I bought these because I'm much too inept to paint designs on my own nails, and manicures are expensive. I had previously tried the Sally Hansen ones with success, and found these were even better.
They're easy to apply, and almost always stick on the first try. The strips are long enough that you can cut them in half and get 32 strips, enough for two manicures. This makes them worth it, at least to me. The pattern was fun and I got lots of compliments. My nails lasted two weeks with no chips, and a few days longer with minor ones. They were very easy to remove, since hot water and some polish remover loosened them, allowing me to peel them right off.
They do take a little practice, however. Even now, when I've used them multiple times, one usually just won't stick right and I have to redo it. This is fine with me, since extras are included.
Helpful tips: Cut each in half and lay them in order. Then peel off the upper layer. Buff each nail clean, then peel the backs off the strips and press. The trick to is use the white side of the nail file included to really press down the strips, and use the stick provided to roll out any bubbles and seal them on. If you find that they peel in the front, use the rough side of the file to really get off any excess that might snag and peel the strips off.
