20 Best Nail Places Nyc (2024 Update)

My friend recommended these saying they last quite a few days by themselves. I read a few reviews that mentioned added an additional nail glue so I went straight with that. Number one tip is PREP YOUR NAILS. I used my own cuticle pusher not the stick one and then made sure to use the alcohol prep pad before applying. I brushed a VERY thin amount of kiss nail glue onto my nails and then started with my pinky's putting the nail all the way up to my cuticle at a downwards angle so it lined up and then pressed down HARD for a good 10-20 seconds do your thumbs last. The picture is 6 days into my vacation including going into a pool and showering multiple times and they're still on in tact!!! SO IMPRESSED! Follow the instructions and add brush on glue and they workSarah

I loved these nails for the first day or two! The color is great and I love the short almond shape. However these didn’t last as long as the other sets I have bought from Kiss’ imPRESS line. Even though I was careful with them and did all of the prep, they still only lasted about 2 days. Before 48 hours were up, two had already popped off and several more followed in the next couple of days. They also cracked and chipped at the edges when I haven’t had that issue before with other press on nail sets. Maybe I just got an old set or something, but I was disappointed in the quality. Hopefully they will come out with more in this shape though, I would like to give them another try.Cassie

There were pros and cons to these. Pros, they went on easily and quickly. I didn’t have to file them either. Keep in mind you are not using the glue, they are sticky tabs that you pull off and stick on. With that, if your only planning on wearing them for an event this will be perfect. If your wanting to wear them for a couple days I suggest getting brush on glue that will allow extra adhesive. I’m a mom of toddlers and definitely used the glue and was able to get a weeks worth out of them. Also keep in mind, your buying these from a store so they are thinner compared to if you were to go to a salon. That didn’t bother me but it may others. Definitely will be buying more for the holidays! They have cute designs as well.Mel

I’ve always used this brand for their stick-on nails and I’ve never been disappointed in the quality! I put these nails on recently and got two compliments right away about how lovely they were. Are they as good as actual acrylic nails? No, of course not. They’re only $7-8$ versus $50 for acrylics. Naturally you have to take the product and pricing into consideration! These will typically last me a week and a half to two weeks and I work a manual labor job that requires constant use of my hands. I think anyone who is having issues may not be pressing as hard as they need to in order to properly apply the nail, or could be having issues with correct sizing. The sizing is the one down fall I have with this products as my nails are larger and I have to use the biggest size for my thumbs and those only have exactly two. So if I mess up then I basically wasted a pack of nails. Wish they had multiple pairs for ever size, otherwise a solid product with beautiful colors. *note the photo was taken a week after application and they’re still looking decent*Sabrina R

I loved the first box I bought. They stayed on for 10 days through all of daily activities. The second box had sizes missing. I emailed JOAH and you quickly sent me out a replacement box which is great customer service. thanks!! However even though I completely cleaned my nails and used alcohol to prep, they didn't stay on. I lost some the next day and only 1 stayed on for the whole week. It was weird that the second box didn't last and I didn't do anything differently. I want to love them! They are super easy, beautiful and comfortable. I figured I'll give it one more try to see if I just got a box with bad glue or they were old or something.Peggy F.

I have had these nails on for 2-1/2 weeks now. They were easy to put on. I am always washing my hands or dishes (no dishwasher) and these nails have stayed on, not coming loose at all. I have not tried to remove them yet but will do so in about a week because the space between my cuticle and the artificial nail is becoming more evident now. I have another set in the dark blue matte finish waiting in the wings. These nails have not bent or fallen off. You must apply them to very clean, dry nails. I used polish remover and then the alcohol pad, which was included, to make sure my nails were clean and dry. Got many compliments on them. They actually protected my short, stubby real nails and allowed them to actually grow out a bit these last few weeks.Satisfied

I may be late to the OPI Mexico City Collection's Spring 2020 release, but at least I finally found that rad yellow creme! With my pale, pink-toned skin, finding a yellow that is saturated without leaning too dark, pastel, or neon — AND has a 3-coat (or less) formula — is a real challenge. I got my hands on this color after stumbling into an Amazon sale (the "Buy at least $20 worth of these selected items, get $5 off" kind? It was the first time I tried it out!) where a few of the OPI Mexico City colors were included. I had heard about this color for a while, and watched nail polish swatchers on YouTube include it in their side-by-side yellow polish comparisons every season, but I could never find it in-stock at a reasonable shipping rate until that sale. Score! As you can see from my photo, it's a slightly lighter yellow, but it works like a standard yellow on my fair skin when compared to darker shades. It pops in just the right way! Plus, its formula is 3 coats maximum for full opacity, which is hard to achieve with yellow polish at any price point. (Don't you hate it when a color of polish is sold as the brand's "standard primary color," only to find out it takes 4 or 5 streaky coats to achieve that color? So many polish brands do that with yellow and white, even at the salon level. No, thank you!) I've been in in a real yellow mood this summer, so I'm so happy to find a great color that works for me in 3 coats and doesn't chip easily after a few days!elizabeth.o

Did you know that OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark was one of Kim K's favourite nail polishes in 2011? (Totally true, look it up.) I, for one, think it's time we restore it its former glory. Maybe that's because I'm a millennial and obsessed with nostalgia. Maybe it's because it's the perfect vampy shade – dark and deep, but not MySpace-era emo black. We will never know. It's giving chic, it's giving lady (she/he/they) of leisure, it's giving goes with everything. Why are you still reading this? Just buy it.LSDPB

I have been wearing Mod About You since it was first introduced to the OPI line. It is the most gorgeous shade of pink I have ever put on my hands and toes. Every year when spring comes, it's one of the first things I buy (along with my favorite self tanner). It truly makes me happy! It's a beautiful shade that I have never seen duplicated by any other nail polish line. It has a underlying blue-ish base mixed in with the pink and it works so well with my skin tone. I absolutely 💗 it! It's absolutely stunning on tanned skin…Dana 🌸

This is my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador. I have several Deborah Lippmann polishes, mostly in her neutral nudes, reds, and purples. I was drawn to the shade Black Magic Woman because it wasn't a pure black nor charcoal grey creme polish. In the bottle, it looks like a gunmetal grey with silver shimmer. A lovely opaque finish can be achieved in just one coat, and it applies effortlessly, thanks to the wider brush and the quality of the polish. This polish is, as it names suggest, magical! A little goes a long way – in indoor, natural, regular lighting, without flash, one coat of the polish looks like a mid-tone charcoal grey with subtle shimmer; two coats give you a deeper gunmetal grey hue. With either one or two coats, in the right light (as seen with flash from the camera), the polish comes alive and shines. The shimmer is stunning and the sparkle from the polish is prismatic. It is magic, indeed! I have just one disappointment and it is with myself and not the polish – namely, that it took me so long to pick up a bottle. $20 per bottle seems like it might be on the high-end but it's actually less than the price for a bottle from luxury designer brands and the quality here is at a minimum, the same, but with most DL polishes, better. In the case of Black Magic Woman, it is much better, one of DL best polishes, in fact, and well worth the $20. I normally purchase my DL polishes during a sale, but having seen the splendor of Black Magic Woman in person and having worn it for a good week without chipping or fading, if I needed to repurchase this color, I would not hesitate to pay full price for this gorgeous shade. Highly recommend!itsfi

I have this in “wild orchid” which is not an option here. I LOVE this nail polish. It really looks and feels like a gel mani without having to cure it under UV. I only painted my nails last night so I can’t say too much about longevity, but I will say that with regular nail polish I do notice chipping as early as the first night. I haven’t had any chipping or incidents of the polish peeling off so far. My nails look so sleek and shiny, and this nail Polish dries faster than any that I’ve used! I had never used Deborah Lippmann before as I honestly think $20 is kinda ridiculous for nail Polish… but I can say that I’m quite impressed and will be purchasing other colors in moderation.ashley .s

I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador. Rule Breaker is a gorgeous royal purple that looks more sheer and jelly-like than a creme formula. It has tiny rainbow holographic glitters scattered throughout that give a prismatic sheen when the light hits it. This is a beautiful polish – it looks pretty in the bottle but is even more stunning when worn. The wide brush makes application easy peasy; an opaque finish can be had with 2 coats. Dry down on this shade seemed faster than other Deborah Lippmann polishes I’ve used. At $20 regular price, it’s less expensive than luxury and designer brands. Quality is as good if not better. The shade Rule Breaker is spectacularly unique; a gorgeous standout. I’m super pleased I picked up a bottle and have an eye on grabbing a couple more for gifts. It’s a BUY, BUY, BUY for me! Highly recommend! 👍🏼itsfi

This Cool Maker GO GLAM U-nique Nail Salon was the perfect free kids product that allowed my granddaughters and their friends to have so much fun, creating their own manicures and pedicures at my Tryazon spa party, that I hosted for them, recently. So, this at-home kit was easy for them to set up & use, in a group setting or even individually. It has a very cute design that seems to be made well. All of it's accessory components are all as cute yet made durably well! With over 120 different design choices for them to choose from, they all had fingernails & toenails with their own creations that were unique and different! It had almost everything all of girls needed to design up to 250 nails, of any size, including five design pods, two GO GLAM nail polishes, one GO GLAM top coat, one toe separator and an instruction sheet! Keeping these items stored in the pull out drawer helps keep every item together for next use! Okay, so here's a feature that I must bring to your attention because it's that fabulous! This all-in-one nail stamper kit has been designed with a battery operated, (4 AAA batteries not included), built-in nail dryer that's fabulous! I, as an adult, was shocked to see this because of its affordable price point! It works almost like a real nail salon-quality nail dryer I've used, but more adorable, of course! The girls were ecstatic to dry their nails (hands & feet) after they each stamped and styled their own nails or their friends nails. It even features a removable stamper, that my granddaughters and I love to take with, perfect for glam on-the-go! I absolutely recommend this all-in-one nail stamper kit and feel it is a great gift for anyone who loves or even like glamming their nails! It was the perfect activity for our spa event but also for sleepovers, birthdays and more, in my opinion! Even the adults that were at my spa party liked playing with this Cool Maker Go GLAM U-Nique Nail Salon kit!TanyaKirk74

My 4 year old LOVES having her nails painted and the little stickers. Her older sister picked this out for her for Christmas and she was so excited to try it out yesterday. But didn't work at all. We tried letting the nails dry for the 5 minutes it stated in the instructions, we tried letting the nails be more "tacky" and I tried just a minute or two after painting them. We only had ONE be somewhat successful. She was so disappointed. I tried different pressure. But the worst part as that the tape kept getting lose so I had to constantly pull it out to tighten it up, and the cartridges wouldn't come out. It's supposed to just have an "eject" button you press, but the cartridge wouldn't release. I had to really force it to get it out. So the ONLY reason this is even getting 2 stars is because the little fan to dry her nails is cute. But that is not worth the price I paid, even getting it on sale. We are so disappointed. It's a great concept, but awful execution. I could deal with sometimes the stickers not sticking to her nails, but the fact that I can't easily change out the cartridges is ridiculous.AZMommy

We were so excited to be selected to test this product out but it ended up in a huge disappointment. Right from the start, the packaging attracted us. The pink colour of the box and all things sparkly were on the cover along with a large circular dial that displays all the different stamp designs. The box pretty much told us its a full salon on the go and you would not need to purchase anything extra except for the batteries. It comes with the polish/top coat, the dryer, the stamps and even the toe separater. The instructions included pictures and were easy to follow. However, when we started, it was disappointment after disappointment. First, there's only 2 colours (pink and purple) and a top coat- ideally at least 4 colours would be great. After putting on our polish, we tried using the dryer. The fan from the dryer was so weak that I think blowing it dry by flapping my hands would have been a lot faster. Kids don't have much patience. You are supposed to be able to look through a lens that allows you to select the design that you want before applying. The lens was all scratched up and made the design look blurry. The biggest problem was the stamp. You're supposed to be able to insert your finger and just press down quickly and voila, you should have a pretty design on your nail (it's pretty much a sticker). I'm not sure if the tape that we had was old or it was dried out but no matter how many times we tried to apply the stamp, nothing would stick to our nails. We tried with a dried nail, semi-dried nail, fingers and toes and nothing worked. The best I could do was use my own nail polish and I managed to get a partial print. The finished product looked cheap and crappy. After numerous attempts, we just gave up. The product has so much potential and if some of the problems can be fixed, I would definitely purchase it if it ends up on the market. The instructions manual also shows that you can purchase a refill pack for additional colours and designs.Kolya88

Disclaimer: I received this product as part of a "mission" from Topbox Circle. However, the opinions in this review are my own. #freeproduct #trywithtopbox #ad #freesample First impression(s): The colour of the polish was slightly different than the pinkish taupe on the website – the polish was more of a purplish taupe with luxurious pearly tones. The polish had a strong smell. This smell (after painting my nails) would eventually disappear in a couple of days. Experience using it: I painted the nails on both hands, using neither a base nor top coat – two thin coats on my left hand, and two thick coats on my right hand. The bristles of the brush fanned out readily, covering my whole nail (and more, for smaller nails) in one fell swoop. Thinner coats dried fairly quickly, while thick coats took forever (45 mins!) to dry. After drying, my left hand had semi-sheer paint (this made the colour look like the pinkish taupe on the website), while my right hand had opaque paint (purplish taupe). The polish was glossy enough to make me skip putting a top coat. The polish lasted for over a week, but the polish on the sides of my nails chipped away within 3-4 days of applying the polish. That said, this only happened to the nails of fingers I use the most; the polish on my ring fingers and pinkies remained completely intact (I'm still waiting for them to show signs of wear). Even while chipping/wearing away, the polish remained perfectly smooth and pearly on my nails. I'm sure that, if I did a better job of applying the polish and used a top coat, the polish would easily last much longer.April

#freeproduct #trywithtopbox. I have always love Essie Nail Polish and was so happy when I was chosen to try its product. Although I love Essie Nail Polish, I will give an honest review for this product. The colour that I got was Jewels and Jacquard. The outcome of the colour is actually prettier than I thought but it is not a colour that I would personally pay for. I prefer colours that my outfit can easily match. I love the brush the Essie gel couture nail polish has; It makes it very easy for me to apply. The Essie gel couture nail polish also dries in no time. If it were not for this colour, I would say that I totally love this Essie gel couture nail polish. Even though the Essie gel couture nail polish is priced on the high end, I cannot wait to try the other colours available.Bella

I received this as a #freeproduct from Top Box to review. I have used this nail polish before and its a great polish to use. It lasts a lot longer than other nail polish brands, so you're not always having to redo your nails. Normally I wouldn't use such a light color, I prefer brighter more bold colors, but this pink was pretty on my finger nails. I do recommend using a primer color under this pink (Gossamer Garments) unless you like the sheerness of light pink. This was a cute color for my toe nails. I did find the brush to be a little big for my nail bed, which would leave a little polish on the side of my toe, but nothing a q-tip and remover can't fix! This nail polish dries quicker than most other brands as well! Overall I love Essie Nail Polish and will continue to purchase their line, I would recommend this brand to friends or family!Jennifer

Some background on me: I like the idea of manicures, but I haven't had a professional one in years. I hate that they mess around so much with my cuticles. I hate the smell. I hate that gels need to be soaked and scratched off. I have SUPER fast growing and hard fingernails, so even a gel manicure is too grown out at about 10 days. A regular manicure chips off in literally a second.. not even worth the time to apply. I got a competitors product in a subscription box (3x the price, "custom" fit nails). When I heard you could peel them off like a sticker, but there were durable as gels, I was intrigued. I tried those and loved that they applied easily and did last for about 10 days (those broke down at day 10 because my nail growth was getting too long). When it was time to remove, they did easily peel off, though those left a gunky glue on my nails that I had to remove with polish. The other brand was also almost too short to cover my whole nail, so when I wanted to try it again I looked for another brand. When I saw the price on these, I was not expecting much. I loved these. Since then I have used them every week for 5 weeks and I have stocked up on a wardrobe of them.. seriously about 30 packs.. to keep up my mani for the rest of the year. Here's what I've learned: – These are not as durable as the pricier brand. The edge will start to peel up on my two pointer fingers around day 5.. they last from Sunday night to Saturday morning. Then I take them off, file and condition my nails, then apply again on Sunday night. – These peel off PERFECTLY.. no gunk or residue. – It is SUPER important to apply with no wrinkles. The wrinkles will not "flatten out" – instead the color will peel off, looking chipped, and it will really shorten the life of the manicure as the edges start to detach. Apply carefully, and use something to press (hard) and smooth all edges. You'll get better with practice, and it will keep the stickers lasting at least a week+Boss Lady

I appreciated the relative ease of application. You find a sticker that is closest to nail size, opting for slightly smaller if you’re in between. Then you place it and pull it taut over the top of your nail, using the provided file to remove the excess. And that’s about it. The first time I did this, it took a while to get used to it but everything applied flat. The second time, it was a lot faster but I got some wrinkles. Make sure your nails are totally clean when you apply it. I love that they don’t chip, regardless of the design. They last longer than two weeks, the only downside being the growth you see due to time. Removal is pretty easy. You can soak your nails in water and start to peel them off easily. I’ve also peeled without soaking but don’t recommend that. I took one star off because of what happens to my nails after I use this. It really dries out the surface of my nails and leaves a white cast. I even have a chip across the surface of my nails, which was really bad. I think I would still use this for a special occasion, but it is brutal when you’re done so you need aftercare.mary anne.m

I'm comparing Dashing Diva to the Color Street nail strips I typically use – but to be fair they're not really the same thing. DD nail strips are not real nail polish, and they're basically nail stickers. Here's my takeaway: Pros- Last longer than CS because they're not actual nail polish. A big issue I have with CS is that the polish tends to chip and crack after the first few days of wear. Not the case with DD. Easy to remove, no acetone necessary. Convenient to buy since they're sold in stores. Cons- Because they're not real polish, you can't put a bigger size nail strip on your nail. You have to size down so their may be gaps between your nail and the strip unless you happen to have the perfect size cuticle for the DD nail strips. A bit tricky to apply in that once the strip creases there's no fixing it. There's more flexibility in the CS nail strips, so if you crease those you can lift and reapply with no visible crease. Not the case with DD, so I was just extra careful. I had a bit of creasing on the tips of one nail, but I think I need to be more careful when filing and make sure to only file down- not side to side. We'll see if that helps the next time I try these. Overall good for the price, and I'll definitely grab another pack in a different color.AP

I received Essie Smooth-E basecoat as a #freeproduct to try for my honest review from #topboxcircle #trytopbox. I had never heard of this basecoat so I was intrigued as it stated it was a ridge filler and would give my nails a smooth finish to apply polish. I use a lot of dark colours especially blue that has a tendency to stain my nails. I did find that with the initial application it gave my nails a matte finish with an almost grippy feel and then I applied my Essie polish in a nice deep blue. It did dry quickly before I applied the polish. I have had the blue nail polish on for a few days and did find my nails chipped almost the next day so that was a little disappointing. The finish was nice and clean looking like a mani should be. I am not overly impressed though. I feel that there are better products on the market.CeeZee39

I absolutely love the entire Essie line, they always have high quality products. It’s my go to for my mani/pedis. The only issues I’ve come across is that my nail polish never lasted a week. It would constantly chip off, but since trying out this base coat that Essie brilliantly thought of, I no longer have that issue. Since using this, now my nail polish says on for a week before it starts to chip. I’m extremely pleased and happy with this product. It provides you with the best quality manicures and pedicures. I highly recommend it!Maclover

Initially I was a bit skeptical about this product claiming to smooth the ridges in my nails. I recently had acrylic nails taken off and the removal process wrecked havoc on my nails. The surface of my nails were uneven and they were peeling. When I applied the base coat, I noticed that it filled in the weak spots in my nails. When I applied the nail polish on top, my nails felt so smooth. You would not be able to tell that my nails were damaged. I run my fingers on the nail surface and it’s like the ridges and dips in my finger nails disappeared. My nails feel so much better after my mini manicure.van52

It was such an easy product to use! Simple application and its difficult to make mistakes. I’ve never had dip done or seen it done. I looked up a few videos on YouTube and just read the instructions. It was so easy and my results were fantastic! It also didn’t stink at all. Like when you get real close you can smell it but it will not stink up your room. My only note would be to have some kind of brush on hand for the excess powder. They provide a sponge in the kit but it doesn’t work very well for the nooks and crannies.KTraver

I have been getting dip nails done at the salon for about a year now and I love the strength that it gives to my otherwise very brittle nails, so I was excited to try this out at home. The instructions were very easy to following and I like that it gives you two extra brushes just in case there is user error along the way. Only different I noticed from the salon dip nails I usually get was how they wore. The top coat started to crack on a few of the nails after about 2-3 days, but I am pretty hard on my hands. I'm honestly glad that it happened though because I was so curious about how they would come off. Removal was a breeze, minimal soaking to take off. Which made it simple to fix the ones that had cracked slightly. Overall getting your nails done at a salon gets pretty expensive and if you are looking for a more affordable option, this is perfect.Shelly

I was able to easily follow the directions. The results for my first try were pretty good! It would have been even better if I had used the stick to clean up my cuticles. It’s pretty darn close to a salon quality gel manicure. I am on day 5 and they are still absolutely perfect. No chipping or splitting. The color is a perfect pale pink that I could never achieve with just a polish. Would be see through and streaky! The only thing I do not like is how potent the chemical smell is – it gave me a headache. I’d like to see more kits with different colors. I’m definitely a fan!Elle

I purchased the NailTek Nail Recovery Kit after my nails were slightly damaged from using gel nail polish. I used this product for a few weeks and my nails got weaker and more brittle. I could not grow my nails at all and they would break while so short that they hurt. I stopped using this product and switched to Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails Strengthener. My nails are finally growing and looking much healthier. I would not spend the money on this product.Tina

I got this in a whim. My nails have been all ridged and flaking ever since the pandemic started. The hand sanitizer and not getting acrylics anymore combined with age and they just look d awful, it sucked. Polish doesn't last and I tried other similar products that peeled or flakes much more easily. I am a hair dresser snd pretty rough with my hands so it does peel off occasionally but I am super impressed with this product's durability! The main thing I noticed right away is that over the years my nails had become flatter and wider, this product seems to have encouraged them back to their proper arched shape and they are much easier to shape the same same now.Betsy

I loved this product. Tbh I have completely ran out cause I used it almost every other day. A little story here so be warned: For 20 years I have struggled with anxiety, well with that I had a nervous habit of picking at my nails till they were in the quick. I’ll attach a picture along with results. I found this product through my mom (a nail technician) plus vegan pure multivitamin nail hardener (also at Walmart) I started using these products every other day. And give or take 2 months in my nails are have grown so long. The longest I’ve ever had to the point if I paint them they almost look like acrylics! 1rst photo is before, 2nd photo is after ❤️Cameron

I have used other products from this brand and have been very disappointed. This one has left me very surprised. I've only used it twice so far, and it seems to work great. Can I say that I've seen growth within 3 days? Honestly, I can't really tell. However, I have noticed a definite change in my nail strength. I work a lot with my hands when I make costumes and clothing, and my nails tend to break, chip and crack. Since I started using this, my nails seem stronger. I only gave this product 4 stars because I haven't been using it for very long, so I can't say if it really lives up to the hype. But I can say that I have been very surprised within the small amount of time I have been using it, and plan to keep using it. I have a feeling I will continue to be surprised.Amy

Not for nail growth, but stops nail peeling/brittle nails. Also great as a top and base coat! Ok so I’ve been trying this for 3 months and I haven’t seen any noticeable difference in nail growth rate. However! I have very brittle nails that break and peel if they get long so I’ve always been on the lookout for something that helps and this works wonders! I keep getting compliments on my nails and how I can actually grow them now. I followed the directions for use as applying 2 coats every 3 days and I haven’t had any problems with peeling or my nails breaking when they get longer. I would suggest also painting underneath the nail tip to strengthen both sides. I would recommend for people with brittle nails, but don’t expect faster nail growth. I’d suggest taking biotin gummies!mimi.k

I have struggled with brittle and super short nails my entire life. I always love how my hands look with even just a simple set of nails on and rarely go without them on. I have found that Kiss makes the absolute best glue on nails for hands and toes! I am thrilled they finally have matching mani/pedi colors so that I can really get the salon look and quality for such a low price! Please make more color sets and even matching designs for beauty nights at home!!Abby L.

These are fun nails with a large variety of colors. They were easy to apply and even shape if need be. They won’t last you all week but they’re perfect for a night out or a weekend get away. Quick and and easy to use instead of going to the nail salon and sitting for 2 hours . Also the nails were easy to remove without damaging my nails. My favorite part was having the option to use the adhesive tabs or the glue . Tabs for a night out or flue if I want to wear for several days! This something I’ll keep On hand to have for a last minute night out!Candice

To be honest, I had no idea these nails would be this good. I used to think that KISS only made long-style nails, but now finding out that they have short nails, I have completely fallen in love with them! Their very realistic, near the regular size of my real nails so they're very comfortable, while still remaining professional for work, and classy for a night out. The glue holds really well, and the nail quality is fantastic, especially since they're at such an affordable price.Vanessa

The color for the nails were really pretty and it fit my nail bed just nice! Even though it says short length, it was not short. I had to trim and file it to a shorter length. It is perfect if you'd like a 2 hour nail job because the stickers don't stick well at all, and my nails fell out within the day. I definitely suggest using the glue instead. Fortunately this set set came with both the glue and the stickers. Avoid those with only the stickers!S

I’ve learned to do my nails on my own because I find salon prices obscene. I’ve tried so many different brands and this is the one I keep coming back to. The never chip and will hold on for 10 days or longer, I’ve had mine on for almost 2 weeks now and I’m changing it just cause I’m bored with the design already, and because my nails are growing so you could kinda see a gap but only if you’re OC with that kind of thing like I am. The key lies in prepping your nails, make sure you clip, file and buff them before hand before pressing the nails on top, and don’t get them wet for an hour or two after. I find people who leave the bad reviews didn’t do the work which is all but 15mins, just saying. Follow this and they will last forever. Medium length works best for me cause I type a lot, plus do the dishes, clean, etc and long nails are hard to work with but that’s up to you. For less than $10 you get stylish, dependable nails. Totally recommend.Aljywaljy

This nail strengthener has done the unthinkable: salvaged my thin, peeling, damaged nails that I was on the brink of accepting would be stubby forever. I was caught in a cycle of chewing them in times of stress, getting acrylics to cover up the issue, removing them and starting all over. My nails were put through the ringer. I honestly am not sure how I finally stopped biting them, as I’ve been trying for years. However, a combo of at home manicures and a daily coat of this stuff has them looking spectacular. It dries super fast and leaves a clear glossy finish. Yep, I will even go so far as to add a very embarrassing before photo, just so you get the idea.liv.p

My nails have always been filled with ridges and discoloration and peeling off. (I don’t help the matter with peeling myself) but as I age it gets even worse . I always use this before I put on my nail concealer to try and fill the ridges and give my nails some more strength. It’s something I like to do on Sunday’s to give myself a little bit of meditation time. However it stiiiiinks so don’t do it in your room just like I did it’s like huffing gluekatie.m

My goodness, what this has done for my nails is unreal! As soon as we went in “lockdown” mode, I needed my Dip mani ASAP. I bought the @home kit by Kiss and it lasted about a week…if you’ve done dip for a while you know that when you stop, your bare nails are LONGGGGGGG but brittle…at least mine were paper thin and literally broke anytime I passed my fingers through my hair. 😩😩 I had bought this nail repair polish a while ago and decided that now was the best time to try it. I have been applying it every other day, consistently over 6-7 weeks and my nails are STRONG, and much longer than when I clipped my nails. I file them slightly 1x a week just to avoid them from breaking. Not sure if I’ll go back to dip after finally getting my nails to a healthy state but I HIGHLY recommend this nail repair polish! This #4 is for the most brittle and weak nails. (I have horrible quality pics but you can see the progress)maria.l

Do you like this color?? I love it! It's an eggshell…looks like I got them professionally done. I always get compliments on my nails. Today I'm wearing short nails..in this eggshell/off white color. They are thick, not thin..so they last longer. I glue mine on and always keep a extra glue in my purse. I think these nails are so cute!! Love these!!!darlene.s

Great product for the money! I have tried other Kiss (as well as other brand) nail products before, and these are the best so far. They really are thicker, more like a salon acrylic. They have stayed secure and lasted longer so far as well. I planned to paint them, but they looked fine natural! As others have mentioned, in order to not get glue bubbles, you have to apply the glue to BOTH your real nail and the fake nail. I actually have gotten many compliments on these. My only complaint is that I wish the glue was easier to get out of the tube, but it's a $5ish product, and gets the job done!laurica

I purchased this product back in February and wanted to try it before writing this review. The Nonyx Gel has nearly cleared the problem and the nail is returning to its original pink color. The results are amazing. I recommend this product 100 percent. Just keep using it daily and give it time to work.Gary

People need to read the box before trying this. It softens the fungal debris so it can be removed, taking away the food supply for the fungus but it takes time. The key is to get it under the nail as far as possible and then periodically clean out the softened gunk underneath. If you don’t do this it won’t work. So if you want instant gratification then neither this nor any anti fungal will make you happy. But if you follow instructions it will work over time, quicker for some, slower for others depending on the degree of fungal infection. If you’ve let your feet go for awhile it will take longer. So the secret is to be patient. Tip: also put some gel on the pad of a band aid and then wear it wrapped around the nail. Change daily. Will slightly accelerate process.John

I have used Nonyx for the last month or so after trying many different things to combat toenail fungus. None seemed to have much effect but since Nonyx my nails are a lot whiter and growing out looking better. I have several that have been thickened for quite some time and they are still thick, but by keeping them closely trimmed and cleaned out under the nail and apply Nonyx twice a day I can see some improvement. Does not happen overnight but over time I think they are showing improvement. I would suggest that a brush of some kind be included with the Nonyx as I have had to use one I had for another toe nail product to adequately push the product up under the toenails as far as I can. My only concern is that I have read that Nonyx does not get to the real problem – the fungus – but helps with appearance which it does. But we also need something to complete the project and cure the fungus as well.FRANCES K.

There was not anything I did not like about this product. It covered nicely without being chalky or thick. It was quite effective in covering ridges in my nail. It stayed on for a good amount of time and I could give my nails multiple coats without becoming gummy or sticky. The price point was a little higher but the product was worth the extra bucks.jaye.r

A little pricey but honestly so good. As soon as I dipped the brush I knew it was going to be good. It went on so smooth and so perfectly neat. I have the most unbelievably weak nails and am so vitamin deficient that my nails never grow well. I have managed to get them all a similar length so wanted something to keep them a little protected until I am confident enough to go to a salon for a proper manicure. I looked at a couple of options and went for the OPI because it has a solid reputation. So glad I didn't cheap out. It's a great buy.rose.s

Base coat and top coat are very particular things. There definitely seems to be chemistry involved, that is, your chemistry and how it works with the product. Just as some colours will look good on you and others won't, base coats can be really tricky. This ridge filler (let's face it, it's also a base coat) and I don't have great chemistry. It's kind of okay, but it's mostly just meh. It doesn't seem to help the ridges especially (my ridges are not terribly pronounced), and it tends to be quite sticky, even after it supposedly dries. I also find that it makes the polish take longer to dry, even when using quick-dry drops or quick-dry top coat. I'm sure this works great for some people, but for me, not so much, sadly. Definitely will not repurchase.kittenmint

i cant say enough good things about opi. i use so many of their products. this product is a 3 in 1. it works as a base coat, a top coat, and a strengthening formula. it’s clear, but it looks so good on the nail. it’s strengthens my nails really well. and it’s easy to apply other coats to it if you want. or stickers. would definitely recommend!jennifer.f

Sorry but, I'm not as generous with the stars on this as everyone else. Yes, it does go on matte as many others have said, but should it get 3 stars just because it's only able to do that?! A top coat isn't just for looks/aesthetics but also function, it's supposed to protect the color and aide in lasting/durability. I've painted my nails since I was a child and I'm in my early 30's so I've used a fair amount of brands and colors, never have I ever seen a top coat lift color from a dried nail; I thought the issue was that I used a black of a different brand so maybe it was the mismatch, so I went and bought an OPI black and it did the same thing. Even more, it doesn't matter how long you let it dry the first day you practically can't do much because it will smudge or lift in someway, even if you touch it and it seems dry…so this isn't something that you can do when pressed for time. Then, another weird thing about this top coat, is the fact that it doesn't really chip off, but rather, it rubs off or even washes off. Overall, this is a huge miss and major disappointment given that it's OPI! I'm harsh in my review because it's OPI and we have come to expect a certain level from them which is why many of us are willing to pay more for it; however, this performs worse than the old wet n wild polishes, Revlon, or those little bottles of polishes that were super cheap (can't remember name). Basically, this isn't something I will purchase again from them and I am highly suggesting to anyone reading the reviews prior to buying to look elsewhere this isn't worth it, trust me.Not impressed OPI fan

I appreciated the relative ease of application. You find a sticker that is closest to nail size, opting for slightly smaller if you’re in between. Then you place it and pull it taut over the top of your nail, using the provided file to remove the excess. And that’s about it. The first time I did this, it took a while to get used to it but everything applied flat. The second time, it was a lot faster but I got some wrinkles. Make sure your nails are totally clean when you apply it. I love that they don’t chip, regardless of the design. They last longer than two weeks, the only downside being the growth you see due to time. Removal is pretty easy. You can soak your nails in water and start to peel them off easily. I’ve also peeled without soaking but don’t recommend that. I took one star off because of what happens to my nails after I use this. It really dries out the surface of my nails and leaves a white cast. I even have a chip across the surface of my nails, which was really bad. I think I would still use this for a special occasion, but it is brutal when you’re done so you need aftercare.mary anne.m

I absolutely love in "A New Leaf" . They give you a beautiful, instant, manicure that lasts up to 14 days (but I've had them last longer!). They're made with real gel, so it looks like you went out and spent $40+ on getting your nails done. You get 32 gel nail strips in the pack, so there are multiple sizes to choose from and there's something to fit every nail size. It comes with 3 different patterns in the package so you can really be creative with your nails. All you have to do is prep your nails with the prep pad (alcohol pad), select the proper size, peel off the back, apply the nail, and finally, file off the excess. It literally couldn't be any easier, and takes less than half an hour to do a really good job. I absolutely love this pattern for Spring, and I can't believe how good my nails look when I'm finished. They give you salon gel effects, with no UV dry time. There's no soak-off removal required, and they have a chip-resistant shine. If you want a great manicure that doesn't cost a lot, or if you want an awesome manicure you can do at home, I definitely recommend trying Dashing Diva Gloss Ultra Shine Gel Palette. I am 100% going to keep using these nails in the future.ashley.h

Amazing product that prevents me from nail biting and polish-picking!! Pictured on my nails: Polar Express (after 1 week) I came across these when I was scrolling through Instagram and knew I just had to try them. It did take me a couple tries to get used to applying them correctly. BUT after applying/changing them every 1.5 – 2 weeks for about 2 months, I’m able to get my full manicure done in under 30 minutes. These can definitely last longer than 14 days, but I like to change them out when my natural nail starts to show a lot at the base due to growth. To make them last longer, I use the and Essie Gel Couture Top Coat to really seal in the nail strip. If the strip is too narrow (usually its the thumb strip for me), I warm up the strip a bit with my fingers and slowly stretch it out so it fits better. I used to bite my nails and pick at my nail polish so much. Not to mention regular nail polish chips so quickly because I’m washing my hands and cleaning so frequently nowadays. With these nail strips, I am discouraged from biting/picking at my nails because the designs are just so cute! and I love love LOVE that they don’t chip or peel easily. I rave about these so much and get so many compliments while I’m out and about! Highly recommend shopping directly from Dashing Diva’s site because they frequently have offers and discount codes.danielle.d

I absolutely hate waiting for polish to dry. We all got stuff ta to you know? What's worse is waking up realizing that you've somehow smeared your polish that should have dried hours ago in your sleep. Can anyone relate? Well that was not happen with this polish. It dries so quickly that unless you're just not paying attention you can't mess it up. It goes on well too, as well as any polish I've tried and I don't buy the cheap stuff. Here's the cons. It chips easily if you do not wear gloves when doing work around the house or if you have to wash your hands a lot. It's also hard to remove. I scrub and scrub and the three kinds I have with shimmer in them, the glitter wants to hang on no matter what. Then there's the health of my nails. I'm pretty sure that this polish has made my nails peel at the tips so it's probably drying my nails. Ok so if you need a quick manicure this is the polish for you. If you hate waiting or just don't have time to wait this is the polish for you. I would recommended trying a base coat, which I am going to try soon, to see if it helps the issues I've mentioned.Brynn

This is some of the best nail polish I've tried, and I do home manis every week. The colors are on point, more unique than other brands which is one thing I love about this brand. This formula dries smooth and clear, and lasts. I wash my hands a lot and polish only lasts 2-3 days before I need a touch up, but it's easy to touch up and color blends smoothly. Best of all, it does dry quickly which is a huge selling point for me because I tend to paint my nails before bed while winding down and watching TV, and never seem to leave enough time for them to dry before I'm ready for bed! Two thin coats of this polish dry completely for me in 10-15 minutes. I love Essie! It's my favorite brand of polish by far.amy

🎵 It's just another #maniMonday🎵 Actually it's my first manicure Monday!! Thank you @essie and @Topbox for sending me Expressie in shade #145 , Bearer of Rad News- so fun for summer!! This was my first time trying Essie and I am extremely impressed. It's quick dry in about a minute meaning I can do right before bed and it's not wrecked in the morning. I was also impressed with my application because normally I 'colour outside the lines' lol. But it wasn't me- it's their first ever angled brush that makes applying with your non-dominant hand a breeze. It also has amazing staying power- one coat lasted over 10 days. This vegan formula is made without formaldehyde, toluene and a bunch of other chemicals or animal derived ingredients. My only very small complaint is that you need 2-3 coats or you can see through to your nails but since it's quick dry, it's not really a big deal. New Essie fan here!! **received in exchange for my honest opinionSomialoves
