So, I decided to play around with some glue-on nails I had been sent to try from <a href="http://www.kissusa.com/">Kiss Nails</a>. They're funky Neon colored French Manicure tips for the fingers and toes.<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/353/3538737/30_2009/46/kiss-pink-neon.jpeg"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/353/3538737/30_2009/0e/kiss-orange-neon.jpeg"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/353/3538737/30_2009/32/kiss-green-neon.jpeg"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/353/3538737/30_2009/67/kiss-pink-neon-toes.jpeg"></a></div><div>They come in Pink, Orange, Green and Pink for the toes. </div><div><br /></div><div>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. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span><div>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.</div><div><br /></div><div>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.</div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"></div> http://www.oldergirlbeauty.com/Neon-nails-weekend-3538896#comment nails Neon french manicure Kiss Products Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:25:00 -0500 oldergirlbeauty http://www.oldergirlbeauty.com/Neon-nails-weekend-3538896
