Since nail art and decals are all the rage right now, and a personal obsession of mine, what better product to test out than the new OPI “Pure Lacquer” Nail Apps.($13) Here are my step by step instructions and what I thought of the product overall…

1. Start with clean, dry nails.

2. Choose a strip that corresponds with the size of the nail you are working on. I found bigger was better in terms of choosing a size for each nail. Peel off the clear film covering the strip

3. Gently stretch the strip across your nail, smoothing out any creases. Don’t worry if there’s some overlap on the sides, you can file it away later.

4. Pull the strip down over the top of your nail and bend it at a slight angle.

5. Use a nail file to remove the excess strip at the top of your nail.

6. Go over each nail, removing any excess around the sides or bottom of the nail using a toothpick.

7. Finish your DIY manicure to reveal perfectly finished nails!

Total buy! Although OPI doesn’t include necessary items, such as the file or toothpick I found it to be an easy and worthwhile product to use. It only took me about ten minutes to complete both hands, and no waiting for dry time. For an inexpensive product, the finished result gave my nails an updated and polished look!
