Kiss Nail Strips

I've tried the Sally Hansen nails strips, and some awful ones from eBay, but I've always wanted to try some other brands.

My hubby brought me home some from Kiss, so I had to test them!



In comparison with the Sally Hansen ones, they aren't as stretchy, so I wasn't able to get some of the folds and bumps out. They don't fit the nail edge as nicely either. They seem to be a little thicker than Sally Hansen's because it took more effort to stretch them and to file the leftover bits off.

Due to the bumpiness of them, I only wore them for about an hour until I had to apply a topcoat over them. The folds would catch on things and drove me crazy. For that reason, they didn't get a fair wear time comparison.

The topcoat didn't ruin them and make them lift as bad as it did with the cheapies from eBay, but it didn't help, either. It did try to shrink them and cause them to wrinkle up even more, though.

Basically, these could have been tolerable, but I just didn't like them. The pattern is adorable and I love it, there were just too many imperfections than I could handle, and they started to lift at the cuticles almost immediately.

My opinion? Splurge on the Sally Hansen ones! They are a bit pricey, but worth it! They are the best I've found!

I haven't worn a nail strip in about a year now - but I found that the SH one's were the best. I tried a few others - but my favorite is the Incoco ones!

So do I! I just wish they were better!
Yes, the pattern is lovely - but it's too bad they do not work perfectly...

Thanks! I will probably eventually just paint the pattern onto myself instead! =P
I totally agree with you! I do still want to try the essie ones though. The China Glaze ones are ok, and actualy a little cheaper than the sally hansen ones, but the sally hansen has the bestquality I have seen so far.

I didn't even know ChG made any! I just wish Sally Hansen had more designs to choose from. I mean they have a lot, but very few appeal to me.
The only pace I have seen the china glaze strips is at sally beaut supply. I am hoping sally hansen comes out with many more designs! I love when I find them on clearance!
I found some at the dollar store for $2. I wish I would have had some extra money to get some!
they are very cute tho!

They are cute! I could probably just paint that design onto my nails myself instead!
Isn't it?! I need to just try and paint it myself instead!
