KISS Gel Fantasy Nail Review


Haven't done a nail review for awhile

Today I'll talk about KISS gel FANTASY ultra smooth finish

I generally go for the French Manicure as I prefer the stark contrast between either the beige or pinkish tone against the white.  I also prefer the straight edge to the curved edge

I've been noticing the trend lately for really out of this world designs and BAM in your face colors. Some frankly too much for me in particular, however, I am warming up to some less statement options

Grabbed this one to review.  I've been wearing them for a few days now.  I'm pretty amazed at the obvious extra product added with the variety of sparkles.  It's only slightly above regular cost to the regular nails

I buy short length nails but found these only come in long.  A bit longer than I would like as I keep nails on for around 3 weeks, that means housework, work and whatever other daily grind my hands go through.

I was a bit worried at first because the sparkles are slightly raised,  If you find any with an edge your concerned with just lightly file it down.  I haven't caught them on any clothing to date.  We'll see how these keep up.  So far other than finding it harder to text its all good.  Ha ha actually realizing why I get such funny texts from people with long nails, hmmm its not because they can't spell!



Remember to keep the glue in your purse and if one should pop off or become loose you can repair on the spot.  You get 24 in a pack which for me gives me two sets of nails, thats 6 weeks wear for under a $10.00 investment

Broadway Fake Nail Review


In my quest for the perfect fake nails I've tried the cheapest version I could find


Why would I do that ... because I believe something does not have to be expensive to be good

BROADWAY is the same company as KISS Products,their cheaper version.  Fine with me, we know how that goes.  Lots of companies have another brand that is less costly

This brand, only $5.47. Yeah!!!!!

Just as the more expensive brands did, they lasted 3 full weeks and come with extra's in case you loose one along the way.  Really this could be called a 6 week review because the kit comes with 24 nails, after the first 3 weeks I replaced both hands with fresh ones and went another 3 weeks!


Funny, for the cheaper brand they also came with more gadgets.  You get a manicure stick and a tool for easy application.  However, it did not come with a buffer?  Oh well, I had one from another kit


The look is not as sheer as their more expensive brand but you would only know that if you put your hand up against a sheer pair.  It's also a preference because lots of people I know go for the matte pink color on purpose




I mentioned in my last review of fake nails that I also prefer to buy a more substantial glue than the one in the kit, gets too jammed up

love them!

Nailene Fake Nail Review


I used to get my nails professionally done and just loved them!  Don't get me wrong, I can grow lovely long nails, its the French Manicure that rocks my world.  If you do it on your own nails it will only last a few days then start to chip away. I detest unkempt nails

I just loved looking down and seeing my pretty nails

Since I cut them out of my budget I have missed them dearly.  One day at work I noticed my friends beautiful nails and was surprised to find out they were glue on's. Frankly I never even thought of this as a viable option

Being the frugal one I did not go with the brand my friend suggested but went with the less costly version Nailene




They look very natural and lasted up to 3 full weeks. Not bad for $8.88

They would have lasted even longer. I took them off only because I wanted to put on a fresh pair for an upcoming trip I was taking abroad




They are also surprisingly durable. I found they can split near the top from time to time however you get extras in your kit so easily replaced.  Now keep in mind you can pay a little more and get ones that are split resistant, I'll review them at a later date

One word of advice, you get a glue applicator in the kit you buy but I chose to buy a separate more substantial Nailene glue that I keep with me at all times. If one pops off for any reason I'm ready to re glue in an instant. I find the one in the kit just gets too bunged up and doesn't spread as evenly because you have to cut the tip

Loving Nailene, you'll never see me in the salon again!
