Kiss Nail Dress Review

I recently received  Kiss Nail Dress in Babydoll to try and review from Influenster. At first glance I thought they were cute and could work. I have only used Nail Polish before and I was very intrigued by trying some of these stick and peels. When I took them out of the box, I was first overwhelmed by a Nail Polish smell- which I did not expect. I did not think that sticker nail designs would have a smell; but these do! They package comes with 28 strips, 1 nail file, and a Nail Design Booklet.

The Application Process was tedious but it was simple. It took me about a total of 30 minutes to apply the designs to my nails. The directions were clear and simple but like I said before- they are tedious to apply. The filing of them is probably what took the longest and the gems on each nail made them hard to file. Once I figured out how to do file the remaining off- it definitely went faster.

1 Hour after Application:
They nails Still smell but they are still on. The nails core colors are speckling already but are still holding strong. No major chips yet.

Next Morning:
They Lasted the Night! Wahoo! No major the chips and the smell has subsided!

2 Days Later:
They have chipped a minuscule amount and you cannot even tell that! I love looking at my nails- this is the longest my nails have stayed pretty!

5 Days Later:
OK one of my nails fell off but I am keeping the others on to see how long they will last. The minuscule chipping continues but still it is not very noticeable. Some of the jewels have fallen off but the you wouldn't know unless you touch the nail as Kiss has put Silver Sequins under each Gem so it still looks good!

7 Days Later:
Ok I finally peeled them off. I was tired of looking at the poor nail that didn't have one on it any more and the others had started to fall off. I am still very happy with the product as the packaging says it lasts up to 10 days and they made it 7! My nails don't normally allow nail polish to stick to it so I am very VERY Pleased with this product!

Overall:
I am very pleased with this product and have raved about it so much that I received another package for my Birthday! My nails are going to be styling! They chipped minimally compared to normal nail polish and I would certainly recommend these to any one who wants nice looking nails without the effort! Plus they are cheaper than going to a Salon!

I received this product from Influenster and this review is 100% my own opinion. I was not payed to write anything to sway you to one side or another.

Hiatus

Hello Readers!

I wanted to inform you, as it is only polite, that I have lots of posts in draft forms currently but due to the high pressure and stress that midterms bring- no new posts will be up until the weekend! I hopefully will have a new tutorial or 2 coming up by then based on the outstanding reactions I got to my last duct tape flower tutorial! So keep your eyes peeled for that!

Until this Weekend,
Sarah
