Advice/ experience with nail stickers?
Hello Everyone!
I'm heading to New York next week and have been thinking about what to do with my nails. I thought that the nail stickers would be best since the chance of chipping is minimal and I won't have time for touch ups while I'm there.
Do any of you have some advice/ suggestions for which brand is the best? I've only used the Sally Hansen ones which I loved but I wanted to check out what other options are out there.
Failing that, I'm up for random design suggestions, too!

I stick with the Sally Hansen ones. They are actual nail polish strips, not "stickers" like many MANY of the other (often quite pricey) brands out there make these wraps. Essie, sephora by OPI, revlon; these are all ones that I have heard are not polish like the Sally Hansen ones, but are just stickers. Sally's used to sell the china glaze ones, some should be clearanced now. Those I believe are actual polish too. There's another brand that was confirmed but I can't remember it now.
Preemptive edit: I may be wrong about one of the 3 brands I mentioned, one may be legit. I know its not revlon though. And I'm pretty sure it's not essie. Anyhow, good luck and have fun in NY!
Actual edit: look at the packaging. Any strips that are made with actual polish should be sealed better than just stuck to a backing and put in plastic wrap. The Sally Hansen ones come in a sealed blister pack that once opened, start to dry out. Revlon and essie are just stuck to a back like sparkly stickers.
Thank you very much! Unfortunately I'm in Quebec and we don't have Sally's and China Glaze is a bit of work to find. Maybe I can finally visit one in NY :)
Oh awesome! You're fine then, if you've got access to the Sally Hansen strips you are more than set, they have SUCH an amazing selection too! Funny, the first and apparently last time (not intentional) I wore the strips was when I went to New York too, they lasted awesomely!
