This is the stuff I use to do my nails with! And even clumsy as I am, it comes out great. My nails are short so I do the cut-in-half trick in the tutorial for double the manicure for the money, and I can find Sally Hansen Salon Effects online for half what they cost at Walgreens. I've tried some cheap knock-off brands with weak results, but Nail Fraud is also excellent and comes in a neat black and silver houndstooth.

Coolness! Thanks for sharing! (I type enough and generally work with my hands enough that I don't use nail polish myself, as it just gets annoying for me--- but I love admiring other people's nail art: all the shiny, none of the personal upkeep effort, lol!)

Salon Effects strips (and Nail Fraud even moreso!) hold up better than polish too, so if you ever wanted to get your nails gussied up, it's the stuff. but doing your nails is like any cosmetic, you have to care enough for it to be worth the effort. And I don't wear any cosmetics beyond nail art!

Thanks for the rec! My nails are about the last thing I want to make the effort on (again, see, working with my hands too much) but I do facial-skin care, so it evens out.
