Review (4/5): Low Five stars
Here are a few things to know about these.
You need an UV light. The set I had were dry enough that I felt that I could almost not use an UV light but the directions say you need one and I followed the directions with this set.
You will file the top of your nails. so that these stick better. I did that but just for kicks to see how well it stuck without doing that, I left one nail top not filed. The polish did not stick to that nail. What this means is when you take off this police, the nail underneath will be very fragile and will rip off. This earned them the four stars instead of a full five stars.
The other thing you need to know is if you have short nails (as I do) the little gold design in this polish will most likely get cut off. The gold design on the plain nails is right in the middle of the nail polish and unless you have long nails this will be difficult to put on your short nails and keep that design. The makers really needed to put that gold design near one end or the other.
Having said all of that- These are great.
They are very easy to put on. I think I had a full manicure including UV light time in about 15-20 minutes.
When I got a phone call in the middle of the process, I was able to answer the phone without ruining my nails or fear of getting polish all over. They were pretty much dry from the start with just enough wet to keep them sticky so they stuck on your nail.
These have lasted for a few days with everything I do. I'm pretty hard on my nails/hands. I do dishes by hand in hot water several times a day. I garden and weed and the other day I was doing all sorts of heavy yard work and no chips, wear or tear on my nail polish.
I have received many compliments on this set. I love the color and I love the designs. They look professionally done and that is not because of my ability to put these nails on my nails- they just look great.
