I had horrid visions of mess, chipping, general frustration and frankly... ineptitude.
BUT- girl done good.
This is day 2 of wear, and with only a small number missing from the tip, I'm impressed by that.
I use a cheapo black base coat, then an old top coat which has gone ever so slightly sticky, and sprinkled the 'constellations' from the funnel thingy onto the wet top coat. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of mess, and having followed the instructions, how well covered my nail was.
I gave my very on trend (ahem) accent nail a bloody huge drips healthy coat of top coat to seal, and be warned, as the packaging does say, that this will mute the colours a little. I can't imagine every day life treating these very kindly without though, so I think it would be party/function nights only to brave without a topcoat, and I think they still look lovely with the topcoat.
Not bad for a £2 novelty that I was fully expecting to spend the rest of the year rolling about cluttering up my nail box and/or that I'd be finding for months in my clothes/shoes/washing machine.

Ah I love the look of these but I've been too scared to try them because I'm just expecting mess everywhere! I might have to give them a go now, the MUA ones are so cheap :) xo
I just bought the MUA Libra ones, they're gorgeous! I can't wait to try them out but yeah I get what you mean about the impracticality of these. I could never wear them at work xxx
This looks great! I have never tried nail art- I would definitely just mess it up!

Ahh this looks gorgeous, I've been thinking about getting the Pisces one. Think I might pick one up when I go shopping next week! xx
I rarely manage to simply paint my nails without making a mess, but this was by far the easiest and tidiest nail art I've ever tried.
Mine were fine for a day or so at work- although I'm mostly office based, so it's not too problematic.
The look like the should be super messy, but so long as you're gentle and use a bowl to catch the excess, it's just fine. Go for it.
