As with the other nail wraps here, these are soft to the touch until the topcoat fully cures. Be gentle until then and these wraps will look great for a very long time. I always remove mine after two weeks, but only because of how much they've grown out. The nebula pattern is subtle until you get a closer look. One of my favourite of the nail wraps, and based on how often they sell out, I'm sure I am not alone in that opinion. The glowing starts add a fun touch. I will definitely order more (assuming you all don't beat me to them).
