Looks SUPER Cute- But Is Not Without Flaws
This Townley Girl L.O.L. Surprise! Peel- Off Nail Polish Activity Set is only okay. For young kids, this could potentially be fun like maybe 4/5 rating just for the fun of doing nails and that this set looks really cute, but all together including quality I’m only going to say 3/5 stars and I’ll tell you why.<br /><br />Pros-<br />-5 cute-looking nail polishes<br />-240 cute little nail gems organized by type<br />-Surprise nail stickers<br />-Adorable little LOL doll bag to store items in<br />-Kid friendly nail polish set<br />-Dries fairly quickly<br />-Peel off (Some may consider this a negative)<br />-Everything just appears adorable and well-presented. I’m sure any little girl would see this and get excited<br /><br />Cons-<br />-Nail polish doesn’t appear as vivid on nails as in bottle. They are pretty transparent (Blue is the worst as you can see from my pictures)<br />-May dry fairly fast but will require multiple coats to show up well- especially blue. The pink and purple probably show up the best<br />-They are peel off which can be nice, but are prone to peeling off when you don’t want them to. My daughter went to wash her hands and a few of the nail colors had fallen off. I tried them on myself and they can stay a little while, but kids aren’t so careful.<br />-Not a huge deal but the rectangular<br />decorative caps are separate from the actual caps that close the nail polish bottles. You can sit there and twist the rectangular caps forever, but they often just spin around the actual cap. I usually have to take those off first and then unscrew the real cap. They could have just made it all one? I don’t know... seems silly.<br />-The gems are adorable, but this is actually what frustrates my daughter the most (she is 5). There is no glue or anything specifically to hold the gems in place. I just painted her nails and then added some globs of extra polish to act as glue. NOPE. Fell off in less than a minute even after waiting for them to dry-all of them.... and she was so excited about them and became a little frustrated wondering why I couldn’t get them to stick.<br />-The bag is cute, but for some reason, the company thought it was a good idea to put some type of adhesive on the back of the bag to connect it to the plastic packaging. Again, not a huge deal, but it won’t come off and you can see it in my picture stuck there with an obvious fold in the bag. I’m not sure why they thought that little adhesive circle was necessary.<br /><br />In conclusion, is this a fun set for kids?  Yes, it can be, unless those kids may become easily frustrated with their freshly painted nails and gems falling off left and right just minutes after they spent time finishing them.<br /><br />It really is a cute set and my daughter and I had a bit of fun, but we were both still disappointed too which is sad because I was so excited about ordering this for her. I hope my review was helpful in some way, and if so, I would love to know- thanks!
