No Bullshit Beauty Review: Elegant Touch Press on Nails 7 day Manicure

Happy Monday, everyone! 

I thought I would give you a quick "low-down" on the nails I Instagrammed over the weekend (can I use that as a verb?) 

I popped into Boots for nail glue originally, as I had some Primark French polish nails I wanted to use, but the glue had solidified waaay back when. I was instantly attracted to all the bright fun nails in the Elegant Touch range, that just so happened to be on 3 for 2.

Initially I wanted the Ice cream nails that the lovely lady at the Fashion For Lunch blog has shown off. But I settled for something plain and bright instead, in the pink. I also bought some black ones, shown below.

Application was relatively easy, though the little sticky peel off things are a bit tricky - I'd suggest taking them off ALL the nails BEFORE you start applying, otherwise it just gets fiddly.

Now although they looked amazing, I have to take issue with the 7 days point - It is now Monday and I applied them on Saturday morning. I had to remove them last night (Sunday) because the colour tips had started to flake - I have no idea why they would make the base of the nail so thick and strong, and the tips so thin and weak. They need to be the strongest part, as they are most likely to come into contact with hard surfaces!

I'll be keeping back my set of black nails for an occasion - although they were a little on the flimsy side at the tips, the adhesive was solid, so I can't fault them in that department.

For my next extra-adventurous forray into nails, I might be tempted by these bad boys! Lego!!!

I think now that I have some decent nail glue I can go and buy out Primark's super cute nails collection - at £1 a pop, it's a no brainer.(Blog post to follow I suppose!)

Thanks for reading!
