Review: Kiss Press on Nails

Its been awhile since I've done any type of how to blog or a review! So I thought I'd give you both at the same time! I am the kind of girl that gets her nails done on a regular basis.  I have been getting acrylic nails since I was in high school, spending about $45 every two weeks to sit down and have someone do my nails.  Of course over the years this has caused a considerable amount of damage to my nails, but I love having them.  Recently my partner and I have started school, so trying to come up with about $90 a month to have acrylic nails has gotten to be too much.  Now...yes I could just paint them but my nails are so thin and brittle...and nail polish lasts about 3 days but it takes me several hours to paint them how I want.  So I've been exploring other options.  About 2 weeks ago I purchased a pair of press on nails to simply get me through to fills.  It had already been a month since my last fill, and it would be about another week before I could make it to a salon.  So I spent about $6 at Wal-Mart and hoped for the best.


So on the right was the night I put the nails on and on the left is today when I took them off.  It has been 2.5 weeks since I put them on.  I've had no glue touch ups like I thought I might, no breaking, and no chipping.  The only problem was that the white nails started to turn colors because I am a smoker, but to be fair this happens with my acrylics too, also as you can see on my index finger, the design started to peel off.  All in all, for $7 not bad! 

I'm not really sure there are significant pros except that for $6 you get the nails, a small bottle of glue, a small file, and a little sticky thing to push back your cuticles.  How can anyone complain about $6? There area few cons but I can't say that they are significant enough to make me not want to do it again.  The glue is messy (but it peels off after like a day or two), the nails are never a perfect fit for me and I have to file them to fit (Even medium lengths are too long), and it can be time consuming.  

All in all - I'll probably continue to use press on nails for a little bit, At least until I can afford to go to the salon!  I am also going to look into doing just clear nails that I can paint myself so stay tuned!
