Love these! I usually do my own nails at home. I had only gone to a salon for a gel polish manicure one time a few months ago (because my kids got me a gift certificate for a mani/pedi) and didn't realize the hassle of taking off the gel polish when you want to change your color. I change my polish often - about once every 2 weeks. I LOVED the look of gel polish, but didn't like that I had to either go to a salon to take it off or soak my nails with acetone saturated cotton and wrapped in foil. Seemed a bit messy and a waste of cotton, acetone and foil.
These little clips are convenient, reusable and durable. I can pull apart 1 cotton ball into 5 pieces and put very little acetone on the cotton pieces. I place the soaked cotton just on top of my actual nail bed and put the clip on each finger. The clips hold the moisture in. It doesn't let the acetone evaporate. The pressure of the clips aren't too tight, they are just right.
I purchased 2 sets (20 clips total) because I wasn't sure how durable they were. Other reviews I saw said that they were cheap and break easily. For $1.26 per set, I figured I would try it. I love it. I would recommend it if you do your nails at home. Also great if you like glitter polishes that are a little difficult to take off.
