This is all over my fb feed. Has anyone used them?
I can’t paint my nails to save my life. I am so u steady with my left hand it’s comical. I’ve tried dips and gels but same issue. I don’t prefer mlm so nail street is out.

Love them! Way cheaper than Color Streer and they last a week without a top coat.

I have bought them too. They have some different cute designs and are cheaper than ColorStreet. But I prefer ColorStreet - some of the L&F almost feel plastic to me.

I love them! I use an alcohol wipe first, then a base coat, and a top coat on top. I can get them to last 2 weeks easily, but generally can't get nail polish to last more than a couple of days. You can easily reposition them if you get them in the wrong spot, so you don't need to be overly timid in placing them. And they recommend that you don't leave them on for more than 2 weeks at a time, just to make sure you don't get some water trapped underneath with time or anything. Also, they will only send one file with any single order, whether you order 1 set or 1000, so order a few extras if you order several sets. (The files do last for several uses, I just tend to lose them!) And they do take a long time to arrive if you get the free shipping. I did have one set that felt more plastic-y, as Bridget in MD noted, but it still worked fine. All the different nail polish sticker (I don't know what else to call them) companies have a slightly different set of sizes/shapes of them, so you may want to just try a couple of sets first to see if this brand works for you. |

I love Lily & Fox! I have them on my fingers right now. I’ve been using them for over a year now and have quite a large stash. They last a good 2 weeks and I get lots of compliments. I find the glitters easiest to work with. I have wide nails so I use the 5 largest in the set and stretch them all to fit my nail beds. They were having issues with slower than usual free shipping but my last order had a quicker shipment so hopefully that has been resolved. They have great customer service.

I personally am not a fan. I think you get what you pay for. My nails tend to peal when I've used them.
Color Street may be more expensive but I can wear them for 2+ weeks easy!

tracylynn, that's really interesting. I tend to have peely nails and these actually prevent that from happening for me! Body chemistry is so weird! I'm assuming you don't try to peel them off for removal or anything?

I'm assuming you don't try to peel them off for removal or anything? Nope! I was so disappointed! They are a great deal and have pretty patterns. But like you said, everyone has different body chemistry, so who knows! |
