I love these! I actually use them on my toe nails. They do stretch a bit. They are very easy to use. Let them dry for about 5 minutes then apply a top coat. If you apply right after it can drag some of the color. I have always had these last more than 2 weeks.

I have nothing bad to say about this product. I have heard people say they don't last as long as mine do. Apply per the instructions and they will last pretty much until you take them off. The only reason I ever have to remove the product is because my nails are getting too long and you can see too much new nail where they have grown out.

Picked these up last time I was in Ulta, as they looked fun and they were buy one, get one 50% off. I was hestitant, as I've tried a competitors' store brand stick-on strips and I couldn't even do both hands before the strips dried out and were useless. I'm so glad I picked these up! They are SO easy, and actually work and look fabulous! Love that there are two sets that are sealed seperately in airtight packs. The instructions were easy to follow, and the sets come with everything you'll need. I have done two seperate design applications now and am thrilled! The first lasted about two weeks, and growth was really the only thing noticed - I didn't have much chipping or damage. My nails are still recovering from gel and acrylic abuse, and often damage, chip or crack easily, so I find that these offer some protection, as well. For those with stubby little nails like mine, I would recommend cutting each strip in half, so you can use one side for the left hand, and the other for the right, without much waste. Because overall, that would be my only issue for the value. They seem a bit expensive for DIY to only be able to do one manicure. The next time I pick these up, I am going to open only one package and cut them in half, so I can get two uses out of one box. Overall, I love these and will continue to purchase. I might even try the "gel" type to see how those work, as well.

I love Salon Effects nails strips by Sally Hasen. They are easy to use anywhere-and I mean anywhere! The last place i put mine on was in the car on my way to the city for date night...don't worry I wasn't driving! They went on seamlessly as all I had to do was pull back the sticker and place them on my nails. Instantly finished my polished look for a night of Broadway theatre!

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.

You could use these without base coat and top coat but I suggest otherwise. Without base/top coat 5-7 perfect chip free days. With 10-14 chip free days easily! Also if youre like me and have short nails, you can cut them in half and get two manicure out of each box. Love Love Love these!

Do be sure to use polish remover first to remove any oil from your nails before applying the polish strips. Some are easier to apply than others. It takes some patience and practice the first couple of times that you use them, then it becomes easy to get great results. Apply a coat of top coat daily to extend the wear and you can wear them for 10- 14 days. I am addicted to them.

Love using this product because my nails look great for about 9 days. I recently purchased the Sally Hansen Salon Effects gel kit, which includes a set of nail strips, plus the gel. I already had the UV light so did not have to purchase it. Using the gel polish over the nail strips is even better then just applying the strips. My nails lasted for 12 days. Love this product and will definetly continue to use it! Beats going to the nail salon and spending so much money on acrylic nails, which mess your nails up.

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.

Easy to apply and long lasting. You can make them last even longer by adding a coat of topcoat every day or so.

Love these nail stickers, I always end up chipping my nail-polish within a day, but it took more than a 1.5 weeks for them to chip with the polish strips!!
