NOTD Broadway Nail Dress Stickers

I wanted to share my nail "stickers" of the day by Broadway Nails. I picked these bad girls up from Walgreens for about $5.50. This design reminds me of Sally Hansen Flower Power nail strips, but they are more vibrant and less pixelated. Like the Salon Effects they are super easy to apply, but you get 28 stickers instead of 16, so you can make a few more mistakes.

I really like this design but they are not as sturdy as the Sally Hansen nail strips. I placed them over a base coat and then added a topcoat to help the mani last a little longer. This is the end of day 1 and they are holding up okay, but I'm starting to see them lift near the base of the nail. I planned on doing a wear test but I'm getting antsy about painting my nails. I'll probably change them tomorrow.

  7. thanks ladies =D

    @Ivana. I think these inspired Broadway & SH's designs. They look very similar when I compare the two.

    @Amanda. I agree the SH's have a stronger grip.

  10. Wow those definitely look so fun! I wish I could get them here, I love that the designs are so colourful and precise, there's no way I could ever paint that on my nails, so that's pretty amazing!

  11. This design sure is prettier! But considering the wear, I'll stick to SH.

  12. @Cheryl. That's one of the reasons I got this design. I wanted something complex that I couldn't recreate myself.

    @KarenD. There's not a Rite Aid in my area so I was happy they made it to Walgreens.

    @LemonyEmily. You made me laugh. I want to try Minx but I know they won't last a full week on my nails. Thanks for the award!

  14. I definitely like this floral design better than the grainy Sally Hansen floral!

  15. Adorable! What if you have smaller or larger nail beds though? How hard is it to get them to size if your nail is smaller than the sticker?

  16. Pretty cute...I think I prefer SH's pixelated version though
