Since the child is in NYC for the summer (July 28th is still so far away) I have lots of free time to fill in the days. So, I decided to play around with some glue-on nails I had been sent to try from Kiss Nails. They’re funky Neon colored French Manicure tips for the fingers and toes.
They come in Pink, Orange, Green and Pink for the toes.
Let me say this first. I am not a fake nail girl. I went thru the “getting my nails done” phase in college, but so could not keep that up. I *do* appreciate a good mani, but only on my natural nails, no tips for me. So, you know I was bored/interested enough to give these a try.
Lemme just tell you what I didn’t care for up front: I didn’t like the glue factor. I wish these had been with stick on tabs, instead, because I am just all thumbs, let alone with fake nails on. I was so messy with the glue that I got it on top of a coupla nails, making their finish icky, not smooth like they were when I started putting them on. Second, these were just too long for me. They were in “Medium”, but that is still quite a difference from my fingertip length I usually wear. This made typing terribly difficult for me, which is pretty important as much as I am on the computer. The toe length was much better, but I made the mistake of trying to put them on *after I had put the finger ones on, so I didn’t get them applied as well as I could have, I’m sure.
But, I can see where these would be good for several things. These would be great for the lovely that wants to dip a finger in the neon nail polish trend, without going full on nail, which can be a bit much. Or for the lovely that is going out for the weekend and wants to something completely different and bright. These will be chip-free and last around 3 days, or up to a week, depending on your activity level. You can find them for $5.99 at all major drugstore chain, but hurry, as these Neon colors are only available thru July.
