Kiss everlasting French Manicure

In a previous post, I explained a little about Influenster and my involvement with them. One of the items I received in my Spring VoxBox were Kiss Everlasting French Manicure nails.  I was able to finally use them and will now give my full, honest opinion and how I put them on.  (I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes). Please view my Spring VoxBox post on how to participate in Influenster and other programs they offer! It's free to join for anyone!

When I first opened the package, I noticed there were different sizes so you can custom fit any finger nail. Each size has a partner nail. (Two pieces for each size) They are numbered on the 'easy application tip' for reference and ease of application. Along with the artificial nails there is glue to adhere the nail to your actual nail.  You can't first see all the nails in the package, but after opening the clear plastic piece the others are lying in a square dip in the back. Also included in the opposite side of the clear pack is a small nail file and a wooden cuticle pusher to help prep your nails prior to application.

To begin, I first measured each artificial nail up against my real nail to see what piece would fit properly.  It's easier to do your nails quicker if you have already set them aside and know which artificial nail will go on your real nail, versus gluing one on and then finding the next, gluing that on, etc, etc.  After finding what pieces I would use on my nails, I trimmed my nails to the appropriate length for this type of manicure. These Kiss nails are short length, perfect for everyday wear and a busy lifestyle. I then filed my nails and made my nail bed smooth so the glue would adhere better and hold the artificial nail.

Having prepped the artificial nails already, the application time was a breeze. It didn't take long at all for me to complete my manicure.  I put a couple dots of nail glue on my real nail and then picked up the artificial nail from the tip and placed on my nail. I pressed down on the nail for about ten seconds per nail to ensure it was stuck. When the nail is stuck, I then took the tip off.  The tip of the nail really helps with holding the nail and making sure it's properly placed onto your nail. You gently bend the tip back and forth for it to come off.

After completing both sets of hands, I used the nail file included to gently file the tip of the artificial nail to get rid of any bumps that may have happened due to bending the 'guide tip' off the nail.

 

 I must say I was quite impressed with the ease of doing this at home manicure. It was a lot less time than I would have spent at the nail salon.  The nails look quite nice, and truly look like salon quality.  These would be great for someone attending a special event, or just want a fun night out and don't want the hefty price tag of a salon manicure.  Also, these do not damage your nails like acrylics do! This product retails for around $6.49 with is a ton less than a salon manicure which ranges from $25-$35. 

So far I have had the nails on for 6 days and have no problems with them coming loose or chipping.  I haven't had to break out the extra glue or extra nails to fix any problems. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone seeking a quick manicure without the fuss and cost of a salon. 

Take back control of your life and your TIME with Kiss Everlasting French Manicure!
