Kiss Nail Dress

Nail Dress on Left
Impress on Right
Kiss Nail Dress are similar to the Sally Hansen product that I have previously reviewed (here).  I recieved the product I tested from Kiss, along with some Impress Nails (previous review here) for free for being a member of Influenster and fitting all the criteria in a VoxBox challenge.

I opened the small package and made sure that I read everything before I started. After filing my nails and using nail polish remover to make sure they were clean of any oils and such I was ready to begin.

 
Bustier is the name of the color/patter that I got. While its not something that I would have picked because its flashy, my 2 1/2 year old loved the final result. In each box is one sealed package that contains 28 stickers. I opened the package and went to work attempting to figure out which strips would fit which nails. The package contained 4 sheets of 7 stickers each. Since they were not individually sealed it was somewhat difficult to figure out which sticker would fit the best.

 Having placed similar nail polish "stickers" before it didn't take very long for me to apply these bad boys. Since they were textured however, it did take a bit longer to file the edges. These "stickers" were also a bit shorter than their competitor's and thus I could not use one sticker for two nails, and thus "wasted" the bits that hung over the edge of the nail and had to be cut off.

When I finished both hands I still had 14 unused “stickers.” Since they were unsealed and would dry out if not used,  I decided I would use them. I used some on the Impress nails that I had also recieved. Even though I would not use all of the fake nails due to sizing issues I used the "stickers" on all of them so as not to be wasteful. (at least when I go to put on the fake nails they will be all decorated now). However, I still had 5 or 6 large pieces left since I didn't fully cover the fake nails.  I put them in a sealed sandwich bag and hope that they might still be useful in the future. If not, well at least they were free.

I somewhat recommend this product. Like its competitor its quick and easy.

Pros: They have larger sizes included that can be used for your toes. One pack will easily do both your fingers and your toes. Since you don't have to use fingernail polish remover to remove these you can take them off without any hassle or much time. They just peel right off. (if your nails are a bit damaged like mine they can take a bit of the nail surface with them when you peel them off though)

Cons: If you aren't doing both your fingers and toes then you will probably be wasting a lot since it's all in one sealed package and not seperate. Also since the stickers are on large sheets instead of individually wrapped its more difficult to determine which size might work the best for each nail.

Sorry that pictures are kinda small.
