Don't play safe, buy fake!

After seeing fake nails on so many celebrities recently (Lana del Rey, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J....to name a few), I thought I'd try them out myself. After months of exams I thought I deserved a bit of pampering - so why not join in on the long taloned trend? I bought a set of 100 medium length nails by Kiss, an absolute bargain at £5.99. I especially liked these because they were translucent, meaning you could shape and paint them yourself. 

I was a bit apprehensive at first, as I'd never ventured into this particular side of beauty yet, but they were so easy to apply and shape! The glue was perfect as only a thin layer was needed (although it dried very quickly and was extremely strong - at one point I thought I'd glued two fingers together FOREVER). They also took to the nail varnish easily and made them look really smooth! I decided to paint them a bright coral pink to show off my tan. 

This was the final look! Overall I'd give this product a solid 8/10. They were so easy to apply and looked really natural despite them being quite long! I did get a few nails snapping off after a few days, but the recommended length of usage is around 7 days, so all in all not too bad!
