Review - Kiss Nail Dress Strips in KDS09

I love Sally Hansen's nail polish strips. They're pricy but a nice little treat that costs less than a mani, and they're reasonably easy to apply at home. Occasionally they're in sale, so while they're not something I can afford to use all the time, they're a good reasonably priced option for a fancy set of nails for a special occasion. 

I bought the Kiss Nail Dress strips thinking they were practically identical. They're about the same price wise ($8 ish) and looked the same in the box, but these came with more size options per box than the Sally Hansen ones. 

But I was sooo wrong about them being anything alike.  These are more like plasticky stickers. It was difficult to get them to apply without wrinkling. Filing off the free edge was difficult and left the edges a little scratchy and raggedy. The design was super cute and shiny so it looked decent enough... Until the next day. Within 24 hours there was pretty bad tip wear. And the wrinkles were driving me up the wall. So I removed them by peeling them off, as per the directions. It was easy enough except that it left a thick sticky film that I had to use acetone to remove. 

I'd say avoid these. I wouldn't even use them if I received another set for free.

I want to try some of these for my toes (I get my fingernails done because my natural nails are terrible) but I'll be sure to steer clear of the Kiss ones. Thanks for saving me the trouble! :)

You're very welcome! I'm also going to avoid any nail stickers that say you can just peel them off to remove. The Sally Hansen ones are thin sheets of actual nail polish, so you need nail polish remover to get them off.
