I'm lucky if I can go a full 24 hours without chipping newly polished nails. I only got these because they were 50% off at Target (regularly $8.49). But have now ordered several from Amazon, still cheaper than the store. They are made of real nail polish, but have something else in them because they don't get nicks or chip as easily as regular nail polish. They last at least 2 weeks for me. Possibly longer but I like to change them. People say they're a pain to take off, but they're made of nail polish, not a sticker. Using nail polish remover it is similar to taking off maybe 4 coats. One box comes with 2 sealed packs of 8 strips each. My nails are short, and I can easily use one strip on 2 nails. So each box easily provides 2 full sets of nails for me. I can also do my toes using only 3 strips, by applying them then trimming off the edges. So if I'm careful, I can use just one pack for a full set of fingers and toes.
I've followed the directions but they don't adhere as good. Here's how I do it (I think this way is much better) -
I give myself a manicure first. The instructions suggest smoothing your nail with the smooth side of the file (included) before applying. For me, they don't stick as well that way. I use the darkest pink side of the file and lightly 'roughen' the nail, blow off any dust, then apply. They provide a little give, so if you press it on and it's not prefect, you can still lift it back up and reapply a couple times. After the 2nd time of lifting it up it's less sticky, but heat makes it adhere, so pressing it down for 5-10 seconds with another finger gets it stuck well. I use the tip of another nail to make a crease at the end of my nail, and on any sides that go onto my skin, and pull off the excess. Then I use the smooth side of the file to vigorously smooth the top of my nail, creating friction and heat to make it stick well. Done!

You have to read the directions, and be careful. If you have a steady hand, and love to do your own nails, this is for you. I love these strips.

When using these polish strips you have to take your time. You have to give yourself a manicure first then slowly lay on the strip. And it helps to have warm hands. The strips last over ten days for me and still look wonderful, and I do alot of cleaning without gloves. I do put a clear layer of no chip nail polish so that might be why mine last longer. My only complaint is that its a hassle to take off.

These are very thin and tear if you are not careful , plus they do not last 3 days let alone the 10 that they advertise.i have used other strips that I highly recommend for half of the cost. I was very disappointed.

You should get a decent week as directed but add a layer of the clear LED cured Sally Hansen Gel from before and after to get a solid 2 weeks. Really easy to apply this product.
