I have only ever tried press-ons once in my life and they lasted all of an hour before pinging off. I've had acrylics once and whilst they looked nice, they completely ruined my nails so press-on always seem like a great idea but after my initial experience I was really put off. Fortunately this new experience is a lot better :)
I was given the opportunity to try a couple of sets of Kiss nails just recently and I thought I'd give these swanky Dita Von Teese ones a go first.
Kiss is available in both Boots and Superdrug in the UK and the brand sell a wide variety of products from false nails and nail art items to lashes and lash serum.
These sexy red nails show Dita's trademark ruffian manicure and would look great if you wanted something a little special for Valentine's day. They are available here for $9.99 or roughly £6.00.
Each set contains 24 nails of varying sizes, a wooden orange stick and a tube of pink glue. I was a little surprised, and disappointed, to see that a mini nail file hadn't been included especially since some of the smaller sizes have the "Self-Tab".
I like the look of these nails mostly because there is no way I'd be able to achieve a decent "half-moon" freehand. I have enough issues just painting my nails the regular way!
I really like how the length of these elongated my hands and as the tips are more round, they don't make my fingers look like they've been cut off.
I'm not overly keen on the colour against my skintone, is it just me or they just look everso slightly not quite right? If these came in a deep dark navy with a taupey gold half moon I'd buy a ton and never take them off! Although I think I'd need to re-train myself on how to type :s
These were super easy to apply, held up well and were easy to remove. The only downsides for me was the lack of a handy dandy nail file and the length of them, it's just something I'm not used to.
Have you guys sorted out your Valentine's manicures yet?

I found them a little vampy for my taste but I like the idea of the ruffian manicure. At least this way you can try it without the hassle of having to paint it yourself!

Pretty cool... Gorgeous colour.
ReplyDeleteI love the shimmery bit, just not sold on the red against my skintone :)
