Stick On Nail Polish Update

Do you remember this video? You know, the one for stick on nail polish? Its all the rage.

You don't see many nail posts around here. That is because I am not skilled at polishing my own nails and I rarely get manicures. I realized that when I got one this March, the last manicure I had was for my wedding....the previous March. That is terrible. I am going to try harder in this department. I think.

I got these in one of my first Birchbox deliveries. It took me awhile to use them. Mostly because I absolutely hated the color. But also because doing this required me to sit still, which rarely happens.

The video demonstrates my first experience using this product. You can see that I am struggling, (maybe a little bored), but it was pretty easy to use. Even for me. I only kept it on for a day, because it was painfully ugly. Really, blue sparkles? Not my jam.

Like I said, it was pretty easy to apply. It did start to lift, around the cuticles and started to get snagged on things, This could have been due to user error. Me being the user. My major dislike from this is because of the removal process. To remove, you saturate a cotton ball with nail polish remover and apply pressure, wiping the stick on polish away. I have to say, this was more time consuming (and took some muscle) than I was expecting.


A few weeks later, I tried the Sally Hansen brand. I wanted to experiment with a color I would actually want to wear. The Sally Hansen stick on nails come in so many patterns and fun prints. That is not really my thing, I am more into neutrals, if I ever even put a color on my nails. Well, I get a little wild on the toes, just not my hands. Its too distracting. It took some effort, but I found a neutral, beige color.

Isn't it pretty? I have to say, the Instagram filter makes everything look better. The color is pretty. This one took me so much longer the apply that the one from the video. I'm not sure why. The backing was too hard to remove. I did keep it on a bit longer. I was surprised how quickly that it started to peel away. A few days into, I used the same technique from before. This time, it was SO HARD to remove. I took it off the left hand and I was so exhausted by the amount of effort that it took, I didn't take it off the right hand for another 2 days. I know, embarrassing.

So many people have great things to say about these products. I don't think I will be a regular user. Looks like I am just not a nail girl. Maybe I will get better? I'll keep trying and let you know if I improve.

Have you tried them? What did you think? Did you enter the Makeover Give away?
