When I was younger, I used to try press on nails. Back then, I remember having my mom put them on for me, only to have them immediately fall off the second I touched anything. The glue was horrible and the nails themselves looked super fake.
As I got older, I went back and forth between having acrylics put on, but my nails grow so fast that I needed to get them filled practically every week and that can get pretty pricey. Just getting the nails themselves put on can cost about $60.
Well, my problem has been solved! My amazingly fabulous pseudo-sister, Lauren, introduced me to these Kiss Everlasting French Nails. I saw her the other day and her nails looked amazing so I asked where/if she had gotten them done. When she told me that they were from this kit, I was SHOCKED. They looked so natural, gorgeous and chic!
I tried them myself last night (with her assistance) and really love the results. The little tab on the top makes applying them really easy--you just use it to hold the nail while you apply glue, slide it onto your nail, hold it for a few seconds and then break it off. I suggest filing a little afterward because the tab does leave behind a slightly jagged tip.
These things are seriously amazing though. I've been cleaning, doing dishes, typing, eating, writing, applying makeup...basically everything--and these nails have not come off or even budged the tiniest bit!
The best part: You can buy a pack of 'em for under $7!
