These look really cute on, but they almost didn't get on. I'm not sure if they're old or something, but I could not get the plastic off of them. It took 30 minutes to get the plastic off of 3 nail strips, but then I figured out the secret. Hold the strip in your non dominant hand halfway down the strip. Grasp the half you're not going to put on your nail with your other hand and wiggle/crinkle the heck out of it. Only took 5 minutes to get the rest of the plastic off the other 7 strips
