I picked these up as a stocking stuffer and forgot to stuff them, so I kept them for myself! The pads themselves are about 2" in diameter and are very thin. Which is fine, because a little goes a long way. At first grab, I thought they could never work because they seemed a bit dry. Well, I was wrong on that point.
This isn't like traditional nail polish remover, it's actually more of an oil. And they don't have acetone which I love because they don't asphyxiate everyone around you. Plus, they don't dry your hands or cuticles. They leave behind an oily finish which didn't bother me because it felt like cuticle oil and I just washed my hands afterward.
I ended up using five pads to remove a 4-coat manicure. It's messier than a cotton ball with polish remover because the polish gets all over your fingers as it is disolved. But, that just means you have to use an extra pad to remove it from your fingers.
All in all, I think they are a good buy because you can drop them in your purse and they don't smell harsh. They don't dry your cuticles. It's a bit messier, but washing your hands afterward fixes that.

Warm & Fozzie is probably my favorite of all the OPI Muppet collection—a beautiful brown with copper, gold and pinkish micro glitter-- almost like a gritty foil. It really is a chameleon. It can look totally different inside, outside, at night, basically in all kinds of light. It's a bit thin, so it took three coats to be truly opaque.
It really shines with a gloss top coat and with a matte top coat, they look like a suede finish which is really pretty.

Butter London Nail Skins

What a huge disappointment. I've tried Sally Hansen's, Broadway's, Nail Fraud's, Inque Nails' and Sephora by Ulta's nail skins/decals and I have to say these are at the bottom of my list. Well, maybe above Broadway's because theirs tear really easily. Then again, Butter London's are twice the price and last only a couple hours, so yeah, they're at the bottom.
Firstly, there are only 6 sizes of skins for each hand, so unless your nails are the right size and shape, you will be trimming the stickers to fit your nails anyway. Oh, and they are definitely stickers, not skins. It feels like you are wearing duct tape on your nails. They are pretty thick and have really gooey adhesive on them.
Plus, the stickers weren't wide enough for my nails by about 1/4", so they were noticeably small. My nails aren't even big, so I would guess you would have to be a tween for them to fit. I ended up having to trim all of the stickers to fit my nails because they were too rounded on the cuticle end. I cut off half of the design in the process, and that was a pity because they were really cute. Once I had them on, it was less than a half hour before they started to curl up on the edges and leave behind traces of adhesive.
The only plus was the design. I got the black ones with the bird and roses and I loved that the right and left hands were not exactly the same. Other than that, I was very disappointed overall. I wore them around the house for an hour and took them right off. That was $10 wasted, for sure.

These cloths were a big disappointment. They smelled decent and made my face feel clean afterward, but that's about it. It took three cloths to remove my eye and face makeup. Also, I didn't fine them deep cleansing at all. Even after the 3 towelettes, when I used toner on my face the cotton balls did not come off clean. They had makeup and dirt still on them. I give these a pass. Don't waist your money. -
