Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Kitty Kitty (Leopard) - 9 Days Later

When I originally applied these I was very paranoid about their staying power. I did put on a coat of Seche Vite to help them last. Well 9 days later I am extremely impressed. There are a few nicks on the tips of my nails, but these have held up far better than pretty much any other polish I've used.

The first few days I've had them on I was really careful not to do anything to cause my nails distress (like picking open boxes at my job). Lately I've been anything but cautious, and while my tips are getting slightly banged up my nails actually feel stronger than when I wear regular polish (my nails are prone to breaking and peeling and these stickers seem to be holding things together). As you can see in the photos, the biggest issue is new nail growth as there is no way to fill these in. I'm sure this can be improved by pushing your cuticles back when applying them, which is something I completely ignored.
