Again, I used my awesome sister to model some nails from Revlon's Runway collection. She chose the Stella design which is an off-white tip with a white crisscross/fishnet/lattice design. I personally thought these were cute and were a refreshing twist on the classic French tip. I even tried them on:
My natural nail is almost the same color of the fake nail...do they look natural to you? I would have liked the bottom of the nail to be more transparent. Also, with these, my sister also complained that she had to use more glue than normal so that they would stay. However, as you can see in the first picture, you can hardly see the air bubbles underneath the nails. I loved the way she applied the nails on her own hands so much that I asked her to apply mine as well. I noticed that she put glue on both the press on nail and my natural nail, as the directions stated. I asked her to just put a little glue on my natural nail because I knew that when she applied them, the glue was going to spread anyway. I didn't want glue to be noticeable under the nail.I didn't think that I would be so enamored with press-on nails now but I am, even after the first set. I was quite worried about whether they would be flat enough but they were. Don't get me wrong - I don't mind waiting at the nail salon for someone to shape, moisturize and beautify. However, with the Revlon nails, I can apply them in minutes. I don't have to worry about waiting in line. I don't have to worry if the nail tech will nip the skin underneath the half-moon of my nails. I don't have to sort through nail colors and wonder if the polish is blatantly old or relatively new. I also don't have to remember to tell the nail tech to apply a little more gel acrylic at the bottom of my nails because last time, I didn't even make it home before I noticed that I had chipped my nail! More reasons to love these?
Of course, there were some setbacks. The thumbnail was too wide while the smallest in the pack did not cover my pinky nail completely. At first glance, you wouldn't noticed. However, if you viewed the side of my nail, you'd able to see my natural nail peeking through. You'd be able to see this with several nails. As I type this review, half of the nails are missing - two came off while I was typing, one popped off in the shower, and after moving a couple of boxes, two went MIA. This is the third day and I don't know if I will glue them back on or move apply a different set from the Naturally Chic collection. They're supposed to last for a week so I might just suck it up and glue them back on. I received nail styles from the Runway and Naturally Chic collections.
Even though they are beautiful, I would not feel comfortable wearing them at work because of the glue. It's not as strong as I had hope. In the picture, you can see the outline of the glue underneath of my nails...just noticed that! I am thinking about hitting up Sally Beauty and using their glue with these nails. Also, I noticed that some of the nails chipped. It's not noticeable though. If the design was molded on, I doubt that it would have rubbed off. I'll definitely be replacing these nails though.
Overall, Revlon Runway Collection Nails aren't bad but you probably will have to experiment with different nails styles and glue to find a style that looks natural on you. The next review that I do, I'll be testing the Ella style from the Naturally Chic collection.
Your thoughts? Have you tested these out yet?
These nails are so great! They dont look fake, and their perfect for when you don't want to pay tons of money to get your nails done. Not to mention it doesnt take too much time to put them on! They even come in all different colors. I would highly recommend these to anyone!
