1 out of 5 stars Waste of time and money!!   January 10, 2008

I just opened up this product for my 4 year old daughter who received this from Santa. First off, it was missing instructions......... Secondly, my daughter ripped open all of the little packages to take out the polish and glitter and stuff because she was so excited! I tried 3 times to put the stickers on the roll, finally the 4th time stuck. After about 3 minutes of that, she opened the top and the mirror broke off. After that, she loaded all of the polish into several areas that was supposed to house them (that is what is shown in the picture, but it really is not that way), I remembered it needed batteries. The battery cover is akward to reach, so everything fell out when I opened the battery door.

After all this, my daughter and her friend almost lost interest! They grabbed the nails and started to paint them, but the paint (or whatever it is supposed to be - it's not real polish!!) didn't stick to the nails. So we tried polishing their real nails, and this stuff came out so thick and streaky. Its pretty gross. We then tried the dryer and glitter blower to no avail. What a dissapointment!

My daughter was so surprised and excited to have a nail salon of her own! But now instead of smiles, she just walked away from it. Even though we used this, I am putting it back into the box and returning it. It doesn't work anyhow. I'd rather use the money to buy REAL nail polish, nail files, glitter, fake nails and a nail dryer that I know will work!

Don't waste your money!!!

Do NOT waste your money. Instead of "Shimmer n' Sparkle" - it's more like "Sham n' Spackle". There is not enough storage space for all of the "parts", the sticker roll is a nightmare-it will not hold the stickers, the glitter dome does not work-the glitter just lies there, the nail polish is cheap and peals or washes right off (althought the blue polish did stain my nails after the polish pealed off)-it also does not stick well to the plastic nails, the drying station makes a lot of noise but doesn't do any drying, need I go on...? I'm looking for my receipt now to return this hunk o' junk

Not worth the money - the glitter station doesn't work very well, the fake nails don't stay on, the polish is pretty bad, and the sticker roll doesn't hold the stickers right. But my 6 year old and my 3 year old really like it.

Santa brought this for our girls. They like the idea of it but get a little frustrated. The nail polish washes off and wont' stay on at all on the plastic fake nails. Plus the fake nails wont stay on their fingers. The stickers fall off, the mirror broke off almost immediately, the glitter dome/nail dryer doesn't work at all. Overall, it is very disappointing and frustrating. Skip this one.


1 out of 5 stars Awful Product   December 25, 2007
Irishman65 (NYC, USA)
I don't expect toys to last forever. However, this product is terribly disappointing from the moment it is opened. The stickers don't come off the sheet properly to apply, the nails don't stay on, nor does the nail polish. The glitter dome doesn't work and the battery compartment is awkward to reach. It is one thing to be a cheap toy, it is another to provide no entertainment or fun at all! This toy was frustrating and in the end useless and no toy should make a child sad. If we hadn't assembled it and attempted to use it already, I'd return it. As it is, it is headed for the trash already and it was opened less than 24 hours ago.
