I've bought these beautiful nails in a nude colouring with a girly yet fashionable, classy glitter print by "Elegant- Touch" (more here) after a recommendation by a friend. I used them for our party last friday to set a light statement by using simple accessories. I wasn't convinced at first because they looked rather plastique and dull in the packaging or maybe I was to skeptical in my own ability to pull them off because I always used to be a believer on the natural side of things.

The package included 24 nails and only cost me around 7 € which I think is a really fair deal considering that there are nails out there that cost double, are half of the product, hold half their promises and don't have a glue in there as well. 

Elegant Touch has many more designs for every purpose, latest colouring and styles everything my heart would desire, so it's at least worth to have a look and I am pretty sure you won't be disappointed.

So putting them on was really easy, there is a glue in there that I used and I simply put that on my entire nail and pressed the nail on top for a minute. The whole procedure took me 12 minutes in total which is way faster than painting my nails and waiting for them to dry. 

Also the form of the nails fit my actual nail which stunned me. I did not have to prepare them to fit my nail. Maybe it is because I have stereotype nails in which case I am lucky but I read other reviews that said the same. No they did fit perfectly which made it very easy for me as a beginner.

As for how long they lasted. The packaging promised that the nails would hold up to 12 days which I thought was a bit "too much" to promise. I decided for myself that I would be happy if they lasted 7 days.

In the end 6 of them did last the week and the other four fell off during the week. Now I do not know if it was because of my poor glueing skills (because under these I saw air) or because of my using my hands more than usual because I was moving, packing up and lifting things. 

I will definitely have another try with the remaining nails and update this post on this point.

Hello Everyone! 

I was surfing around Pinterest last week and I found this lovely picture of nail art Ideas. I see women pretty much everyday with their acrylic nails and I have to lie when I say that I wouldN#t be a tiny bit jealous of their always flawless looking nails. Especially now at such a stressful time school wise, where I do not have enough time to do mine. 

Anyway I thought about the idea of getting my nails done but I want them to say healthy and not ruin them with chemistry. Rambling on, I have found a possible way to get at least more personalized nails which are made by you. 

So if you are interested in doing some nail art with you own nails then keep on reading

You are going to need a toothpick and the colours you like to have on your nails. 

For leapard nails you will need at least two. 

You spill a drop of each on a peach of paper and with draw dots of that one colour and then turn around the toothpick and conture the dots with the other colour. 

Done.

How cool is that? Of course it is really hard work and you need a lot of concentration but then you can at least say you have done you nails yourself, saved 70 € and it's originally, made by you. But please do not forget a Gel- Lacquer or something similar. You will not be happy if your work is looking ill after only a day and half of the design already flies around the world as dirt.

I thought I was a really great idea and I will try the design as soon as I find the time! I hope you liked it as well.

If you consider doing them, please feel comfortable enough to send me a picture of your results, I am curious.
