I have not used the nail art version because I am addicted to the French manicure. I have never been able to achieve the perfect French manicure at home. These strips are the answer. They are relatively easy to apply and the last 5 to 7 days. I was really frustrated to find the left over strips dry out and are unusable for touchups. But, with a little ingenuity I have figured it out. Just like regular nail polish will thin out with a little nail polish remover, these also come back to life. You just dip the dried tip in a little remover, place on your nail, and let it harden. Then, you either clip it with a cuticle trimmer and then file or use your emery board to remove the excess. Dip your finger again and it will adhere perfectly. Repeat with the full nail cover. If carefully done, you can get double the mileage out of each cover and nail tip. I just repaired 2 of my chipped nails on day 6 and used only one tip and one cover. I will be able to get at least another week out of these. As an upgrade they should package some separately for touch ups so I wouldn't have to go through this extra effort.

I am in love! I was really skeptical of these strips. I saw the fishnet print in store and had to give it a try. They were a little tricky to apply, but once I did a few it got easier. In fact, each time I try a new set I find that I am doing it quicker and with much better results. Everywhere I go I get compliments. Just today I received one from the girl working in the Ulta store! At first my nails were pretty short so I was able to cut each strip in half so I could get an entire manicure out of one pack. I've even managed to do a pedicure out of the remaining strips in the pack. Since I've been using these my nails are finally growing for the first time ever! I find that because they are pricy I make myself leave them on for at least a week (I change regular polish every 2-3 days). By the time the week is up the tips definitely show wear, but it's not terribly obvious.

Comments:

I've used several different designs of these nail polish strips and I always receive loads of compliments about my nails everytime I do! They are very easy to apply, much easier than painting your nails evenly with your left hand. Mine usually last 12-14 days but I've been known to stretch them a little further. They are MUCH cheaper than the Professional MINX brand and having used both I actually prefer the Sally Hansen strips and you don't need any special equipment to apply. I have found that the glitter designs are a lot harder to remove than the matte ones.

I've spent years trying to polish my own nails, but they always look a mess. I watched a couple YouTibe videos on applying nail strips, bought this product, and it's all history from there. My co-workers think I've had a pro manicure every week! I'm rather traditional, so I mostly use the solid color strips, but here is how I apply them so they last about seven days easily (and I work in a tech job that requires typing all day). 1. If you have thick cuticles like me, apply a cuticle remover and push them back. 2. Wash hands and use a buffing block to remove extra bits of cuticle and to smooth the nail. 3. Swipe nails with polish remover and wash again. 4. Make sure nails are dry, and open the package of strips and start choosing which ones fit your nails. 5. Start with the pinkie and pull off the top plastic portion the pull off the strip. Line up to your nail and apply. 6. Use the opposite hand thumb to smooth down the middle and then each side, pushing the strip over the end of the nail. 7. Use the provides emery board to file off the excess. I use the cuticle stick provided to remove any extra bits. 8. This is key to making the strips last: apply a strong top coat and let it fully dry. I apply a top coat every two days to protect the strip and reduce chipping. I also apply cuticle oil every other day to keep them supple and easy to push back. My nails grow super fast, so this lasts about 7 days for me. If your nails grow slower, it would easily last 10 days.

I love this product. I have been wearing mine for a week now and not one chip. I have found my new manicure. They are a bit pricey but still cheaper than getting a manicure. This is my new favorite product.
