NOTD: Manicare Glam Nails - Soho Chic + Small Giveaway!


Browsing my local Target the other day, I noticed these Nail Polish stickers if you will, from Manicare. These particular ones are a pretty black colour with flecks of very fine purple Glitter. Very pretty. In theory they sounded like a great idea, so decided to pick up some. Got them home and tried them out. I gathered from the instructions on the back that they seemed easy enough to apply.

(If you enlarge the pic, you may be able to read the text)

Opened the pack, and immediately the first thing that I noticed out is the smell. You know how normal Nail Polish has that pungent chemical smell to it, well these ones aren't as in your face as normal stuff but more of a subtle chemical type smell which I can't quite put my finger on. Almost like a melted plastic smell.

You get everything you need in the packet to apply the strips, nail file and more detailed instructions on how to apply.


Bascially, you pick the Strip which is closest to your Nail size, peel the backing off and apply, if the strip is too small, you can stretch it a little to make it fit.


Then use the file to file off excess and your done! Easy, right?


As I said, while the idea is great in theory, it is no good for my shaky hands, all I ended up with was a stretched out mess with bubbles underneath. Personally, I prefer to stick to traditional Nail Polish application and I commend Manicare for bringing out something that is different and time saving. I do like the idea that it is essentially pre-dried and all you have to do is stick these babies on.

More information can be found at Manicare.
