I had received these in my September
Birchbox and finally got around to trying them. and I would just like to say I am in love with
these! I’m really bad at nail art so this was the perfect solution. I loved the
chaetae design. They were easy to apply; it was just like putting a sticker on
your nails. I have really short nails so I found that one strip could do a
finger on each hand, which means one packet was is like 2 manicures for the
price of 1. I just cut it a bit above the nail and applied the remaining strip
to the other hand. Normally I can only get 2 maybe 3 days out of a normal
manicure if I’m lucky. I’m really hard on my nails. But with these I got 5 days
before I started to see small chips and it was about 7 before they really
started to peel off in bigger pieces. I did add 2 layers of a clear top coat to
protect them and seal the edges.
I checked the site and the strips
range in price from $7.99-$10.99 with the patterned designs costing more. Which
I think is a good deal seeing as they last longer than nail polish for me. I do
think I will try these again, I did see some cute Christmas and winter designs
on the site that I would like to try.

Birchbox Breakdown: Let’s be honest—it’s
annoying to wait for your nails to dry. These nail polish strips make it easy
to get a flawless manicure without worrying about smudging or streaking. They
come in a range of styles, from simple solid colors to out-there designs
(leopard, anyone?). Best of all, the strips last up to two weeks and comes off
with regular polish remover.
How it Work: They might look like stickers
but these nifty strips are actually hyper thin layers of real nail polish. When
you place them on your nails, they bend and conform to fit the contours of your
nail. Plus, they’re actually better for your nails than regular polish because
they contain less solvent and have small pores to let your nails breathe.
How to Use: Take off any existing polish and
buff nails thoroughly to get a smooth surface for application. Each package
comes with about 16 nails so you have some wiggle room if you mess up. Find the
strips that fit your nails the best, and remember that you can stretch them to
fit even better. Peel off the backing to the nail strip and place it on your
nail, stretching it to fit. Use a file to get rid of the excess and continue to
the rest of your fingers (or toes!). Watch our video for tips on perfect.
