Nailene Ultra Adhesive Tabs

Hi sweet pea's

Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend.

I was super excited to hear that my fave nail brand 'Nailene' had an alternative to using nail glue. They released their Ultra Adhesive Tabs which retail for approximately £2.99. I bought mine in Superdrug, but they are available in stores nationwide.

Each pack contains 24 water resistant tabs in a variety of sizes, and they are GUARANTEED to last 5 days!!


Upon purchasing these I was expecting them to be really good as Nailene have always been known for their quality products. However; I was slightly disappointed...

The sizes are really small (I have teeny fingers) but the tabs were even smaller than I expected so it didn't cover the entire surface of my nail - once I had applied the my false nails they felt slightly 'flexible' as if one sudden move could rip the nail off.

I will therefore be sticking to my trusty Nailene extra strength nail glue.

Have you tried this product yet, if so what are your thoughts?

In other news, I'd just like to pay tribute to the amazingly talented Amy Winehouse who tragically died yesterday... May God bless her. She was a style icon to many and loved for her infamous 'Back to Black' album which released hit after hit and saw her winning 5 Grammy Awards. Rest In Peace Amy.

Nailene Frenchies

Hi girlies,

I'm bringing you another Nailene post, I love this brand so much they're internationally renowned for creating salon-quality artificial finger nails sold at retail price... what more could a girl want?



The nails I'm wearing in this post are from the 'So Natural' range, number 71004.

They're simples to apply, all you need is a swirl of glue, and a little pressure then hey presto you have affordable gorgeous talons in minutes without the damage of salon enhanced nails.


Nailene are my absolute favourite false nail brand, they have so many designs to choose from, they cater for girls with petite pinkies, they're long lasting and chip resistant too.

I was sent these nails for review, however I always give you my honest opinion!!

Peace & Love

xoxo

Nailene goodies

Hey guys,

Hope you're all winding down from the weekend and having a relaxing Sunday evening.

Just thought I'd give you a bit of an update on my latest obsession... Nailene falsies!!

As I was off for a family soiree to celebrate my recent birthday I decided to hotfoot it down to Boots to preen my nails before hand.

Here's a peek at the goodies I picked up:

Nailene So Natural falsies in 71000 and Nailene Super Glue 77056

So... for under £10 I now have the perfect manicure!

Although I have read lots of reviews on the internet about the Nailene Super Glue not having the lasting power it states, I beg to differ (this is my 2nd bottle). I've truly put my nails to the test this weekend from doing household chores to fiddly tasks like the car boot - not a single nail has budged out of place! The only down side for me is the bubbles that have appeared under my nails which I think is a result of using too little glue?!

I'm really pleased with the outcome - they only took around 10 minutes to apply and DON'T damage the natural nail like Acrylic nails and Gel nails do.

The false nail market has become so popular in the last few years that there are literally hundreds of designs, lengths and shapes to choose from. I'm thrilled that people with 'petite' fingers like myself are now being catered for and are able to purchase nails that fit without having to file them down to size.

As I'm going to be heading to New York in a couple of weeks I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for more Nailene goodies especially the 7123o's as tried and tested by the lovely Milly - they look perfect for doing nail art designs. If you've seen them available in the UK please let me know where.

Thanks for reading

xoxo
