NaileneSo Natural Everyday Nails, Natural Look, Short, Pink French

The paint at the top tends to scratch off too easily, especially if you paint designs on top of them. The bottom edges are VERY thin, which is great because they look very natural. But if you are like me and have very square nail beds and need to file them into the correct shape before applying them to your nails, be careful because they will break and split easily. This came with many extra nails in different sizes, great for people with odd nail shapes.

I have been using artificial nails for 20 years. Nailene has been a decent brand historically, however, the last 4 packs I have bought have left me quite disappointed.The nails are fine…..but the glue is HORRIBLE. It bubbles up as it sets, and this adds air and pocketing beneath the artificial nail after it has been placed. Two hours after applying them, they are flipping off my fingers as if there were no glue at all. And I had applied extra this time to try and avoid the nails coming off prematurely.I tested the glue on a plastic pad, and it dries the exact same….the smooth glue liquid turns into bubbles as it sets.Plus, when the nails come off, you have this rough textured, bulky, dried glue stuck all over the nail bed…..very unlike other nail glues I have used over the years.I thought maybe it was just a manufacturing thing, so I purchased from 3 different sources, but with no difference in the glue quality.I’m giving up on Nailene after YEARS of being a faithful customer. But nails that last a whole 2 hours just aren’t going to work for me.

Only lasted 3 days

I don't use the nail glue - not good for your nails, it weakens them. I use the nail tabs instead, kinda like using command strip adhesives. If you're an active gardener or outdoorsy, but like to dress up when you go out, these nails with the nail tabs are very nice and a good temporary usage.

These french nails looks lovely on, it’s just a shame they only lasted about 2 hours before they started pinging off! Nailene nails are usually a lot better than this.
