My take on the Product
The L’Oreal Paris nail art stickers come in a pack of 18 stickers of varying sizes. There is a good size selection there so most women should be able to find a fit for their nails. The sticker is fairly easy to apply, you take it off from the sheet, set it first at the base of the nail and smooth it upwards along the length of the nail. These are quite long so you would need to remove the excess length. Just fold it over the tip of the nail and using a nail filer, file off the excess length.
I love the concept and the designs are fabulous but the issue I faced with these was the fit. I’m sure they’ve been designed to fit most nail shapes but I have pretty curved nails – along the length as well but more so along the width. So when I smoothed down the sticker on my nail, I saw some kinks and bends which spoil the whole look. Its like fitting a 2D shape (the sticker) onto a 3D shape (the nail). While it doesn’t look too obvious from a distance, up close, the finish looks a bit clumsy and untidy because of this.
The second issue I faced was the wear time. Even though L’Oreal claims upto 10 days of wear, my stickers started peeling off from the nail tip after 2 days. If you want to keep them on for long, you basically cannot do regular house work etc. as it is bound to come off! On my right hand, I also noticed the sticker getting stained with haldi (turmeric) while I had food. These are basically high maintenance!
Despite the shortcomings I’ve talked about above, I do like these for special occasions. If I want fabulous nails for a party, I will definitely be using these. They do look pretty amazing and different than usual polish on the hands. And mentioned by brand, there is no drying time and not much room for mistakes. It doesn’t require a nail paint remover either and doesn’t damage the nails. When the tip starts peeling, just peel the whole thing off your nail – it just requires a little bit of pressure and doesn’t leave behind any sticky residue on the nails.

The GOOD about L’Oreal Paris Le Nail Art Stickers :
- Easy to use
- No Drying time
- Fabulous designs
- Doesn’t damage the nails
- Easy to file off
- Doesn’t leave any sticky residue on the nails
- Good size selection in each sticker
The NOT-SO-GOOD about L’Oreal Paris Le Nail Art Sticker :
- High maintenance (else it peels off soon)
- The fit may not be great on all nail shapes
Overall Verdict
L’Oreal Paris Le Nail Art Stickers make fabulous manicures accessible and affordable! While the designs are fabulous and the application fairly easy, these may not fit perfectly onto all nail shapes. They also need high maintenance to keep them on for upto 10 days as claimed by the brand. As for me, they are best used as nail makeup - to be used for a few hours for a special occasion and then removed.
Rating : 3.5/5

ur right about the unevenness! but they seem great for parties n all
I was pretty excited about these nail stickers. Too bad that the fit can be a problem
what if they accidentally peel off and drop in to my cup of tea
Where do u get these?
These are available at L’oreal counters now Avantika. I spotted them at Health and Glow last week.
I saw them at health and glow this week.. But didn’t know if it would look good or not.. Agree that the bends look a little bad..
But yes these would be great for parties and special occasions if the application is got right..
By the way why would they sell 18 stickers. and not 20
It is an interesting concept.. I’m a bit undecided about them tbh
Its very uneven. Not at all impressed by the idea of stickers
Will look awesome if it fits well but if not, tend to look tacky..
But overall, a very nice concept.
maybe you can cut them a bit to alter it and suit the nail shape.. they look good (y)
very pretty.. So easy and classy
They look awesome Ankita!!
I think you would have to cut them to make them fit
my nail beds are curved too….but they are sooo gorgeous
The stickers look really tempting! I’m gonna give it a try. Hope it fits well on my nails. Thanks for the review Ankita!
I just used these for the first time this evening. Actually I was surprised by how well the application went! My nails are quite wide and thought there is some space at the sides that it didn’t cover, I don’t think it is noticeable, and mine did not bubble or buckle like these ones did above. Maybe different designs apply better? Anyway I give these 4/5 stars and will use them again!
