WOW! One of the most amazing beauty products I've used in a while. First let me say I have never tried any brand of nail polish strips before (I believe Avon was first to market with this type of product). I saw these at Walgreens ($5.99) and decided to give them a try. They had been sitting in my bathroom for about a month when I finally decided to try them last night. My nails were a wreck and I was very tired. However, I have a function to go to tonight and did not want ratty looking nails. So I figured since there was no dry time involved and I could apply these relatively quickly I would give these a shot. I first throughly removed my old polish. I then pushed back my cuticles and lightly filed and buffed my nails. Applying the strips could not have been easier. Peel off the plastic, figure out which size to apply to which nail and gently press on. The strips are going to be much longer than your nail. You simply press (and file if needed) around the edge of your nail (the excess will come right off) and you are done. I got these in Lolita, which looked very dark matte red in the package, but went on a very shiny somewhat metallic deep wine (the color is just gorgeous). I have heard these can last up to two weeks, so we shall see. I normally use Revlon Colorstay and my manicure will look nice for approx. a week. After I applied these strips, I did put on two coats of the Colorstay clear topcoat for good measure. If my manicure lasts as long as I think it will I will definitely be repurchasing
