The package comes with five clips. Except for the thumb clip which was too large for me, the rest of the clips fit well. They are held together by a small black rubber band which is a bit flimsy, but usable. I wish that they would have provide a bit more pressure since these felt loose...
Using these couldn't be easier. Just soak a cotton or felt square in nail polish remover. Cover the nail with the soaked material and place the clip over it. Then let it all sit that way for a few minutes before removing the clip and wiping off the polish.
Although I was worried about them not providing enough pressure, that didn't seem to affect the outcome. After a few minutes, the glitter easily wiped off the nail. No more rubbing...
Now here is the ugly side of these clips. They are NOT acetone resistant and that just baffles me. After a few seconds of contact, the acetone started to melt the plastic of these clips. I could smell a very chemical odor which is what I assume was the smell of melted plastic. After I opened the clip and removed my nail, I had to rip the felt out of the clip leaving behind lots of fibers, a bumpy surface inside the clip and an awful smell....
You can see on this piece of felt a pink area of the right side. That pink spot is actually melted plastic... so sad...
Normally I love Born Pretty Store products for my nail art, but I was really disappointed with the quality of these clips. Although they worked as promised for removing the glitter, this is the first BPS product that I would not recommend for purchasing. I just don't understand how clips which are meant to hold acetone soaked material in place are not acetone resistant. I also wonder if the outcome would be different with non-acetone remover, but I don't have any to test it out...
Thanks for looking!
