Whats Up Nails - X-pattern Vinyl Stencils for Nail Art Design (1 Sheet, 12 Stencils)

Pros:Thick, heavy duty vinyls.Multiple uses per single vinyl.Nice patterns.Good adherence.Cons:You definitely need to remove some of the tackiness on these by placing them on a piece of cardboard or a nail mat before applying to the nails. They can sometimes leave glue residue if you do not.The X style vinyls are not good for short nails and can be difficult to place evenly on each nail.Price. You can get 12000 nail vinyls for like, $6 elsewhere on Amazon that includes way more designs, plus tips. I think I paid like, 13 dollars for these four sheets and one of the designs I can't even use until my nails grow out more, so I'm not impressed with the price point.

These were a bit expensive compared to other nail stencils I have used in the past. However, I think that they have been worthwhile so far. As a former nail technician, the quality of stencils is very important because the ones that don't stick properly will allow leakage undermeath, resulting in a smeary, messy look. These stick firmly to nails, give a crisp finish to the edges, and are so durable that I've used some of them on more than one nail. Despite the price, I had to give it five stars.

I'm a newbie to all of this... what can I say, I got tired of paying for manicures and decided to do my own at home. I have the Gelish mini LED system, which I love, but I wanted to try a design. I heard that gel polish does not work well with designs, so here was what I did. Use gel foundation and 2-3 coats of your chosen color and cure as usual. Wipe off the tacky layer so your vinyl will stick. Put the vinyl down and press across nail evenly. I recommend trimming excess off end of nail and putting liquid latex on top for easy cleanup. Use a regular nail polish to fill in your design. I used the sponge technique and it gave me nice clean lines. (This is Color Club Halo Hues Harp on It. It's crazy pretty holographic and the photo does it no justice at all!) Immediately remove the vinyl. Wait for the regular nail polish to dry enough. (The sponge technique kept the excess polish to a minimum and was dry enough in 15 minutes.) Use your gel topcoat and cure as usual. I gave this accent nail two top coats just to be safe. Very happy with my first try results. I'll be ordering more vinyls from this company!

I'm envious of all the other photos and reviews. I tried to follow the rules and I waited a full 20 minutes before removing the vinyls but it's still a 50/50 mix of gorgeous versus messed up. I'd recommend settling into a Netflix binge and forgetting about these bad boys for a full 30 before taking off for those perfect lines!

These nail vinyls are awesome! It was actually my first experience using a nail vinyl even though i've used tons of nail products in the past. This was a great first choice. I think these are cut really well and make a very detailed pattern. Make sure and not use too much polish while painting over the vinyl, because it makes your lines finer. I will be buying these again. Bonus that they came extremely fast as well!

These are GREAT once you get them off the paper and get all the little cut pieces poked out. But not one time could I pull the stencil up and just use it, I had to put it on the back of the paper and manually pop out the scales for the mermaid pattern on every single one. 🙄

I only got 2 sheets of Morrocan stickers for $8.17! What a rip off! I will never buy from "what's up nails " again!

Not that big of a fan. I found I could do better in less time than it took to put these one

I can’t get them to stick properly. Rubbish

Nice
