Five stars because this is the first set of fake fingernails that have 1) stayed on my fingers for more than one day and 2) did not cause pain. I have very flat wide nail beds with ridges and until now every pair of drugstore nails that I've bought squeezed my nail bed into an unnatural curve which caused pain from the pressure. I applied these nails on a Friday morning using the adhesive strips only and they all lasted 6 days, until Wednesday afternoon, despite being fairly hard on them using them to pry open canned food poptops, clean the house, etc. On the sixth day one of the middle fingernails started to become loose towards the cuticle and I ended up popping it off, so I didn't lose it. The other nine are still going strong. Note before I applied to each one I flattened it almost completely flat, which worked really well for me.I bought them in three other colors and would highly recommend.
