Perfect nails in a flash
Review of Elegant Touch Pre-Glued Nails by
redballoon
Advantages: Very quick, long lasting
Disadvantages: none
...women, making your hands more elegant and beautiful. The nails are in a plastic container and each nail is separate from other nails. This is because the glue is pre applied to the underneath of each nail and if they where in the packet loose they would stick together.
The pack contains 24 false nails and they come in a variety of sizes so they will suit the smaller or larger nails.
I paid £3.00 from my local body shop. I think this is a reasonable ... ...not the cheapest. The nails are ready to wear as soon as you are ready to put them on. They have already been painted and shaped. The nails come in different sizes and colours. I choose square and choose them in French polish as they looked the nicest.
The nails are so easy to put on. As they are pre glued there is no hassle with getting a small amount of glue on each nail, trying to place the nail in the right place with out sticking the nail to ...

I took the plunge and bought the Rio Kit
Review of Rio UV Gel Nails Kit by
Sporty1
Advantages: Cheaper than Salon Nails
Disadvantages: Needs practice and you learn by your mistakes
This is a very good product if you read the instructions carefully and stick to them. Otherwise you will not get a good result. First of all, I would put too much gel on to my nails - I prefer just to do my own nails and not use the extensions - the result of which is that even after using the UV lamp the nails remained tacky!! Now, I have learned to put just one thin layer on, I use the lamp for an extra minute, 4 mins instead of 3 and my nails ... ...it comes to re-doing them it is far easier to get the gel off if there is only a thin layer. I made the mistake of initially using a file, or a battery operated "drill" to get rid of the gel, but this made my nails quite thin and they have only just recovered (after two months) so don't make this mstake. Treat the nails gently.
All in all a very good product which with experience gets better. ...

My nails looked great...all 6 of them
Review of Nailene Lasting Finish False Nails by
pink_champagne
Advantages: look natural, cheaper than a salon
Disadvantages: they come off easily, glue doesn't work!
...had bought a pack of nailene false nails from Boots. Again, this was another purchase that had been relegated to the back of the cupboard as soon as it got through my front door. I decided that I would have to use these instead, so, reading the instructions I was pleased to read that 'Nailene Nail Appliction is as easy as 1,2,3'
Perfect.
~~About the kit~~
The kit itself comes in a small box with a window in the front through which you can see ... ...painted. Nailene do various different designs, from plain French manicure, through to fancy airbrush or jewel encrusted designs. I chose a French manicure design with shimmery polish.
The kit contains:
*20 French Manicure Nails - all different sizes to fit nails of all shapes
*Manicure stick (otherwise known as an orange stick, this is used to push cuticles back)
*2gm/ .07oz nail glue
~~Applying them~~
The instructions are on the side of the ...

Gorgeous nails on the cheap!
Review of Elegant Touch Acrylic Nail Kit by
SebastiansMommy
Advantages: Very easy to apply, inexpensive, little mess, lasts around a fortnight
Disadvantages: If doing yourself, it is hard to line the nail up with your weaker hand
Back when I decided to kick the habit of biting my nails, I thought one solution to overcome this would to be to buy "falsies" as you can't bite a false nail, right? I couldn't afford to go to a beauty salon and pay £30 to have someone do it for me, despite the fact I would have loved to have been pampered!
I was very pleasantly surprised by how cheap they were and how easy these were to apply. A blob of glue from the tube provided in the packet ... ...down and squeezing any excess air out of the sides. All that you have to do after is twist the tab and off it pops, ensuring an easy, mess-free application. Everyone commented on how lovely my nails looked with these and were amazed when I told them that actually it was my husband who had done them!! ...

Kiss Custom Fit Nails
Review of Kiss Custom Fit French Nail Kit by
roorooey
Advantages: cheap, easy to apply, look fantastic
Disadvantages: none
...to boots and purchased the Kiss Custom Fit nails in a clear colour with a white tip. When i got them home i was disappointed as when placed on my nail my horrible, short chewed nail was extremely visable underneath. Back to Boots i went and decided to get the same make but in a pink french manicure when placed on horrible nails these were much much better and fitted my nails perfectly. Watch out for which fit you get i used regular to flat arched.
... ...nails on but this never happened. So it was christmas eve when i finally got around to doing it at 11.15pm after a few glasses of wine. It literally took me about 30 mins and the result was fantastic. Even my mum who had paid for hers at a salon was dead impressed and is going to try them. I filed mine down a little so they were not really really long and i still have them on the very same ones today. They hve lasted me 12 days and are still on - ...
