I open beauty products all day long for work so chipped nails were my signature look until I tried these custom-fitted gel nail stickers. I uploaded a few photos of my nails to the ManiMe site, selected a butterfly design (called Spread Your Wings), and a week later a 15 pack of 3D printed nail stickers arrived at my door. There were five extras in case I botched the application. (I've also tried – and loved – the 70s-inspired flower design below.)

The stickers were custom-printed to fit my nails. And even though they were a little long on my index fingers, I could easily file away the excess. And overall, sticking them onto my nails was a breeze, and voila: My nails looked as though I had just sat through a two-hour nail art manicure session, and it took me less than ten minutes to apply the stickers.
The more I learn about ManiMe, the more it impresses me: The manicure stickers even won an Allure Best of Beauty Breakthrough Award for their innovative technology. Here's how it works: You upload photos of your nails to its site, and then ManiMe creates a three-dimensional mathematical representation of them and prints gel stickers to fit your nails exactly. (If they are not a perfect fit, you can ask ManiMe's Care Team to adjust the fit on future orders.) And the stickers themselves are actually made of real gel polish. I've tried a handful of designs, and love how they last up to two weeks without chipping.
