Today, I decided to try fake nails for the first time since a youth theatre play in which I played a wolf and, accordingly, wore bronze fake nails (which were intended to be worn for one day) for my "claws." I used the Revlon nails I received in my Revlon/Nailene package the other day and applied them using the nail glue that came in the package. It quickly became evident to me that there was a certain learning curve to the process - I managed to get nail glue on my fingers as well as my nails, and there are bubbles in the glue under most of my nails. However, I think the end result looks quite nice:
My nails have never grown this long, so it's quite nice to see what my hands look like with nails of a greater length. I really like the design, though I do wonder about one claim made on the label - "compares to $50 salon style." Really? I've never had a salon manicure, so I have absolutely no idea how much they typically cost, but $50 seems like a lot to me. If you could enlighten me, I'd really appreciate it.
All in all, I like this product - while I had some difficulty, I thought the nails were fairly easy to apply. While I definitely wouldn't want to wear these all the time (I would get bored), I will keep them back for special occasions or when I feel like having fancy nails without the work of painting them myself.

They look nice! I've done this in the past, and yeah, nail glue alllllll over the place lol. And for acrylics in NC, you pay around $20-35...in New York I paid $45 once.
ReplyDeletewow! such extensive list!
ReplyDeleteAurora- Thanks; I guess $50 is a lot!
ReplyDeleteElle- Haha, I don't have nearly as much as some!
Wow - a spreadsheet! You're so organized (unlike me)! :)
ReplyDeleteThe nails look really nice on you.
A spreadsheet....you are great. Please don't take offense now....but my brother-in-law does spreadsheets ...to do lists...not to do lists...whatever lists you can imagine...he's a software engineer...super detailed oriented. He will love to hear that a gal made a spreadsheet of her nail polishes..!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to take a peek when I get a chance here at your sheet. :)
Your fake nails look awesome....you're quite the artist. :) You wondered about the price at salons...well I've been twice...last time I was visiting here...86 dollars and the 2nd time 20 dollars...and they did not look as nice as yours.
Good job as usual. Love your site...but you already know that! :)

Lily- Haha, thanks! I'm really not that organized in most areas of my life...like my living areas, for example. :D
ReplyDeleteInga- Spreadsheets are awesome! I've even made one for all my potential colleges, lol. And thanks for letting me know about manicure prices. I hope you enjoyed your $86 mani! :)

ReplyDeleteI've never tried fake nails either, this makes me want to!
ReplyDeleteLily- Thanks!
