I was excited to FINALLY receive my Influenster Love VoxBox!!! (www.influenster.com)
I was waiting until my nails grew out a little… enough to have a free edge to fold my nail stickers over.
The Stash Herbal Tea….. not really my favorite, though I do love herbal tea. I still haven’t tried the Venus razor (as I’m more partial to Veet for hair removal), nor have I tried the Truvia. I haven’t found a use for it since I don’t use sweetener for my tea…. but now that I think about it…. Maybe I’ll like the Stash Tea better if I use the Truvia. I’ll try it, and give you all the update.
OBVIOUSLY, I loved the Ghirardelli chocolate. Smooth and silky! I tried it when I was craving chocolate during PMS, so it was even BETTER! lol. Ahhhh chocolate.
And now for the highlight to this whole package for me!!!…
Kiss Nail Dress “Cocktail”
Cute right?
I’m no longer interested Kiss nail products. This is the second epic FAIL I’ve experienced. (the first was the Kiss Nail Art Stencils – *thumbs down*)
These little stickers LOOKED nice on. They were extremely easy to apply.
They FELT horrible. Yes, past tense. I peeled the little suckers off my nails about 3 hours ago. They didn’t even last on my nails 24 hours.
The ends were prickly on the free edge of my nail. I think that’s why I like the nail polish/lacquer strips better. They adhere flat and smooth to your nail bed and feel just like polish.
This nail sticker design also had little bubbles of shiny sparkly little rhinestone thingys. Cute to look at, but with my self-diagnosed tactile OCD toward my nails, I was distracted by the little bumpy feel on my nails. I can’t stand a snag on my nail, a hangnail, a split layer, chipped polish…. none of that. So, these basically had to come off.
Perfect for an extended vacation. No need for polish removers or anything. I applied these while comfortably watching television. And quickly!
I would definitely recommend them for little girls who want really cute nails and those who don’t feel as skilled with neat polish application or nail art.
I can see how they’d be annoying. It seems like they’d be good for a special occasion, when you’d only have to have them on your nails for a few hours or something.
oh they’d be PERFECT for a special occasion. I didn’t think of that, but YES! the little edges were lifting off my nails before I even went to bed.
But I give them some credit because I did put them through a lot in the few hours they were on my nails. I washed dishes, and cleaned a whole lot of vegetables …. so my nails were under water for about hour.
Oh, wow… they did hold up pretty well, then. They looked really nice, just not practical.
They do look really cute, I was wondering about the one’s with the rhinestones since I got plain ones. The one’s I got are just like the polish strips, they laid really flat on the nail with no bubbles and the free edge was nice and flat as well. That’s a bummer! I really liked mine and can’t wait to try more!
Also, my chocolate was consumed during a PMS moment too and I enjoyed every minute of it! Ha!
oh wow!! Did you post pics with yours on?? I’d love to see some flat ones.
Mine didn’t have bubbles in the strip, it was just the rhinestone design. The application was good!!! If they were smooth, I probably would have liked them a lot more.
🙂 The chocolate!!!!!!! LOL
Yeah, here is my review:

Wow that box is cool.. I’m glad I read your review for the Kiss nail dress stickers.. I bought 3 diff ones, which i’m regretting now… They do look sooo pretty in the box.. Now I know not to waste my time, or at least wait to use them for a specific event.. Lol..
No, Joanna, try them out for yourself!!! My experience was only with the bubbly rhinestone ones.
Check Sugarmitten’s review http://sugarmitten.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/kiss-nail-dress-review/
it was a positive review. And gives all aspects of the nail stickers.
After reading her review, I will give the flat stickers a go.
Are these hard to remove?? I’ve tried the nail polish stripes and OMG they are so difficult to remove, especially the glitter ones.
nope, SUPER easy to remove. Just peel off your nail slowly. no polish remover necessary!
Glitter is evil….lol
Okay thanks for the info, Im going to have to try them, LOL @ your glitter comment!
lol, I really like glitter but the removal just KILLS me. i hate it.
I know exactly what you mean!
I LOVE THESE NAILS THEY ARE THE BOMB DIGITTY
