I recently tried these:
I used the one pictured above, called Laced Up. Here are some more colors and patterns:
I read a lot of good reviews for these and saw how quickly they were selling out everywhere. But my experience wasn't the same.
They are supposed to be long-lasting, up to ten days. Mine started chipping right away. I followed their instructions prior to putting the strips on (make sure nails are completely clean), but I still had difficulty adhering them.
My fingers are rather small and so I had trouble finding ones that weren't too wide. I was not able to just file off the excess as they say to do, I had to resort to nail clippers. The strips are like very thin decals.
Finally, when it came time to remove them, I was not able to get them off with nail polish remover, as they claim. Now, to be fair, it may have been because I use non-acetone remover, who knows. But I had to end up peeling them off the best I could, and it has left marks on my nails which I can hopefully buff off.
On the upside, I did receive some compliments on them.
So that's my two cents on this product, not the glowing review that they seem to get everywhere else. Has anyone used these?
