I purchased these in the ROYAL BLUE CHROME color. Regardless of the current style, I prefer the square shape and I don't like my nails long. I was going out of town and typically I destroy my manicure polish look shortly after leaving the salon. One of my nieces, like her mother, always has a great press on manicure where you CANNOT distinguish it from a professional so I enlisted her to do the application. She also opted to utilize nail glue as opposed to the press tabs provided. Almost two weeks later my LEFT HAND is fully intact. I am right handed which I think contributed to the deterioration of those nails. I mistakenly banged my thumb nail against the sink while rushing to pack for my trip. I contacted my niece who advised what nail glue to purchase but as I never removed old glue, it would not stay on and I know that I did not properly apply it based on how the nail was sitting. I lost three more nails on the right hand the day I was rushing to pack for my return home. Overall, I do not regret the purchase and had actually purchased but did not keep last year to wear for a wedding. Based on this experience I wish I had kept them, and I would purchase again being sure to keep the extras and nail glue handy. They also fared well after I had my niece cut them down again after application and file. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMMEND and advise that if you aren't used to wearing nails, which I am not, that you be more mindful of what you do with your dominant hand. Don't know if this was a contributor in addition to the rushing, but every time I lost a nail by mistakenly banging it against a hard surface or grabbing something, I had also recently showered and applied a body oil/moisturizer.
