Beauty Review: Forever 21 Press~On Nails

Welcome to my first ever beauty review on The Mod Little Melanin! Today's beauty product under review is Forever 21's Press-On Manicure Nails. They're available in a variety of colors and are only $4.90! I was lucky enough to purchase them on sale for only $2.30 on Black Friday!

The nails are easy to apply; simply take them out of the package, find the acryllic nail that matches your nail shape, and firmly apply the nail. For a secure hold, I applied Kiss Lightening Brush-On Nail Glue before applying the nail, in hopes of extending the wear of my press-on nails.

While these nails are fun, affordable and easy to apply, they are oddly shaped. When I attempted to file the bottom of the nail to make it better fit my nail bed, as you would any other home manicure, the "chrome" of the nail came off. Because the nails are shaped awkwardly, they don't lay flat against my natural nail, and give a raised look on the nail bed.

I lost a nail within the first twenty-four hours which never happens when I apply my Kiss Press-On Nails. I would not recommend these nails for extended wear. I don't believe they'll last longer than three days, and definetly will not last the seven days stated on the packaging.

However, these nails are perfect for short-term wear! They're trendy and affordable and are great for those who work in professions where long nails cannot be worn at work.

I'll stick my Kiss Press-On Manicures in the meantime. 😉
