Glossybox February Review Week - Day Four
Hi Lovelies!This was the one item I was shocked to see inside my Glossybox this month. I do like a bit of false nail action, but I have to admit I thought I'd said goodbye to the days where we would just stick them on, no glue involved.
As much as I thought this, it seemed a shame not to give the a go and see if they really stand up to their claim that they can last up to a week. I followed the instructions and they only took me ten minutes to apply.
You have to use the wipe included to clean your nails, choose the sizes that fit, pull off the plastic tab and apply. Easy peezy, right? Well yes, you could say that, but I came across a little stumbling point, the plastic tabs are actually gridded and if you pull at them too quickly they tear apart leaving you fiddling about to try and get the rest of the tab off of the back of the nail. This was a massive down side for me, and it's even harder when you already have a few fingers done.
I'd have to say, I'm pretty impressed (haha) with the strength of these nails. They don't seem to move as much as I thought, but lasting for a week? I'm not too sure of that. But saying that, as I'm typing this right now the tops of a couple of them are lifting. I'll insert a photo below once I've finished typing.
The only other downside for me is that they really do look fake, I feel like they are too thick and stand too far off of your natural nail.
I am glad I got to try something different from this months Glossybox, but I honestly don't think I'll ever purchase these, especially with the £7.99 price tag. They come in various colours and designs and I would probably recommend these for when you are in a hurry, or maybe even for a night out, but for a week long manicure, these just don't do it for me.
Maybe it's the way I type, but now a couple of them are really loose and I think I'll be taking these off by the end of tonight.
Sorry imPRESS but these are a massive thumbs down for me.
