I'm here with a product review for artificial nails by Nailene. My take on artificial nails have not always been successful but I feel like with more practice, the outcome gets better. I attempted to apply these nails again and I think I did a better job this time. I didn't get that many air bubbles and I applied the glue much neater which didn't cause it to spread and get all over my skin.
PROS:
→ The length is perfect especially for everyday.
→ You get a nice makeover for your nails for less than what you would normally pay at a salon.
→ Each kit comes with a manicure stick & a file so in case a press-on may be too wide, you can easily file it down to fit your fingernail.
→ The nail glue had a longer nozzle for where the glue comes out which made a more precise application.
→ Nails come in trendy designs especially from their Couture collection.
→ The manicure stick is made of plastic which is so much better than the wooden kind because it's more sturdy and it doesn't dent when you try to push your nails.
CONS:
→ Air bubbles, as always when it comes to artificial nails. I can never prevent them!
→ I had some trouble finding the right size for my nail bed. I tried filing them down to fit my fingernail but I was afraid I would make a mistake so I just left some of them the same.
→ Glue can get messy if you apply too much.
OVERALL:
→ I hardly ever get my nails done at a salon anymore because it's expensive and there's no reason to get my nails done professionally if all I do is work or go to school. So these nails are a great alternative if you don't want to spend so much money at a salon. Artificial nails are great for special occasions because it's a fast and inexpensive way to dress up your nails for a night out without worrying about ruining your nails the way acrylics do.

Congrats to your winner!! And the nails look great! I wish I could do the fake nails! LOL! They're ALWAYS too big for me. And filing them down is too much work! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBut these are real pretty! And I love the butterfly sticker you added to it!
Great review! the pictures are wonderful, what camera are u using now? I realize there's difference in quality.
ReplyDeletewowwww love the style! french tips with a twist xD
ReplyDeleteI love those. I have been seeing a lot of people trying out these false nails. I haven't tried them since I was younger. Did u have to cut ur natural nail before applying the false ones?
ReplyDeleteblkprincess87 - You should give them a try! I did cut my nails before applying them. I think if you don't trim your nails, the white tips of your real nail would show through the artificial nail.
ReplyDeleteTINA!! I want your camera!! ahaha! I wish to buy a professional camera on my birthday next year.. Hopefully ** ahahah! :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, your nails are beautiful!! They look like salon made! Love the color and the butterfly! :D
I love the blue glitter ones! I'm wearing zebra striped tips right now from Nailene. So cute! Except I just busted on on my wall...so typical of me. lol!
