I found that while application was quick and relatively easy, they just don't cut it through normal day-to-day activities. I found that by simply pulling on a pair of leggings or putting my hand in my pocket made the tips of the strips scrunch up and start to pull away from my nails. Any type of pressure on the tips caused damage to them. Washing dishes also caused the strips to pull away from my nails. I find I get much better results with the strips that need curing with a UV lamp, they last 2-3 weeks while the Sassy Saints lasted 2-3 days, if I was lucky. I will not be purchasing again.
