when i first saw the above image, i knew immediately that i had to find a salon to have those nails done on myself.
it turned out to be a pretty fun field trip after a stressful day of work with meghan, all the way to manchester, NH (who goes to manchester?!) The girl doing our nails was super nice, which was great considering my tom-tom got me lost twice and made us a half hour late. our nails took an hour for each of us, and looked absolutely fabulous when they were done.
HOWEVER, she really needs to work on her technique. really, it's just a glorified sticker that's heat-seat onto your nails. after a day, the edges start to unstick and curl up. the next day at the movies, i was chewing on the stickers and peeling them off. my sweater fuzz was sticking to them and grossing me out.
they lasted me about 1.5 days. i guess, according to reviews, if you get them on your toes they should last closer to three weeks. but with washing your hands in hot water constantly, putting them under hand dryers, and just day to day wear and tear, they don't last a long time. but man! in the short time they were on my fingers, i got so many compliments i couldn't even keep track of them. people were amazed at how cool they looked. i admit, the pattern was pretty wild and it was hard to not notice them.
the verdict? i'd do them again, from a different nail salon, knowing that they'll only look good for about 2 days. super fun and trendy! after all, all the celebrities are getting them!!
