Who Knew?

I like to look nice, but I'm not the kind of person who spends a whole lot of time working on it. My style is pretty simple. My hair is easy to manage. Recently, I decided to try a press-on nail. My daughter has been putting on nails for years. I could not imagine it and thought I would hate how they felt. Then, one of my friends at work showed me her nails. They were short, simple, and easy to put on and take off. I thought it was worth a try. So I did. I started with a pair of light purple-ish/grey. The official color was actually "purple veil." They were beautiful. I was in love. 


I was shocked at how much I loved them. I gave my mom daily updates on how they were doing, whether they were staying put, and whether I still liked them, and every day was a shock. All ten stayed on and looked great. 

This was day three of wearing the first set of nails. 



I kept them on for about six days and then gave my nails time to breathe. But I was hooked. What would be next? 


I love the nails. 
And now I have more awaiting their turn. Purple veil, some pink, more French, some sparkly nude, and a blue swirl--so much variety. I don't even know when I'm going to wear all these nails, but I'm definitely going to have some choices for a while!

  2. Sounds fun! I once tried some and they didn't work for me. My sister mentioned a brand that she likes that aren't too long-team short nails here. Yours look great! I'm all for something sparkly. I've been using the nail polish strips, and am currently in the letting my nails breathe stage. I have the next set ready. Here's to a great mani!

  3. How fun! What brand do you use? I have done gel nails forever, but recently, my nails were ruined, so I can't do gel right now. I hate the look of naked nails. Yours look great!

  4. Literally who knew? I have eschewed the effort and image of press-on nails so far but your post is making me think again. I might actually like them. I may look into the matter this weekend. Thanks for the unexpected and inspiring nudge.
