Let's See How Long These Will Last...

When I was in HK, my friend told me about these nail color stickers/patches that you can just stick on your nails and it will look like you have real nail polish on. We were in Watson's one day and see them on sale for 50% off (HKD 34.5), so I grabbed 3 packs of these. They are actually made in the US and from the website it seems like they are available at Walgreen's. Each pack comes with 20 strips (so you can choose the perfect size for your nails), a polish removal cloth, cuticle stick, mini file, and looks like samples of the French manicure patches. The patch is like a soft film of plastic, you just stick it on your nail and get rid of the excess at the end and around the edges. Pretty easy to apply, and no more waiting for nails to dry and fear that it might get smudged. The site says it can last up to 14 days. Let's see if that is true. I'm liking them so far and would love to try out the Glitter/Shimmer ones if I can find them at Walgreen's. Sephora has something similar also so I might try those out later as well.



Update:
The last batch lasted about 10 days before I actually had to remove it, but there was noticeable cracking after just a few days. The polish did come off easily with the cloth that came with the package or any other regular nail polish remover.
