I decided to try out this product as I remember as a young girl that my mom used something similar and her nails always looked so beautiful. I found this easy to apply, however after a few hours and a few hand washes (i wash my hands at least twice every hour) I found that i had to reapply as the white had vanished. This is a great idea, however i like the more durably french manicure. At least this product is very affordable, just doesn't go well with my crazy hand washing habits :)
