Party Girl is the design.
I broke down and decided to buy these stick-on strips for my nails. They were only $3 so I figured if they don't work it wouldn't be to bad of a loss. I mostly like to just paint my nails but lets face it I am no good a designs. I wish I were better and I can do some things but any line work and I just make a mess.
First off I looked at the directions:
- Prep your nails
- Clean nails with alcohol. File and smooth nails.
- Keep strips in plastic sleeve until used.
- Select size that fits your nail.
- Apply near, not on cuticle & smooth away from center.
- Fold down over edge and file excess
*To remove gently peel off strip from the side.
First off I knew the stickers would not fit any of my nails. I did end up having to use scissors to cut the excess off and shape the sides which was a bit bothersome. Filing them really didn't work very well because it is a soft sticker and not hard like a nail. I did however file the edges as much as I could. You can see in the photos below that the edges are not very smooth but a bit jagged. I do think with a bit longer nails(mine are super short from where I recently took off acrylics) the finished edges would be a lot smoother.
As for the cost I got mine at the Dollar General for $3. You can also get them at Walmart for $5.97...Go to the dollar store I don't see myself paying $5.97 for these.
Also I am a homemaker so lots of washing dishes and cleaning where my nails and hands get wet. Normally I would wear gloves to protect my nails but I know not everyone is going to do that so did not while these were on to show you how long they would really last. The package says they will "last up to 10 days" mine lasted for two before the edges started to pill back and the color faded away.
The photos below point out the edges that are pilling back on day 3.
Day 3 they still look pretty good and I may keep them on for a while longer.
After 6 days I can not take anymore! I hate for my nails to be chipped in the least, I will take all my polish off if I get one small chip so at this point I am going to call it a day and take them off.
The photos are of day 6 when I decided to take them off.

I think they would work nicely on toes so I am going to be getting some to try it! I will also be growing out my nails a bit and trying again, I will update you guys on how it goes with a mini blog post.
To remove them you just pill them off. There was a bit of the glue stuck on my nails but I just rubbed it off. If need be you could use a bit of rubbing alcohol and that should take it off just fine.
