A friend of mine receive a package of these to review for We Heart This, and gave me a sheet to test out, since she knows how much I love nail art! I was given a sheet of the "Stars" set, and was a little disappointed. I love stars, especially as nail art, but didn't think these were that cute. The Sea, Mod, and Garden sets that I looked at online were super cute though. I do like the price, twelv...read moree bucks for 86 stickers seems pretty reasonable, although some of the tattoos are rather small, and would look best paired with other tattoos (like bigRuby has examples of on their facebook page where a couple of stickers were put on EACH nail, and it looked really artsy). This kind of cuts down on how much of a bargain these are. I tried these out on my fingers and toes on top of Illamasqua base coat, OPI and Maybelline nail polish. I followed the directions--which basically tell you to apply them to your nails like you do with temporary tattoos that go on your skin (you know, the kind that you used to find in a cereal box, or in a case of Barq's rootbeer). The designs were small and the tattoo fairly delicate, but easy enough to smooth out if you happen to wrinkle it during application. I liked that these laid flat against my nails, unlike some nail stickers that have a raised texture and don't seem to adhere fully. I applied two coats of Seche Vite quick dry topcoat, which is my favorite for adding shine, drying quickly, and sealing polish onto my nails. The stickers were a little translucent, and I would prefer that they were more opaque. Also, unfortunately, within a matter of hours one of the nail stickers had come completely off--scraped off I guess? By the next day, another two had been scraped half/completely off. I picked at what was left on my nails, and they just came right off. The lasting power of these isn't good. Unless you plan on doing your nails EVERY DAY, I'd give these a pass.
