Kiss Everlasting French Manicure

Hey everyone!  Now that school is out and I've had time to unwind a bit, I'm ready to jump back into blogging.  I have a lot of things lined up to write about this summer, and hopefully you're ready to get back into the swing of reading my blog!  First thing, I want to tell you that I signed up at this really cool website called Influenster.  Basically, they are looking for people to review products.  I have officially qualified for what they call a VoxBox, and the product I am reviewing today was one of the promotional items I received.  While the product was given to me, this has in no way influenced my opinions.  Just wanted to clear that up before we begin.

So...nails!  I've always had issues with my nails.  I am a classic nail biter.  I've spent a ton of money at various salons getting acrylic nails because I just couldn't stop biting my own.  I go through phases where I grow my own nails out and really take care of them, but, inevitably, I break down and let them have it.  So I've tried my fair share of fake press-on/glue-on type nails.  I've never been a big fan of these cheaper alternatives to salon visits.  For this reason, I wasn't too thrilled to see the following item in my VoxBox:
However, I was curious about all the claims on the packaging: guaranteed no chip; stronger, longer wear; self-tabs for easy application; won't chip, crack or wear away for 7 day of normal wear.  Also, the box proclaimed that these nails were "real short," which is what I look for in a nail.  The people at the salon would always joke me about how short I wanted my nails, but, honestly, I do a lot with my hands and longer nails would just get in my way.

I decided to give these nails a try, and I'm glad I did!  I'm actually wearing the nails now as I type this, so I'm happy to report that they are indeed short enough to not interfere with my daily activities.  While the application process itself was just like all the other glue-on nails that I've tried, the little self-tabs were a big help in getting the nails centered before pressing them down.  Overall, it was a much easier process than I've experienced before.

These are the lovely finished products!  I'm very pleased with the way they turned out, and I really think they look just as good as when I get my nails done at the salon.  I've only had them on a little while, but they feel very secure, unlike other types of nails I've tried in the past.  I'll keep you updated on whether or not they last for the whole seven days.  However, if I do break one, there are a ton left in the package, so I can easily make any needed repairs.  I really think this is a nail product worth your money, so be sure to check it out!

Have you tried these nails before?  If so, let me know in the comment box below.  I'd love to hear your opinions on this product!  Until next time, peace and love!
