Diffused Light
You may be looking at this photo and thinking 'Mmmm, that doesn't look like Jacie's nails'. It might be the fact that they are perfectly shaped (which mine never are) or the fact that there is a fuzzy line between the pink of the nail bed and the white tip (I'm pretty sure angles like that don't happen in nature) that gives it away.
And you'd be right!
I was recently sent some products from Nailene to trial (and some products to giveaway to my readers) and, I must admit, I might be turned around on the whole 'I really hate fake nails' things.
For a start, these are very easy to apply. You guys all know how much I suck at anything beyond 'put polish on hands'. I'm a complete nail art fail. This took me five minutes for both hands.
And, although they are obviously fake upon close inspection, you really can't tell from afar. I wore these out to dinner on Saturday night and everyone commented on how nice my nails were looking. I can totally see how wearing these would become addictive. Who doesn't want perfect nails all the time?
To remove, I soaked a cotton swab in acetone, placed on the nail and wrapped the finger in foil. Within 20 minutes, the nail and glue had completely dissolved. I didn't notice any damage on my nail bed resulting from the nails but I did wait until the nail had completely dissolved so that might have something to do with it.
All up - super impressed. So much so that all of the manicures this week have been done using the Nailene nails.
