Review (3/5): Meh...
I like false nails, but I don’t like really long ones. When I saw these looked short, I thought they’d be great! I wasn’t too sure about the diamond gemstones on them. I was a little worried they would look too gaudy, for my taste at least. But, the images of the nails on the hands in the product photos they didn’t look too bad, the ones on the thumbs seemed a little big but I figured that was okay.
So, I get them and see the diamond gemstones seem way bigger than they do in the product photos. But, I figure they’re worth a try anyways!
It took me FOREVER to sort them into their separate sizes. Of course, when I was laying them out to take the photos of them, I noticed that the plastic part you pull off the nail to reveal the adhesive have numbers on them 🤦‍♀️ Wish I would have seen them when I went to apply them! The instructions say NOTHING about them having numbered labels. And, the numbers are REALLY hard to see. So if you don’t have perfect eyesight, you might have a really hard time! I have perfect eyesight and still had trouble. I showed in a photo the best I could the number on one of the nails. That one is labeled 2. In the photo I have with them all separated and labeled, so maybe it will help someone avoid the headache of figuring it out!
The nails themselves I feel are kind of small and the thumbs I think are too big. Like my fingers aren’t too big. The 0 ones were too big for my thumbs. I had to go with the 1 ones. But then the 2 were too small for my middle finger. The 1 ones fit good, but there was only 3 of them and I was already going to use 2 of them for my thumbs. So I had to use the 0 ones for my thumbs which were too big, so they looked weird. I feel like only having 3 of each size isn’t enough. I wore these before taking the photo showing them all separated. I kept the ones I had worn and taken off to include them in their size group. Having only 3 of each size, if one size fits 2 different fingers, you’d need 4 so you wouldn’t have enough, which is an issue I had.
I don’t like that there’s only 2 sizes with nothing on them, both tiny, pinkie kind of size nails. Usually when I wear something - gems, designs, etc. on my nails, I either have the designs on my ring and pointer finger, just my ring finger, maybe my thumb as well. But not every finger. But with these you pretty much have to, except for your pinkie. The 2 sizes that have the other design on them (the 5 and 55 ones), those sizes are so darn close that it’s almost impossible to tell the difference. So it doesn’t give much choice to have those on different fingers either. I ended up putting them on my pointer finger. So every finger had a diamond gemstone except for the pointer fingers that had the other design and the pinkies that had nothing.
I like that the set comes with the stick for your cuticles, the nail file, and a alcohol swab. The nail file is great. The nails stick well. I used the cuticle stick to push back my cuticles, filed my nails, and then used the alcohol swab on them. Then I attached the nails. I used them as stick on ones, with the adhesive only. If you wanted them to last longer, you could use glue as well. I just wanted to test them out how they were so I only used the adhesive that’s on each nail. They stuck very well. The only issue I had was the size 1 ones that I used for my middle finger didn’t curve over my middle finger well, so the corner looked like it was sort of lifted. But it still stayed stuck on well and didn’t pop off throughout the 2 days I had them on, doing all the normal things I do every day. They probably would have lasted much longer, but I didn’t want them on anymore. I didn’t like how big the diamond gemstones were. I didn’t like they had the diamond gemstones on so many nails. As I said, I would have preferred only having them on the ring finger, maybe pointer finger, possibly thumb. But not all. I didn’t like the ones on my thumbs (the 0’s) looked so big since I had to use those on my thumbs instead of the 1’s since I had to use those on my middle fingers.
Overall, for $15.20 (at the time of writing this review), I don’t think they’re worth it at all. If you feel your fingers are the right size to have better options when choosing sizes, if you like bigger gemstones, if you like gemstones on pretty much every nail, then you would probably really enjoy these. Like I said, they apply well and stick well. But, if you’re like me and don’t like big gemstones on your nails and don’t like gemstones on pretty much every nail, then these probably aren’t for you. Honestly, I can get a set that has more size options and designs I really like at the drugstore for way less. So these just aren’t for me!
