Nailart by Aria is the first Nail artist-owned semi cured gel nail wraps brand, the Foodie Collection consists of 5 trendy plain colors of 2024. As a small business, their semi cured gel nail strips are also sold at a much cheaper price, going for only USD$9.99 per set.
Best Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips—Foodie Collection Swathes: Avo-cuddle
Avo-cuddle is a fashionable and cute green. Under natural and indoor lighting, it is a subtle and low vibrance green, resemble a ripe avocado. Under strong white light, it turns a bit more of a grass green under the camera, but doesn't really look as saturated to the naked eye. This is my personal favorite in the Foodie Collection. It has an adorable name and is a quite cheerful shade. I even drew cuddling avocados on them to honor the pun.
Best Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips—Foodie Collection Swathes: Wine of A Kind
Wine of A Kind is the most popular shade in this collection. This semi-jelly burgundy shade can brighten up your hand and give it a youthful glow. Unlike regular bright red which could easily come off as aggressive or tacky if not careful, this shade is perfect for people of all ages and skin tones. I almost love it as much as I love Avo-cuddle and can't decide who is number one. My mom loves it as well and wore it to a wedding where she received so many compliments.
Most importantly: you might know this if you wear nail polish regularly. Red shades of nail polish and gel are very pigmented, they can easily turn your nails yellow, are very difficult to remove, and could leave you with pink cuticles and nail beds for days. These semi cured gel nail strips completely avoided these troubles. I also did some nail art on them which was much easier as well. Typically, when I use red nail polish as base, it seeps through the art on top and turns everything pink. This time, everything was clean and gorgeous.
Best Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips—Foodie Collection Swathes: Hazel-nutty
Hazel-nutty is a classic beige. Under natural and indoor lighting, it's this milk-tea-like shade that never goes out of style. Under studio white lighting, my camera auto increased the saturation and turned a bit orange, kind of like the color of Thai milk tea. The photo with chocolate is closer to it's actual color in-person.
This is my mom's second favorite color. It has an extending affect on her fingers and made her a lot more confident in how her hands look! At first, I thought the shade wasn't as nice as I expected but once I put them on, I was in love! I also drew some hot coco on it because who doesn't love hazelnut chocolate? They are beautiful and I can't get tired of them.
Best Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips—Foodie Collection Swathes: Open Sesame
Open Sesame is a stylish and chic light gray and is my sister's favorite out of the Foodie Collection. It's also a color that perfectly enhances your complexion and makes your fingers look longer. It's a color that goes with anything and is the second most popular shade in the Foodie Collection.
Best Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips—Foodie Collection Swathes: Legen-dairy
Legen-dairy is white and I'm sure you can appreciate the name of this shade just as much as I do if you've seen How I Met Your Mother. White is a forever trendy color that symbolizes classic fashion. The only thing I would remind you of is not to hold you nails to close to the UV/LED lamp with this one. Sometimes, when I want my nails to cure faster I hold my fingers right under the UV/LED lamp. The first time I applied these, I held my fingers right up against the bulb and I think I burnt the wraps a bit... I ended up with circular brown spots. So, be patient, These sets can be applied in under 15 minutes, don't ruin it just to save 1–2 minutes like I did. Keep your fingers on the table.
Best Semi Cured Gel Nail Strips—Foodie Collection Swathes: Mix & Match
Nailart by Aria doesn't have semi cured gel nail wraps for feet but the multiple sizes available in the 22-strip set makes it possible. I use the largest strip for my big toe and use the 3 smallest strips for the other toes. Since my toe nails are much shorter, I could use each strip twice. These are all sizes that don't fit my hands so I can actually complete a manicure and a pedicure using just one set, with strips still left over. The white and gray combination of Legen-dairy and Open Sesame is so pretty.
These plain colors mix and match so well! I also loved how elegant Legen-dairy and Hazel-nutty look together.
