I thought the nails would look just like the pictures, but after buying 3 pairs, I realized they are replicas. It seems they take professional nail designs and try to copy them, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Be ready for that! The glue in the tube holds up very well and doesn't come off easily, even with the remover they provide. You'll need to wait for the nails to get older, but once they do, they start lifting around the cuticle. The polish also chips as they age. However, they do last for quite a while.
