The strips are way to big for my nails and I can never get the sides of tips to lie down smooth. Also the wear time is pretty awful on me. For $10 I should be able to wear these for more than 3 days before I notice considerable tipwear.<br /><br />It's a shame because those little ghosties are so damn cute!Rie (Nails and Noms)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04822085500904825838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787705833327564948.post-64417701407736119262011-10-25T17:49:52.258-04:002011-10-25T17:49:52.258-04:00The design is absolutely attractive!

But you're right, if it takes forever to put on and makes a mess, it's not so fun wearing them.Rinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12910432515140250596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787705833327564948.post-91183499403786227342011-10-25T14:12:06.033-04:002011-10-25T14:12:06.033-04:00@Jennafroggy: Exactly!

I know that I did everything right when prepping, but I suck at filing my nails so maybe that's where I went wrong ;)<br /><br />@Miss L & Mandy: Thanks girls :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737030409204896605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787705833327564948.post-33327010203459758942011-10-25T14:08:02.163-04:002011-10-25T14:08:02.163-04:00These look fine!

Less trimming equals a cleaner look.PinkQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442050487911194512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787705833327564948.post-38355173146798455182011-10-25T13:31:43.687-04:002011-10-25T13:31:43.687-04:00I love them!

I think it takes practice...but think about it, once you get the hang of it you get an awesome salon art mani for less than 10 bucks...can't beat that. I use a buffer on the nail tips after I file off the excess and then seal it all in with a top coat. In the beginning I would get one or two that wanted to lift due to improper nail prep but I would use clear nail polish over the edge. If it was still a little lifty, I noticed that the next day after it had time to cure with top coat that they were all perfectly stuck on and flat. I especially love how they feel so thin on the nail.PinkQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442050487911194512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787705833327564948.post-30919306614585253282011-10-25T11:05:23.519-04:002011-10-25T11:05:23.519-04:00Don't worry you're not the only person who...Don't worry you're not the only person who hates them. I tried them not long ago and ripped 2 down the center while trying to get them on and just had horrible luck all the way around. Most of all I hated spending 10 bucks on something I could only use once, knowing I could get polish and other things for the same price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
