Do these Nail(s) Rock?

After seeing various famous people with those amazing mirror shine nails I decided to find out how I can achieve the same effect, on ASOS I stumbled across Nail Rock which offer just that, one set costs £6.75 so I thought I would get the twin pack for £10.25, this had the silver i was after and also metallic lizard, I figured I would give it a practice with the lizard, then use the silver for my holiday in a couple of weeks.

To apply the wrap, you take them size that most matches your nail, place it on the nail, then smooth it down whilst applying heat from your hairdryer! OK, so the clever amongst you would have already realised that to do the above you already require 3 hands . . 1. the hand you are applying the wraps to, 2. the hand applying the wraps, and 3. a hand to hold the hair-dryer! I started by heating, smoothing, heating . .you get the idea, this didn't work too well so resulted to leaving the hairdryer running on the side, putting my fingers in the heat when required, this worked best.

Now my nails aren't of the stumpy kind, yet i was still left with a rather lot of excess, the instructions tell you to file this off using a wooden nail file, i couldn't see this working so i took the nail clippers to them and cut bits off first - I would recommend nail scissors here, but i didn't have any so had to make do! i then filed down the last bit, it was a bit scary as i didn't want to accidentally file my nails also, which unfortunately i did on a couple!

Anyway, I did rush these a bit, but was pretty pleased with the results . . until the peeling started, I am one of these people that if I know its peeling I cannot leave it alone or forget about it, so I kept pushing them back on to re-attempt to stick them back, it was alas . . too late. I blame the fate of these nails on my lack of attention to detail when applying, I am pretty sure if I had spend more time heating and smoothing they would have been fine! 

So i am remaining without definitive opinion on these at the moment, and will make my mind up when i get round to applying the silver ones!

Hopefully won't leave it so long next time!
