Amazon reminds me I bought these nail decals on 12/10/11. It's 2/6/12, and I've just done my toes for the third time. I've only done my fingers twice. Every time, I've had a good experience. And I've learned a little more. I read someplace that these decals are actually a layer of polish and will dry out if kept for long. So I've wrapped the unused strips tightly in plastic wrap between uses and had no trouble. I've found that, with care, I can get two uses out of each pattern of 16 decals as each is about 1.5" long. My nails, both fingers and toes, top out a bit above 1/2". It means careful application with no wastage, but I think it's worth it. On my fingernails, with a topcoat, the decals last about a week, looking nice. I cook, knit and crochet and do beadwork, so they get a workout. On my toes, I take them off after about 10 days, but I think they could go longer. The last time, I didn't even put a topcoat on my toes; same result.It is important to have really clean nails, pushed-back cuticles, and a bit of patience for the best results. I lay the sticky side on my nail, rub it carefully with a tissue to seal it down, then gently bend and pull off the extra decal parts. I don't use the emery board to trim the top b/c it isn't as nice an edge. If the design--and your nail size--permit, you can then apply the top of the decal to another nail and repeat. Smooth and tuck with the cuticle stick, apply topcoat, and enjoy. I have found that you can also fix a chip with leftover decal if necessary. The design hides the flaws much better than fixing a chip in regular nail polish.
Now I'm buying another set of these so I can share some, but I'm really wishing for different patterns. Of the 8 designs, I think 3 are pretty cute, 3 are so-so (fine for toes as the shock factor works better there, and it's not so necessary that they coordinate with your wardrobe--especially in winter), and 2 are "whuh?"
I started with and learned a lot on the "whuh?" decals (purple camouflage). Strange, but they got a lot of compliments and a lot of "did you do that yourself? Amazing!" I do think it's worth not starting with your favorite pattern. I'd certainly give this product 5 stars if the pattern choice were more to my liking. But for what you get, it's a great value.
