Review of Essie Sleek Stick, Embrace the Lace 070 1 set

Customer Ratings:

These are nothing like the Sally Hansen Nail Strips that I've used in the past. Those are a thin product, than when applied are like a couple layers of polish which last up to 10 days. These are just stickers with a strong smell that is like turpentine when you open the package. They are too thick to trim around the side or cubicles if they overlap a little there, unlike the Sally Hansen brand which can be trimmed easily using that little stick tool or even your fingernail from the other hand. It was also very difficult to get them to lie flat because of their thickness and so I ended up with little creases which were impossible to get out. The product was a total disappointment. I just pulled off the couple that I had tried to apply and dumped them. At least it was easy to pull them off.

I'm honestly shocked that these have such bad reviews. I decided to put them on today and it took me about fifteen minutes total. They were east to match up, when on nice and smooth. And they were super easy to file down. I LOVE them!

I have never used any other brand of nail "stickers," but the first time using them, I was able to apply them while riding IN A CAR during a road trip. I was able to carefully readjust them so they were straight and then press them into place. I don't have any bumps or ridges showing, and was able to trim the excess after application near the cuticle with nail nippers. They filed down just fine for me.

Honest reviews on Essie Sleek Stick, Embrace the Lace 070 1 set

I love the Sally Hansen product so I thought I'd give these a try. I liked the advertising mentioning that these do not dry out in the packaging if opened (which is my only complaint about the Sally Hansen product). I didn't like these for several reasons:

1. Application was terrible. These did not stretch, therefore I ended up with wrinkles on my nails.

2. Difficult to file off excess. It left a very unprecise edge.

3. Shape of sticker was terrible, width-wise. I would have picked a larger size and trimmed down except I couldn't because of #2 above.

4. Never fully dried to where it was hard. I applied correctly (washed hands and wiped nail bed off with alcohol). I was able to easily pull off the entire sticker the next day. I can now appreciate that the Sally Hansen product dries out in the packaging if left open.
