Blulu 576 Pieces French Manicure Nail Stickers Strips, Self Adhesive Nail Sticker Tips for Manicure Decoration DIY Tools (Moon Shape Design, 576 Pieces)

Much easier to do much better than freehand

These are very helpful when doing french tips. I think the adhesion is perfect, not too strong, not too weak. Also, I don't notice any residue left on my nails as mentioned in other reviews. So far, the way I have been using them is to do one hand at a time. First clean and prep my nails, stick these in place. ( I really press them on). If I accidentally place them wrong and need to reposition it, then I usually just discard that one, don't even try to use it again. Once they are all in place, I lightly coat the tips of my nails with PH Bond and let that dry for a few mins. Then do a light base coat on the tips, then cure them for 60 sec in the light. Now do a coat of white gel (or whatever color you want). You can peel off the stickers right away or blow on them for a few mins but don't cure them in the light before removing the stickers. When I peel off the stickers I always peel it upward, toward the polished surface, so I can hopefully avoid smudges. There have been a couple of jagged lines but I just use a small paint brush with acetone to lightly correct that tiny spot. Then cure it for 120 seconds. Then do a full base coat on your entire nail, then cure it for 60 sec. Then do top coat and cure it for 120. Done. It doesn't come out gloriously perfect, but its easy and cheap and that suits me.

I had high hopes for the Blulu 576 Pieces French Manicure Nail Stickers, given the convenience they promised and the generous quantity provided in the pack. Unfortunately, my experience with these stickers was disappointing, and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and hassle-free way to achieve a French manicure.To start, the main issue I encountered was with the stickers adhering to the first coat of nail polish. Even when I allowed my base layer (either clear or nude pink polish) what I thought was sufficient drying time, the stickers often ended up sticking to the polish or smudging it. This was particularly frustrating because French manicures require precision and neatness, and the smudges completely ruined the look I was going for.Additionally, the removal process of the stickers posed another challenge. If I didn’t remove the sticker immediately after painting the tips, it would sometimes stick too tightly to the nail, causing chips or dragging the polish with it. This left an uneven, messy result that was even harder to fix. It felt like I was spending more time repairing the damage than actually doing my nails.I also noticed that the adhesive on the stickers wasn’t strong enough to lay completely flat against the nail. This meant that polish would sometimes seep underneath the edges, leaving an uneven line or bleeding into the base color. For a product designed to create clean and crisp French tips, this was a major letdown.Honestly, the traditional thin nail brush method works far better for me. While it might take a bit more practice and a steadier hand, I found that it gave me far more control and precision compared to using these stickers. I’d much rather spend a little extra time perfecting my strokes with a brush than dealing with the mess and frustration caused by these stickers.Pros I noticed:-The pack comes with 576 pieces, so you won’t run out anytime soon.-The moon shape design is nice in theory and would work well if the product performed better.Cons I noticed:-The stickers stick to the base coat and smudge the polish if it’s not completely dry.-Removal of the stickers can cause chipping or uneven polish.-Adhesive isn’t strong enough to prevent polish from bleeding underneath.-Time-consuming and messy to work with overall.My Final Thoughts About it is as follows:While I appreciate the idea behind the Blulu French Manicure Nail Stickers and the promise of simplifying the French manicure process, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The stickers were more of a hindrance than a help, and I found myself reaching for my trusty thin nail brush to fix the mess they created. If you’re someone who values precision and a clean finish, I’d recommend skipping these altogether and investing in a quality nail art brush instead.I really wanted to love these for their convenience, but the frustration they caused outweighs any potential benefits. Sadly, they ended up being a waste of my time and effort. My advice? Stick to the old-school methods ,you’ll save yourself a lot of hassle!

Work great after a few tries. I used them for a pedicure. Was it perfect? No! But it looked very close to a salon French without paying $80🙄Some tips that worked for me for a French manicure:• put on main base color first and allow to 100% dry! I did my main base color the day before I applied these strips.• have tweezers handy! It helps to easily remove the strip.• when placing the strip on the nail and you have the correct placement of it, smooth the strip on the nail very firmly! Press it hard. This helps the nail polish not to seep through.• when painting the tip, it’s ok to paint on the strip.• when you’re done painting on the tip, remove right away. Don’t allow the nail polish to start drying!• allow the polish to dry completely before putting on top coat..( I made the mistake and put the top coat on only after a few mins and the white nail polish streaked a bit on the nail)Friends couldn’t believe that I did it myself and didn’t go to salon! Hope this was helpful!

The photo explains what other users mean when they say “They are too small.” Not that they didn’t fit my nails, but they were tedious to work with. The other strip in the photo is the Orly brand, the first ones I tried. I was a little fumbly with them the first couple of times. If I had used the Blulu strips first, I probably would have given up. But since I had practiced with the Orly brand, I could make them work. The photo shows my results today with the Blulu strips. It took a while & I had to do a couple nails over. Not so with the Orly strips. Since I’ve practiced a few times, I can get a nice looking French manicure with Orly. Price is about the same, but you get about 3 times as many strips with the Blulu. Not worth it for me.
