Can you honestly believe I'm doing a beauty post! I know! What is wrong with me? Anyways, I've been curious about how these nail polish strips work, so I decided "Hey, why not try it!!!" I decided to post my results since these suckers are "suppose" to stay on for a full 10 days. I haven't been able to keep polish on my nails for longer than a matter of hours in most cases!!! P.S. That's why I don't ever wear it...
Day 1
I was kind of nervous about putting them on... I mean I'm an extreme perfectionist and I knew once I messed up I would be done with the whole thing. But, I didn't! They were SUPER easy and looked better than when I paint my own nails. What do you think??? I was very impressed with them by this point.
Day 2
Nails still look like new... I have been cleaning the house and doing lots of other things today. Usually that would cause a lot of chipping on normal nail polish for me, but not these. I'm still very impressed!!!
Day 3
Still looking good!
Day 4
Today is the first day that I have noticed a chip. I have 2 tiny ones on my index fingers near the tip of my nail. I'm sure it is because these two fingers are probably used the most. It is hardly noticeable and I have to strain my eyeballs to see it! Again, I'm a very happy camper!
Day 5
No new chips that I have noticed. They are still looking great! There is some minor grow out by my cuticles, but of course that is to be expected :) Have I mentioned what a great invention these little babies are???? LOVE 'EM!
Day 6
Wow, my nails still look pretty good! To the untrained eyeball you would think they are perfect, however, I of course am seeing little tiny flaws as the days go by... but I mean it is day six... I've never had nail polish on this long! EVER!
Day 7
Not much new has changed... still look very good to the untrained eye!
Day 8
I washed my car by hand today... figured that this would definitely have some effect on the polish. NOTHING! They still look as good afterward! WOW!!!
Day 9
Little bit more wear and tear and grow out of course, but nothing major.
Day 10
Well... I made it to day 10! I cannot believe it! I'm officially in love with these little babies!!! In fact, my nails still look good enough to wear a few extra days... I'm gonna see how long I can go before they start looking nasty!!!
**TIPS** On the package of these it strictly states NOT to put a clear coat on top of the polish strips. I did do this however every couple of days. I truly think that this might just be what helped to keep them from chipping. I noticed no negative ramifications from doing this, in fact, I would suggest it.
I also cut the strips in half so that I could get two uses out of them for the price of one. Or, I would also like to try the left over pieces on my toes!!!!!

I love them too, just wish there were more designs. Thanks for the top coat tip. Much better than the nail stickers that are so difficult to apply!
