Essie Sleek Sticks Nail Appliqué Collection (Nail Art)

Essie has jumped on the nail appliqué band wagon, debuting Sleek Sticks. Making nail art easy for anyone to accomplish, Essie’s Sleek Sticks are decorative nail decals. The collection features twelve designs. I’m partial to Over the Moon and Stickers and Stones. What about you?

Unfortunately, Essie hasn’t shared much information about the Sleek Sticks or how to use them on their website (that I can find, any way). A few questions I have:

  1. Are they made of real nail polish (like the OPI Pure Lacquer Nail Apps)?
  2. Once you open the package, will they dry out if not used within a certain period?
  3. Can they be used under a UV gel?
  4. What’s the average wear time?
  5. Exactly how are they applied?
  6. Are there any special instructions for removal?

I’m sure most of this information is available on the packaging, but it’d be great if it was available on the Essie website for potential buyers.

***UPDATE – 4:22pm ET***

I picked up a pack of the Essie Sleek Sticks today. Stay tuned, as I will hopefully have answers to these questions soon!

Essie has joined the ranks of OPI and Sally Hansen with their new RepStyle Magnetic Nail Polish. The magnetic polish easily creates nail art: you simply apply two coats of nail polish and then hold the magnetic cap over the wet polish to reveal the pattern.

I haven’t tried Essie’s RepStyle yet, but I’m definitely intrigued! Have you tried out Essie’s magnetic nail polish, or OPI’s, or Sally Hansen’s? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
