FLBoop says "These are great!" about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

FLBoop — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 01:21:54 GMT

The Avon dry Nail Enamel strips are great! They come in several colors tha coordinate with just about anything.

They are a little hard to apply though, might need some help with them. The ones for the toenails were easier to apply by yourslef, but when I tried doing the fingernails I felt like I needed an extra hand!

I love the ones for the toenails.

Unfortunately, they are not available anymore.

hershey78 says "nail strips may be a quick fixer, but do they really work?" about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

I think that these nail strips can be very easy to use, and obviously there's not really a way for them to be messy, but i don't think they are worth anything. When i used them, i did exactly what the instructions said and didn't miss a step, but the end result was horrible. they did not stay on for more Than 5 minutes. I was so disappointed, the around $ 7.00, nail polish that Avon offers takes a little longer to do, but would end up being the better thing if what your looking for is something that will last longer that 5 minutes, and not look like you just put stickers on your nails....

Ok,I really don't like this iteam if I wanted to work this hard I would go to school for nails.. Its not that easy to put on with one hand and you really need to put them on right or they will not stay on,plus they don't last that long.. Am better off paying someone to do my nails.....

psrobert69 says "Enamel Strips last longer than bottled polish on my soft nails." about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

My nails are very soft and flexible, so when I wear traditional polish, it cracks whenever my nails bend. Avon's Dry Enamel Strips have enough give that they bend with my nails. They lasts for a week or more whereas bottled polished cracks and chips the next day.

AvonBeckyC says "longest-lasting polish I ever tried" about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

AvonBeckyC — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:58:03 GMT

I sell Avon also (19 yrs :) I spent time getting the hang of applying these. I sold many of them. To each of my customers who took the time to follow my directions and the tips I used when practicing, they had a great experience with them. To the one customer who returned them, she was not interested in having me demonstrate application, not did she want to hear my tips.
I have had many return buyers - a few did not re-purchase only because of the limited line of colors.

I absolutely love this product. It is the longest-lasting polish I have ever used. Even the '10-day guarantee' polish would start to chip in about 4-6 days. I could put this polish on, and immediately go out into the garden, the shower, wash the car, etc. I find it did hold up better if you did wait at least a while (maybe an hour or 2) before getting it wet :) Most of it last so long, the only reason I removed to apply a new set is because my nails grew out and I had an un-manicured strip about 1/4"...

jdub says "Love Avon Nail Polish Strips!" about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

jdub — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:35:53 GMT

I absolutely love the Avon Nail Polish Strips. I especially like to use them on my toes. They don't rub off when I'm wearing shoes, and they look like a new manicure for longer than a real manicure.

I also have a friend who wears them, and she said she put them on in the car on the way to a formal event. You can't get much more convenient than that.

I recommend them to everyone I know.
I've been using them for over a year, and I think I only mishandled one, which then stuck to itself.

jonquil says "Way cheaper than a professional manicure and looks perfect!" about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

jonquil — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:28:29 GMT

This is the best product on the market to do your nails. I use the french manicure kind. The first time I used them, it was strange because I thought for sure they would fall off. They didn't and lasted for more than 2 weeks. They do take time to put on, but you don't have to wait for them to dry. I would rather spend an hour putting them on than wait several hours for the liquid kind to totally dry. I bought a manicure kit for about 30 dollars to shape my nails and I just keep buying these from my friend. No one ever believes that I do my nails myself. They always look like I just got them done for $40 every 2 weeks. Yes it is more expensive than a bottle of nail polish, but it does look way better and lasts much longer. The lines are straight and perfect and beautiful. I love this product and recommend it to anyone who wants to do their nails in an affordable, professional way....

kash1015 says "The best "nail polish" I've ever used!" about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

kash1015 — Sun, 18 May 2008 11:18:35 GMT

Avon's Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips are a terrific alternative to nail polish. I get tips put on my nails, professionally, but never stay for the polish, because I don't have time. Instead, I go home and use the Nail Enamel Strips. Usually, I use the French Manicure Strips. The nail techs have told me that they could not have done any better!

The best part is that they take less time to put on than nail polish and they dry instantly!

TaraLee says "Healthier than Lee Press on nails, but that is not saying much" about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

TaraLee — Sat, 17 May 2008 02:33:39 GMT

When I was in high school I used to paint my nails every day, at night after doing my homework. I would paint to match my outfits and makeup, and only when really pressed would I wear the same color scheme two days in a row.

I have no problem painting my nails, I can paint my nails and put on pantyhose with wet nails. However, with a puppy it is a little hard to ignore his needs to let my nails dry. When I saw these (on sale) I thought perfect, just what I needed.

As a veteran nail painter I have used Lee press on nails once or twice, and they always fit my nails perfectly. That lead me to believe that I had the one size in the one size fits all nails department. Apparently Avon and Lee see fingernails differently.

These were too wide for my nails, hard to trim, and hard to put on. There isn't any glue involved, and based on that they are better than fake nails, but since I could not get them on, I can not comment on durability.

I think if you are going to splurge on products for...

dnsage says "Not worth it" about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

dnsage — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 18:03:55 GMT

I bought this thinking what a wonderful idea. What a waste of money! To hard to get on right and the instructions really were not worth the paper it was written on. I think it needs to come with a video so a person can see how the heck they work....

bratydw317 says "Best self manicure I have had in years!" about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

bratydw317 — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 03:07:44 GMT

This is the best manicure I have had in years. I simply do not have time to go to a nail salon. I can apply this nail color while watching TV with my husband, or checking my email. It is easy to remove also.

Becky1980 says "Innovative product, make sure someone teaches you how to use" about Avon Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips

Becky1980 — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 21:12:50 GMT

What a great idea!!! I loved the idea of these! I was super excited about them!

Then I completely botched the application.

Take the advice of some previous reviewers, get a tutorial in these puppies. It's not like anything else you've used, and just like when we were all learning makeup for the first time, it takes some practice. I must admit, I gave up, I've seen some other people who have mastered the art of these things and it's amazing, I just don't have the patience, I tried them on a novelty.

The toe ones are a little creepy, I must say, I just don't see how they could possibly work, but I've yet to try them.
