Since my throat is all messed up right now and I don't want to bother with nail polish because the fumes might make it worse, I thought.. gee! Perfect chance to try out some more nail strips!
EEEEP! Wrong!
So. Today I'm trying out Momentum Brands Nail Strips which I won in a giveaway recently. These strips are absolutely beautiful, and very easy to apply. In fact, they are much easier to use than the Jamberry nails I've tried previously, so I will give them that - which is about the only good thing I have to say about them.
- they did not lay flat
- as you can see in this picture, they rip very easily.
- despite ripping easily, I still have some snaggle spots where they do not lay flat but worse, they do not file well AT ALL. The instructions specifically say to file them down which I might add was a little tricky, so for them to rip so easily yet file with difficulty is... shall I say obnoxious?
- edit: it hasn't even been an hour since I posted this, and two of the strips fell off and I have no idea where they went. I'm not even doing anything with my nails. I'm sitting at the computer typing and they fell off! :(
Did I mention the package comes with 16 strips? 16. So now I have 6 more left over for my toes, I suppose?
I AM very thankful I was able to try these for free. I would have been very upset if I had paid for them... and I am very disappointed, as I was really hoping these would be better than the Jamberrys. I still have.. I think 3 other brands of nail strips to try out sometime. Hopefully one of those will be better than these things!
I know some people love their nail strips, but as you can tell.. so far I am not one of them!
Another honest review from our licely Melanie :-) Thanks for sharing! I've had my doubts about nail strips for a while now, mostly because of how much they cost.
ReplyDeletehaha thanks. I feel like it's more like a rant than a review :P
Deletegood point about the price.
That's a shame :( But like you were saying at least you got them for free. I've never tried the nail strips but people seem to like the Sally Hansen ones :)
ReplyDeletethose will probably be next on my list.. I do have some Sally Hansen's to try out so we shall see!
DeleteI can't get nail strips to work for me. Jamberry nails are of the debbil.
