Works well on people with tiny hands and little nails [SEP] Maybe I have fat fingers. I don't know. These work well on kids and people with dainty nails. My hooves are just too big or wide or something. I have used them on my daughter to paint her nails and they're great for her. These things squeeze my fingers to the point of pain.  My advice? If you have kids, YES, it will keep your mess cleanup to a minimum.  For adults, use only if you have those kinds of hands that are dainty.
