INSTANT LENGTH​: Just apply, LED cure, and go for up to 14-day wear. No glue or tabs required.​

EASY, GENTLE REMOVAL​: Quick, no-soak off removal with Magic Off+ (sold separately).​
ANTI-STICK SEALANT: The final touch that seals exposed adhesive under nail tips—keeping hair, dust, and debris from sticking.

Glaze Extensions French Old School

Glaze Extensions

How are these different from Glaze?

Both products are made with a soft gel formula that molds to the curve of your natural nail—except Glaze Extensions are pre-shaped and add length. After curing and sealing, they’re completely ready to wear.*

*No trimming or filing necessary, but you do need to finish with the anti-stick sealant.

Can I use my Glaze lamp to cure Glaze Extensions?

No—you’ll have to use either the Glaze Extensions LED Lamp or the One Gel LED Lamp to cure these. The Glaze Mini LED Lamp is not strong enough to fully cure Glaze Extensions, so please do not attempt!

Can I use a different lamp to cure Glaze Extensions?

The Glaze Extensions LED Lamp is compatible with ALL Dashing Diva products. Glaze Extensions will also cure with the One Gel LED Lamp. Do not attempt to cure with the Glaze Mini LED Lamp or the GelXtend LED Lamp, as neither delivers sufficient wattage for a full cure.

How many watts does the Glaze Extensions LED Lamp have?

The Glaze Extensions LED Lamp is 10W—slightly stronger than the Glaze Mini LED Lamp (6W). Because Glaze Extensions require a higher wattage to fully cure, it’s important to use the correct lamp. Using insufficient wattage may result in an incomplete cure and compromised wear. 

How do I set up the lamp?

There are three different ways to position the lamp—refer to the options below to find the setup that works best for you: 

  • FOR SPEED: Unfold both legs and place the lamp upright in a tabled position to cure four fingers at once. Cure thumb separately.

  • FOR SCULPTING: Fold one leg in and extend the other to angle the lamp on a 45-degree angle. This allows you to sculpt the nail as it cures using your free hand, without restricting movement.

  • FOR FLEXIBILITY: Fold both legs in completely and hold the lamp in one hand as you cure the nail(s) on the other for max control and precision.
Are these HEMA-free?

Yes—Glaze Extensions are perfectly safe for anyone with a gel allergy! 

Can I shorten or reshape the extensions?  

If you wish to re-shape or shorten Glaze Extensions, you may do so by filing AFTER curing. Do not trim with a clipper or scissor—this will lead to the nail cracking!

Can I use nail glue to adhere these?

Glaze Extensions already have a pre-applied adhesive, therefore they do not require any additional nail glue. For optimal results, please follow the original instructions and cure the strips under LED light, rather than using nail glue and letting nails air dry. Application methods are not interchangeable and will result in unsuccessful wear.

Why do the strips still feel soft and bendy after curing?

Some designs need a second cure to reach max strength. Gently press the edge of the nail tip or tap it against the lamp—if there’s a noticeable amount of give/flexibility, cure once more to increase hardness.

Are these safe for weak or damaged nails?

These are actually perfect for weak or damaged nails* when the correct prep and removal is followed. Glaze Extensions act as a layer of protection, allowing your natural nails the opportunity to uninterruptedly grow without breaking throughout wear. Use Magic Off+ to safely and gently remove Glaze Extensions without compromising the health of your nails. 

*If nails are in critical condition, please consult a healthcare professional prior to use. 

What are the biggest mistakes to avoid?

When selecting your sizes, always size down! The biggest culprit to nails prematurely lifting is selecting a size too large for your nail bed. Always lift the strip from the free-edge side (indicated by the ▼ above each strip), as minimizing contact with the adhesive will ensure optimal adhesion.

Also, be sure to apply the anti-stick sealant to avoid dust, hair, and anything else from sticking underneath your nail tips. 

Lastly and MOST IMPORTANTLY, always store remaining strips in their container with the cover on. Exposing the strips to any light source can compromise future wear by hardening them prior to the next use.

    Lasted only a day

    I followed the instructions to a tee and in one day they were separating off from the nail. They looked great for the day

    I want to try these again and see if I can get a better fit!

    I will definitely be trying these again, but I did have some issues with the fit the first time.

    You can see in the picture that the difference in length for the medium sized ones compared to the smallest ones made for quite a difference on my nails. Maybe I just have a weird distribution of nail sizes, though. :)

    I had a little bit of hair catching, particularly on one nail. But since it was on my dominant hand, it seemed more noticeable. The bottom edge of the nail didn’t stick down as well as the rest. I tried replacing it after a few days, but still had the same issue.

    I also had one pop off after almost a week, which I’ve never had happen with the regular glaze. I replaced it but had it happen again after a couple days. Unlike other glaze sets, there are only 30 total, so I am bummed that I won’t get 3 full sets out of this pack after having to make some replacements.

    I think I’ll try trimming the bottom of the longer ones so that they fit a little better and hopefully that’ll make a difference the next time around!

    I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes. All opinions are my own.

    New Glaze Extensions vs Glaze

    I've been using Glaze LED from Dashing Divas for several years and have been really happy with how they look and the comments I get from friends confirmed that. After being chosen to try the Glaze extensions, I was excited and hopeful. I applied them exactly as the instructions had shown and with the proper LED lamp. The nails didn't last for more than an hour. Two popped off on one hand and then the other hand. How sad. I wanted to give the nails another chance and didn't another application with the leftovers. And unfortunately, it happened again. Sad to say I won't be trying these again.

    Almost great

    I'm a long time Glaze user. Thought I'd try the new extensions since I always seem to have one broken natural nail and I love the idea of uniform length on all 10 fingers for once. These are so close to being great. Easy to apply. Cured and hardened nicely. But they are pretty short in length and have this weird yellow/brown tint to them. I would love to see these in the same French tip but with a true neutral or pink tint. And offer a version with more length. Seems ironic to have to trim my nails for these when the goal is extra length.
