Kiss Everyday French Nail Kit in Capable


I know what your thinking: "Press-on nails? Are you for real, Glossy?"

Yes, I'm for real, and you've got to try these nails to know what I'm talking about!

Kiss Everyday French Nail Kit in Capable are perfect for anyone who shuns acrylic nails (way too thick) but needs major help in the nail department. The Kiss nails resemble silk wraps, which are thin and look like real nails.

But, instead of dropping $40 every couple weeks and spending upwards of an hour chatting with the nail tech, Kiss takes nails from yikes to a Perfect 10 in under ten minutes for under $5.

There are a lot of different Kiss nail styles, but I go with the "Capable"--a peachy looking nail with just a sliver of a French tip, and the "Real Short" length, which means you can change your contacts without losing an eyeball.

These nails can be worn for up to ten days, and while you might need to replace one or two along the way, they go the distance.

Friends will think you've had your nails done professionally in a salon, and whether or not you fess up is up to you! (In fact, it was a friend's nails I was admiring who let me in on the secret!)

When picking out your nail size from the kit, go with the size smaller if you're in between sizes (the fit should be a little tight), and hold the nail down firmly for a few seconds after applying it. A too-big nail doesn't look as natural.

FABULOUS suggestion, as always! Quick question though: what is the best way to get them off? One time I lost a significant amount of my nail's top-layer to the glue...

Thanks :)

The safest way to remove the nails is to trim off the tips, file down through the top coat of the nail and soak those babies in some acetone to soften them and then gently work them off with a cotton-covered stick.

I haven't really had too much trouble getting these nails off though. They stay on, but somehow when I'm ready to change them, they come off fairly easily with a little poking and prodding.
