My Trip to the Coast

Kiss Nail Strips - Hit or Miss?

Nail strips can be pretty awesome. They can include detailed designs and cool patterns that would be hard to achieve otherwise. Some strips are very easy to use, while others require a little more work. There are many qualities to consider when choosing nail strips.
