If your like the many woman in America, getting your nails done every 2 weeks is a must! It was a must for me for a long time (try 7 years!). When I got laid-off from my job, I couldn't afford it anymore. 40$ to get them on, and then every 2 weeks from there another 15$ to get them filled?! It pains me to say this, but I couldn't do it anymore. I LOVE having my nails look great, and every time I would see a friend or just someone walking by with their nails looking sharp, I would get so sad I didn't have mine done. I had to come up with a solution! Aside from now, the last time I put on glue-on nails, I was probably 14 years old, but I wanted my nails done so bad, I picked out a box (name I use regularly is above) and found the design I would use most often. Went home, put them on (which took me all of 2 minutes), and WA LA! They looked like I just came out of the salon. And they stayed shiny the whole time!. The only downfall it has is that they pop off in about 7-8 days, which is what the box says on the back. If your at an interview, on a date etc, and you know you've had your nails on for a while and you probably should've put a new pair on, and your nail falls off, it WILL BE EMBARRASSING! Trust me! I had it happen to me (not in a place that it was real serious), but it happened. So now I carry the glue with me just in case. So if you don't want to carry the glue and some nails with you, or just think maybe it's a little tacky, then it's not for you. If your like me, and don't want to pay a ton of money and maybe save it for that night out you've been dying to do, then try it! They have many brands, colors and designs to choose from! Give it a shot....what's to loose other then 6 bucks?
