Review - OMG Nail Strips Nail Foil Strips

I was kindly sent these from OMGNailstirps for reviews.
I have only tried polish strips from Sally Hansen and I have been feeling kinda lukewarm(?) towards these strip types of nail products since.
That is mainly because I am not very into nail arts myself (although I am a nail polish fanatic and love looking at others' creations) and most of these strips are quite expensive for one time use.

They sent me two different designs of foil strips which are supposedly more durable and shiny compared to the polish strips.
I was interested in trying these since they offer many different cute designs at very affordable price.

OMG Nail Foil Strips

This is the backside with instructions.

Honestly, it is a little confusing for someone like me who is not very used to using nail strips.
I think the overall packaging is rather simple and nice.
No frills no nonsense. ;)

I tried the Pink Zebra Nail Foil Strips first. 

16 strips come in different sizes.

The biggest one is actually huge, you can even use this on your big toes. ;)

Unlike the Sally Hansen strips, you can keep them and use for touch-ups since they don't dry out.

I really like these fashion forward designs and how affordable these are (they are only a little more than $4 a set), but unfortunately I wasn't able to get this work for me very well.

It was difficult for me to smooth out the surfaces evenly.

Thanks to the zebra prints, it is not very obvious in real life and I was surprised to see this still fetched lots of compliments for me. ;p

Another design I've tried is the Red/Gold Floral design.

A bit better but not very satisfactory..

I do like this design that reminds me of a Chinese empire. 

This seems perfect for the holiday season.

I think part of the reason I couldn't get this right is that I have curved shaped nails.

I have seen Pretty Squared's post on the same product and she did a nice job! (She also included a step-by-step tutorial.)

Also, I wish the instruction was easier to understand.

(I have talked to the company and they said they were working on this and would have new instructions for their upcoming products soon.)

I guess nail strips are something you need to practice and perfect the application techniques just like you do with conventional nail polishes.

I wonder if these foil types are less forgiving than the polish strips although I find them more durable and long lasting.

It was quite easy to remove them unlike the polish strips I have tried.

I think it is worth giving these a try if you are fond of fancy nail designs and used to using strips especially since they are very affordable.

I would like to try their polish strips in the future to see if they are easier to work with than the foil strips.
