TOUGH GIRLS Nail Polish Strips | 20 Stylish Strips | Brighter, Thicker, Tougher | Includes Cuticle Stick, Nail File, & Nail Wipes (Nude)

I have tried other brands of nail polish stickers like incoco and sally, but by far Tough Girls are my hands down favorite! They are the longest lasting and easiest to apply of any other brand. I have stage IV cancer so my nails are not very strong, but these stay on very well and stop my nails from peeling and breakIng, and the fun styles bring me happiness. I would highly recommend Tough Girls!

I've used Jamberry and Incoco nail strips. Jamberry is hard to apply but they kind of stay on. Incoco are the best because they are thin, easy to apply and dry like real nail polish (and they stay on). I had high hopes for Tough Girls. I was hoping it would be a great combination of the two. Not so. They are so thick that it's impossible to trim/file them off the ends of the nails. It took forEVER to apply and within 6 hours, 3 of them had peeled off. By the end of the day, another 2 had peeled off. I think I could use kids' stickers and they might stay longer.

I just put these nail strips on and so far I really like them. First of all, there was lots of selection for size and not only did they fit my wider finger nails but I even had enough left over and they were wide enough to do my toes! I am also loving the fun designs and I am happy that this company is making a go of it.

Hi ladies! After successfully quitting a nail-biting habit before I turned 30, I now take pride in keeping my nails painted. But, I'm currently in graduate school so I don't spend money at a nail salon. Prior to giving nail polish strips a try, I've tried several high-end polish brands and wasn't loyal to any of them. I hoped investing in good polish would be worth the money but I was never satisfied. Plus, I am not gifted at doing hair or makeup and I haven't improved much at painting my own. I always had a smudged nail or flaking/chipping or was left feeling like I wish I could be more creative. I also work with my hands a lot and am generally tough on my nails. Nail polish strips are my new obsession. I hope they will be for you, too!This was the second brand I've tried, the first set was the Dashing Diva brand from Target. I'm a week into wearing them and I am here for my first review. Pros: (1) these strips *are* thicker so your learning curve should be smaller for putting them on (they were easier to apply without making a mistake) (2)This brand comes in so many more colors and designs than Dashing Diva currently does. (3) the pack came with a cuticle stick which many of us don't have and pushing those back is really important for long-term wear. Cons: (1) Because the strips are thicker they catch on surfaces more and peel back more easily (if you use your nails to scrape things like I often catch myself doing), (2) They are a dollar more expensive than Dashing Diva and I'll only get four weeks of wear (two sets) out of the package. Because I keep my nails shorter, I was able to get EIGHT WEEKS OF WEAR out of a package of Dashing Diva (they last four TWO WEEKS, PROMISE! and I was able to split the strips into four sets) For those of us on a budget, this was a cost consideration (3) the fun designs aren't great for splitting the package into two sets because some of the designs might not sit correctly (see my photos). Overall, I wish these sets were a little less expensive but I'll continue to keep buying them because there are designs I can't get in the more affordable, Dashing Diva brand at Target. I want to give them to all my girlfriends because I'm just so impressed with nail strips in general and if you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS I hope you will be, too! If you're used to salon-quality nails, though, these probably aren't going to leave you feeling as put together as I do. Ps, other girls notice and it feels nice to finally have a beauty trick to show off!Update: After several uses, I prefer Dashing Diva to this brand. I think the thickness is a nice idea that doesn’t translate well into actual long lasting wear. It’s also important you cut the strip close to your nail before you file it to shape it. Otherwise, filing off the lengthy strip causes it to stick and unstick in the process. When that happens the nail sticker will fall off much sooner; you’ve damaged the glue by filing extra long excess off.

I liked these strips very much. Easy to apply and I loved the color. Will definitely buy again. Also very reasonably priced!

So I have had an up and down experience with tough girl nail stickers and figured out some tips for use to improve success. I do like this specific product because there are no other nail stickers that I have found that have the classic French design (I have looked at dashing diva, color street, other rip off brands and have not found from cuticles to tip French nail stickers)Some challenges:The nail stickers are thick and with enough pressure, will dent your nails as if you dinged it when they are wet. I fell asleep on my hand amd hair imprints were left on the nails.There are certain products, specifically scented lotions, that will react to the shiny top coat and create a matte look (bed bath and body, all perfume lotions) and leave it kind of stickyPossibly because the top coat had dulled and changed the top coat from lotions, the color of the French yellowed from the sun in 1-2 day of wearSome tips to address those challenges:All of these challenges can be addressed by adding a UV top coat over the top but this also needs to be done in a special way. Here are the steps:1. File nails and push back cuticles. Apply moisturizer to cuticles2. Wash hands and scrub nails with nail brush or a clean toothbrush in a pinch3. Use nail prep pads and apply nails as directed4. Important step-do not get nails wet or use any moisturizer or expose your nails to oils of any kind for 1 hour.5. Apply a Uv top coat after a minimum of one hour, I apply the next day. If this is done before the stickers have time to adhere to the nails, the top coat as it dries will shrink and wrinkle and pull at the stickers. I use the Seche quick dry uv top coat.I have wasted a lot of money and time figuring out the best way to do this, so I hope these tips help some one else from making the same mistakes I made.
