Well ladies, I cant say they lasted the 10 days the box claims, but after taking another look at the box it does say UP TO 10 days. Pfft. I would say they lasted about 5 days and after that my right hand started going downhill fast and then the left (the one I use for less things) followed. Like everything though I did rush through applying them because I didnt want to get half way through only to need to stop to change a diaper or get a snack or play cars..take your pick. I did find it odd that they didnt chip at the bottom. All mine chipped at the cuticle so it could be the way I applied them. So in their defense its *possible* they could look better longer if you take your sweet time putting them on. Its also possible that if you get into less stuff than me they might last longer. Im a mama to two small children so Im washing my hands about 500 million times a day. I would still recommend them for special occasions or if you dont have time to do your nails the old fashioned way. I know I will use them once in a while. Say a date night with my husband sometime between now and 18 years?
thanks for doing a follow-up. It is strange that they "chipped" at the cuticle. I am not a momma but my hands are in stuff all day with sewing, crafts, playing with the dog, housekeeping, etc etc...so I am sure mine would chip fast.
ReplyDeleteThanks again.
Ohhhh!! they are gorgeous. I had some in zebra print and they last forever! but I applied tons of crazy glue. I regretted it later because my nails took awhile to get healthier =(.
ReplyDeleteThese nail strips require no glue. You just stick em on and voila! Done. They are nice, but only for a little while unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteMy nail polish lifts at the cuticle if I didn't strip them properly of oils beforehand, or if I 'flooded' the cuticles with paint. So it might be to do with the application... Still, they look fun! I am too lazy to konad my nails with such cute designs.
