a nail file and the glue is very harsh on my natural nails when taking the press ons off. As you can see from my before and after picture, this product did improve the hydration and physical appearance of my nails after about 8 hours of being on overnight. I was skeptical but it truly does work. Wish there were more than 3 sizes to choose from but even if the patch is larger than your nail it will still work.

Didn’t irritate my skin and no noticeable scent. I think it moisturized my nails but may not be enough to fight dry winter and handwashing

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My nails are often exposed to water and chemicals, so they are very brittle and break easily. When I stick hard as hoof on my nails, it feels like I'm sticking a layer of glue. I can still use my hands normally. After peeling it off, I see that the surface of my nails is smooth and shiny. I've used up the whole box, but I think I need to use it for a long time to feel my nails become stronger.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This did the trick. I wear press on often, and since I make content and use my hand so much I change my nails almost weekly. The glue can definitely wear down my nails. These left my nails feeling hydrated and strong. The application is easy and I could still do things like use my phone. These are now apart of my nail routine.
