They come in five different colors (pink, purple, green, black, and blue). I chose blue.
These stickers are very thin, and appear to be made of vinyl. As you wrap them around each finger, the sticker can stretch without tearing, so you get a perfect fit on each finger. Just be sure the skin around your nails is very clean and dry for optimum results!
For this look, I started out with one coat of my trusty peel off base coat. You can read my review on that item here. Next, I painted one thin coat of Bonita Bond, Jail Bond as my base color. It is a very metallic silver polish. Then, using a latex free make-up sponge, I sponged on an ombre of two Fresh Paint colors: Dream Catcher and Arrowhead. I did three layers of sponging, and after my third layer, I smoothed it out with a quick dry top coat. Here is what it looks like so far:
If you are a nail polish addict like myself, then you know how incredibly hard it is to clean up a metallic polish. I dread it! Let's see how these stickers did. In order to get them off, the easiest thing for me to do was to cut them where the two ends overlapped, under my nails. Like this:
Using my tweezers, I carefully peeled them off, making sure they did not stick to my polish as I went around my nail. And, here is all the clean up I am left with:
This is amazing! I definitely need MORE of these stickers! I think i would have had even less to clean up if I would have made sure my fingers were completely dry! I was just too excited to try these out.
The last thing I wanted to mention was that, being allergic to latex, sometimes even stickers make my fingers break out (they use a cold latex glue in some products). It has been a couple days, and I have not had any signs of a reaction at all.
Overall, I am extremely excited about these stickers. They have to be the best "tool" I have! I will continue to use these for those hard-to clean up mani's.
