My daughter wanted to put a color on her fingernails and then write the color
on top. Don't ask me why but she did. I was going to use the thin tipped fingernail polish we have to make the letters in white on top. While I was painting her nails, I had a few thoughts.

as they dried to keep them down but after the second clear coat, they stayed just fine.It is two days later and all of the stickers are still on and the nails look perfect. That is two school days as well so I know they have been used and tested. I thought it was great.
