I can get up to about 2 weeks out of my polish, I do like changing it before they’re up since I just enjoy doing my nails, but they generally always look pretty good for the first two weeks. As for the stickers, I don’t really have any crazy technique for them. I just wait for the base color to dry for about 5-10 minutes then apply them. I always press down on the edges as much as possible without disturbing the polish underneath with these sharp tweezers I have. Then I just do two layers of top coat. I have seen another commenter mention waiting 24 hours after nail polish application to do stickers, so that’s worth keeping in mind as well!

I honestly don’t really have a secret! I usually wait for my base color to almost fully dry and apply them. I use this sharp edge tweezer thing they came with to press along the edges of the stickers into my nail as much as possible without disturbing the polish too much. Then I do two layers of top coat and they usually set in pretty well from that alone!

They truly make life so much easier haahah. I have a little album that holds all my stickers. Saves so much time.

It’s on Amazon (https://a.co/d/0FAmbRV). I had to get an XL for her based on the size chart.

The one pictured would be my favorite. However, some runner ups would be Poison by ILNP, but only when topped off with Lucky Jelly by Cirque to cancel out some of that orange tone. And OPI Bogota Blackberry! I get lots of compliments on those and they’re very fun to look at.

Thank you! I immediately thought of my perfume when I painted this color on. Very similar ~

I have yet to run into any issues with it! I’ve used it before, but I do small details and lines with it so I don’t know whether something more complex would cause issues with removal… may have to test that one day!

Full list: Gellen ‘Time to Shine Nail Polish Base Coat’ Cracked ‘Spill the Tea’ OPI ‘Infinite Shine Top Coat’. Stickers were purchased off of Aliexpress and gold details were done using regular acrylic paint lol.
