Nailene Review - So Natural Nails

Hi Ladies :)

Today I have a review for you for Nailene So natural artificial nails. Since my nails are too long at the moment I decided to try them on my sister!

Completed nails with packaging and left over nails, so many sizes!

Nail Prep
I cut down my sisters nails, filed the tips then gently filed the nail bed so the glue and nail would stick well.

Application
I applied a good amount of the glue to the nail and carefully pushed the fake nail to her actual nail to made sure there was good adhesion and as minimal bubbles as possible.

Post Application
I cut down the nails to a length she was more comfortable with and filed them out.

Decoration
I finished the nails off with some Nailene nail art stickers. Very easy to apply ( I used tweezers) and stuck very well.

Indoors, flash. I love these star stickers!

Tips and tricks
One great tip I want to share with you ladies is when applying the nails either to yourself of someone else, put lotion on your hands before you start (NOT the actual nails). The glue will stick less to your fingers and more to the nail when pushing the nail down ( I figured this out half way in to application lol).

One thing I really need to master is getting all the air bubbles out. Some nails came out perfect and some were a little bubbly. My sister didn't want me to used TOO much glue, so I tried to use and much as she would allow, that may have been the issue. But I think a little more practice would make perfect :)

My sister was very pleased and let me know that they feel like her real nails! My mom didn't now they were fake! I will track the longevity of the nails over the next couple of weeks. On Friday we are leaving for the Dominican Republic, so that will be the ultimate test for wear with the water. I will bring some extra nail glue just incase ;)

I have purchased and used these nails in the past to cover up broken nails to help them grow out and I was amazed and how real they felt and how long they stuck for with minimal glue! I have had acrylic nails once in my life and they felt the same! My sister and I would highly recomend these nails :)

What do you think, Have you tried stick on nails before? Would you try them if you haven't before?

Claire's mood polish

Hi ladies :)

*Note: to view my review of the NEW mood polishes, click here.

Today I have one of the older mood polishes to share. I know that they have been seen before, but I really had fun with this one, I did not expect to love this colour so much!

Window, daylight

I think that I used 3 coats of the polish with 1-2 coats of white under. I would highly recommend doing this as I find it lasts a lot longer. I had tried out the blue/teal mood polish previously and had chipping within the first couple of hours of application!

I had just gotten my bundle monster plates when I did this mani and wanted to try them out, this is what I came up with.

Indoors, flash. You can see a slight funky french

I love the star design :) it works as a full nail design, but since it is a full image and does not cut off it covered all my nails perfectly, including my thumbs.

What is your favorite Claire's mood changing polish so far? Have you bought any backups?
