Review (4/5): Instant glamour
I really like these press on toenails for special occasions in the summer.
After you finish a pedicure, you can glue these on, then slip into your favorite open toed shoes.
I would just keep three things in mind before ordering these...
1st, sizing is tricky. Turns out toenails vary widely in shape and size.
I was able to make my set work, but one of the nails looks wonky.
If you were getting these for a hugely important event like a wedding, I might order the two sizes closest to your toes just to make certain you could get an absolutely perfect fit.
2nd, these do not last as long as press on fingernails (at least not for me).
I am lucky if I can get these through a whole day without needing to reattach one of these nails.
To be fair, I am a bit of a klutz.
That being said, I think it's more a product of how much wear and tear most feet get on an average day.
You also tend to hit your foot harder, so one stubbed toe and you're going to have an issue.
The good news is these are super easy to reattach, plus you get a few spares to replace any nails that are completely lost.
3rd, preparation is critical to getting the most out of these nails.
Getting or giving yourself a pedicure before applying these is not just about making sure your feet look their best, the cleaning and buffing is necessary to get the best bond from the glue tabs.
You do get a little file to help you with this; though honestly, most people will prefer to use their own tools.
I really like these as a way to show off shoes and feet.
Attaching them takes very little time and the end result is quite elegant.
Still, I would consider these best for special occasions, not every day.
