Instant manicure-- Dry Nail Enamel Strips. Too good to be true?

This blows my mind! It's like nail polish strips, you peel it off, press it onto your nails, and that's all. It goes on dry so you don't have to wait for it to dry or anything! Sounds way too good to be true... how do you think it works?

i saw this commercial awhile ago and i was about to go buy it .. LoL ...

They did a live demo on the Tyra Banks show yesterday. It was soooo easy and the model said that it really stays on for a long time up to 10 days. I'm definitely going to try this.

Cool! Thanks for Sharing. I wonder if they sell this locally?

it would be great if everyones nailbed was the same as they are making these things...i would imagine if they don't fit your nail, it would be a pain in the behind to get them trimmed down and looking right...I'll stick to the old fashioned way of doing my nails, i change my polish every other day anyway

I saw this also, it looked so awesome! She just pressed the strip against the edge of her nails and it broke off perfectly and looked just like normal polish! The color was so pretty also. Of course, as someone already pointed out, everyone's nails are different, they might not be the right shape or size. But since I'm a total perfectionist and my nails are ALWAYS smudged or chipped, I'd love to try these! Anyone who does or already has, let us know how they are!

It sounds like just another thing I try where I screw up my nails....but that's just me. It's all about coordination, which I am totally lacking when it comes to nails. I know many of the ladies here are far more better at it than me!! It sounds perfect except for the fact that I'm totally not able to pull it off!

I just bought some but haven't tried them yet. I think they are expensive. You get 16 fingernails worth. That isn't enough to do 2 manicures for $4.99. I won't buy them again.

I thought they looked pretty kewl on the commercial! But that price is too spendy for me. I'll stick to normal polish.

I've been tempted to get some, but I haven't yet... You'd think as a Rep I'd jump on getting something new before the general public can get it, but I didn't... Curious as to how well it works...

i read this i think in the new lucky magazine. i was like wow thats just crazy.

My Mom told me abou this, I can't see this working on everyone's nails, esp. since I have the hands of a five yr. old (and super narrow nails).

I think it's a gr8 idea

I would love to know some reviews on this...

It sounds perfect except for the fact that I'm totally not able to pull it off! I'm with you. I'm terrible with my nails. It's easier for me just to keep clear polish on them because you can't see my screwups with that.....But it is a novel idea. it always amazes me how they come up with stuff. I'd bet it be great for proms, brides, etc if they fit their nails.

I put mine on last night. Already they are lifting on the edges. I was even careful when I applied them and made sure my nails were clean. The sizes were pretty good except for my pinkie finger. I did a review on this product. Poor product and very expensive.

I guess we'd better start a thread on polishing the nails!!

I like the idea but, i dont like the price. I hate painting my nails cuz i always screw up somehow .

I have really short nails that are very uneven from biting. I doubt this would work for me, so I probably won't be buying it anytime soon. It does look super cool though.
