update on Kiss Stick-On Strips for nails

So I grew out my nails and tried Kiss Stick-On Strips for nails again. Having my nails longer helped out a lot! I also applied a top coat this time, it just added some shine. 
On a side note I applied these strips for a mini vacation where I was going to be swimming in salt water as well as going to Wet n Wild. I spent more then enough time in the water and the polish has started to pill a bit around the edges but they over all still look nice.

nail-aid ALMOST GEL TOUGHER NAILS!

So I had my nails done a few months ago and went to a new place...worse choice ever! They destroyed my nails! I told them to take it easy and not to file them to thin. I should have made them stop the second he talked to me like he knew what he was doing and I know nothing. Um Sr I know that I don't want my nails filed to the point that they are going to be sore! Either way my fault I should have walked away at that point and did not. Sadly what I was afraid of happened, once I was sick of the nails I took them off and they were a mess! Cracking, pilling and just so thin they hurt. Every time I touched something my poor nails would just fall apart. So I went to good ol Walmart and looked for something to help them out. This is what I found.


Box says:
Result
  • Hardest, strongest nails in just 1 day.
  • Ends peeling, chipping and cracking.
  • Strongest, most beautiful nails.
  • Fills in ridges for smoothest nails.
  • Fast drying, long lasting, high-gloss finish.


Directions: Apply one coat over dry, clean, bare nails. Let dry. apply a second coat. To use with nail color, apply one coat as base coat and one coat as top coat. Remove with polish remover and use every three days.

What do I think about it? I think it works really well. I had been using a clear top coat to keep them from cracking and chipping on everything I touched and it was working okay but not fixing the problem. This product is thicker then a normal clear coat so it helps keep it from peeling for sure! After using this product my nails are not as soft and painful, they are not peeling like they did even with a clear coat. I have been using this for a week now and will continue using it. The only time I have to worry about it chipping and getting caught on anything is when the already split nail grows out a bit. 


This product is new and is not on the Walmart site but it coast about $5.
