Product Appreciation || Primark Nails

On a day where effort is completely off limits, a good set of talons can prevent you from looking like you've just dragged yourself from a skip after a few too many sambucas. 

A manicure is a wonderful thing but I'm far too much of a commitment-phobe for the upkeep that gels and acrylic demand. Instead, I'm rather partial to press on nails!

Usually I tend to buy the Elegant Touch stilleto nails, which are great, but I have to paint them (boooooo). 

To indulge my laziness, I picked up Primark's nail offering, all pre painted and jazzy looking! I'm pretty impressed with them; with plenty of variety on the nail sizes, this easy to apply and long lasting set more than holds it's own against similar products. There were a huge range of shapes, lengths, colours and designs so I'm definitely going to bulk buy on my next visit!

Easy Peasy Manicure

Elegant Touch Fake Nails in Stiletto 003

About a year back I put myself on an acrylics ban. I wore them constantly for nearly 2 years and as a result, my natural nails were damaged. 

In an attempt to repair my talons,I have worn nothing but polish on them ever since but you just can't achieve the perfect cat claws without a little help and that's where fake nails have been a god send.

There are enough nails for 2 full applications in each pack. Glue and a small emery board is included making it as easy as can be.

Simply select a nail that will fit your natural nail and apply some glue. Ensure the nail is positioned straightly and press down firmly for around five seconds to bond. Repeat until you have a full set. The manicure will stay intact for around a week (tried and tested)!

Now all you have to do is slick on your favourite hue and you're good to go. How about this beautiful holographic nail varnish from 17? 

The Perfect Valentine's Nail Colour

It's nearly Valentines, so time to get those talons prepped for that ever possible finger bling that every girl secretly hopes for. I'm a traditionalist and firmly believe that red, the signature colour of love, is the only choice for V day!

This Barry M polish in Bright Red has got me coming over all heart eye emoji at the moment. It's a beautiful, bright, Postbox red that would suit any skin tone!

Give it a try!
