Back in the day as a wee nail-biter, I used to fantasize about having long, elegant nails. I was especially envious of acrylic nails...I wanted a perfect french manicure. My parents were (and still are) very frugal, so there was no way my middle school nails were getting done at a salon. My cousin obtained a Fing'rs press-on nails kit, thus my quest for the perfect (plastic) manicure began.
I had the same issues at 24 with these nails like I did with the Fing'rs nails I used at 12: they're too curved. My nails are flatter, so I get dreaded bubbles. As you can see, only my pinky nail escaped that fate, but with only 24 nails a pack, you only get one shot to get them glued on correctly. Considering that this is a repeated problem for me; is it just me or do I need a dunce cap? Please heed that this is someone who has trouble with her Bumpits.
Check out the detail though...I'm impressed! These aren't the staid French manicures of my youth. I wish they did work out better for me; if anything for the gorgeous designs!
One last thing: I wish these came with the adhesive stickers as well as the glue. I've never been a fan of nail glue since it requires acetone to soak it off. The less damage to natural nails, the better, I say. Other than that, it's a lot quicker, cheaper and will damage your nails a lot less than acrylics, so it's a nice change of pace.

omg, how'd you get these to look so good on your nails?! One of my problems is they never look good around my cuticle area.
I kinda tuck them in around my cuticles.
the kiss everlasting french come in flat. I only had 1 tiny air bubble with those. since i took my acrylics off these have become my "holy grail" until my real nails are grown out.
These are a really gorgeous looking nails. I'm glad the person ahead of me remembered the brand that came in flat. I remember reading about them that they came in flat or curved. I always wanted to buy the fakes nails too. My Mother was not about to waste money on them.
