There was a small learning curve to getting the hang of applying these but it was fairly easy. I had some issues with not getting them perfectly straight and once they are on you really can't peel them off and re-position them. Also, although there was a pretty good selection of sizes, none of them fit particularly well. There was at least one gap on some part of each of my nails. Here they are freshly applied:
As you can see, the positioning isn't great. And after filing off the excess I had what looked like tip wear right off the bat; as well as chunks of polish that tore off on some of the edges. And here's what they look like on day 3. They have quite a bit of tip wear as you can see.
Overall:
Pros: easy to apply, large variety of colors and designs
Cons: wear is not great, sizing of strips
All in all, I might buy these if I had a specific event to attend and wanted some great nail art that was quick and easy to apply that would just last for the day. Otherwise, for everyday wear I probably wouldn't because of the tip wear issues; I would rather just paint my nails. Has anyone else tried these? How about other brands? I'd love to hear about the experiences of others.
Til we meet again

They definitely need a little practice to get the hang of them. They're great if you go on vacation, I had them last over a week! It's also helpful to put a top coat over them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip about the topcoat. I actually have another set that I got for my birthday so I'll have to try that; and be a bit more careful when applying them.
