I've been using these for abt 2 years. Was thrilled I was able to find again, now from HSN online. You just put the dry appliques on your toes (follow easy directions) and that's it. Smooth, even and polished looking. I always put a clear coat on top and this product lasts a long time. No chipping like regular polish. Soon as applique hits your nail, it adheres & dries instantly and any other pieces peel right off the skin around the toe. Just wish HSN had more summery colors.
