Orly Half Moon Guides, 78 Count

These little pieces of tape are just perfect for creating French Nail tips! All you have to do is put it on your nail where you want the bottom of the French tip to be painted, and just paint the upper portion of your nail. When you pull the tape off the nail is perfect, well most of the time! I found if you pull the tape off to re-position it more than once, and then put it back on, it might not stick as well and paint goes under the tape (see image). Overall, I would use this tape again, knowing that if you need to re-position the tape you might as well just stick a new piece of tape on.

I was sick and tired of trying to use the thin stickers most manufacturers provide for French Manicures. Half the time the stickers refused to stay in place, so I gave up and was trying to master plain "painting" on the French part. Then, I saw these. They looked wider, so I took a chance and ordered them. They were delivered the next day and sure enough, the width of these stickers made all the difference in the world and I was able to get near perfect French tip nails on my dominant hand. I have yet to try my other hand because up to now I've been too busy admiring my "finally!!" left hand outcome. I am so pleased! And I will definitely use these from now on and recommend them to all.

These might be an old product? Approximately 50% of these white tip nail guides pulled off the paper backing with them, rendering these unusable. I will probably only get two French manicures out of these.

I had to get my husband to line these up for me. I made sure that I had a sealed fit, but still had too many mess ups to wear. Maybe I am just clumsy, but they were way to difficult for me.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these tips. Even though the curves are not perfect, they work well for a DIY. The tabs are difficult to remove with wet nails, so I would recommend removing the tabs from the paper before applying any base coat. Other than that, a good product 👍

I’m far from being an expert at painting nails, but these worked for me! I put on a clear base coat first then let that dry — I think this helped create smoother lines, since the lines did not appear as crisp when I did not apply a base coat first. After the base coat dried I made sure to firmly press the stickers onto my nails (making sure that there were no gaps or bubbles for the polish to seep under). Then one by one painted the tips. After painting the each tip I would IMMEDIATELY remove the guide sticker. I learned that peeling the sticker immediately after applying the polish makes for the most crisp lines. I noticed that when I left the guide stickers on while the polish was drying, it would sometimes seep under the sticker making the lines look blotchy. I hope this helps!

Waste of time and money!I made sure to very firmly press the stickers down to ensure a strong and complete adhesion, but the polish still leaked below the stickers. Also, the instructions indicated to let the polish dry before removing sticker. I tried that way first, and then also tried removing while wet-- but either way looked terrible.

Product is fine. The box was smashed and torn, so I can't store them in the box they came in.
