Elegant Touch Glitter Nails in Razzle Dazzle - pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I really like the fake nails from Elegant Touch. In the past I reviewed their Trend Nails in Lace and their Kimmie Kyess nails in Green Glitter. In this post I'll show you their Glitter Nails, which I have in Razzle Dazzle. They do come with adhesive tabs, but I prefer to use nail glue to keep them on longer. Check out my full review, including all the product info, after the pics!

Glitter, glitter everywhere - dazzle and shimmer with these gorgeous Elegant Touch multi-hued glitter nails. Super adhesive tabs are included for application and will give fantastic results for up to one week when applied according to instructions. For longer lasting nails you can use a nail glue.

Kit includes 24 nails in 10 sizes, adhesive tabs, buffer and instructions.

I like Elegant Touch's fake nails. I think they come in a great length - they're short but not stumpy. I don't like really long nails, but sometimes I want some length to my nails. This is an easy option for when I want some additional length and no-fuss.

I will use the adhesive tabs sometimes, but I much prefer to use a glue. However, If I only want to wear them for one day I'll just use the tabs - such as a date night out and realizing I didn't do my nails; this is an easy way to get pretty nails in a hurry.

Overall, I've enjoyed all the Elegant Touch fake nails I've tried and would recommend checking them out!

Elegant Touch Envy Wraps Bling in Dotty Hot Pink - pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I have tried other Elegant Touch Envy Wraps in the past - the Silver Bengal Metallic - and I did like them. I actually like them a lot more than the Bling Wraps for Fingers & Toes and I'll tell you why in my review below, after the pics - but you'll probably be able to see that a fit issue was at play. If it wasn't for the fit, these would be super cute and wonderful.

A quick and easy, glamorous way to extend fashion to your fingertips - or toes! Each set includes 18 designed 3D wraps for fingers and toes. Quick application with no dry time. Just press, file and go! Perfect nails up to 5 days. Available in other styles.

I have tried other Elegant Touch Envy Wraps in the past - the Silver Bengal Metallic - and I did like them. I actually like them a lot more than the Bling Wraps for Fingers & Toes and I'll tell you why...

I had a big issue with fit. There are 18 wraps included in the Bling Wraps, where as with the regular Envy Wraps you get 24. Not only do you get 6 less, but because they're for both fingers and toes you get less sizes to choose from as well. I also don't understand how you could use them on both fingers and toes with only 18 wraps included - as most people have 10 fingers and 10 toes. Sure, you could use the excess from what you use on your fingers to use on your toes - or just choose: fingers or toes - but I would think they would include more so you could get double duty out of them.

Now if you put aside getting less wraps and the sizing/fit issue, I really would love these. The style I have - Dotty Hot Pink - is super cute. They go on easy and last almost a week looking good. I just had a problem personally with the fit - as you can see if the photos they just don't look right as they weren't wide enough for my fingernails (and I don't have wide nails).

I still went ahead and had these on my nails for a few days before I decided to switch to another set of Elegant Touch Envy Wraps - the regular kind.

I do love the styles of these wraps - but I think for fingernails they aren't the best suited for me. Maybe just for my toes would be a better option. I wouldn't recommend these for your fingers, but I would say give them a try on your toes.

Elegant Touch Trend Nails in Lace - pics, review


Hello, Beautiful!

Who doesn't love quick and easy-to-use nail related items? I know I do! The Elegant Touch Trend Nails offer seven new designs for pretty length and design. I have them in Lace - which I'll show you in this post - and Pink Leopard. I think I'd like to get the Feather design too! Read my full review below after the pics!

Have fun and add some glamour to your look with Elegant Touch's on-trend nails. Inspired by fashion and celebrity trends, Elegant Touch brings you exciting designs. UV Gel technology provides that added benefit of a salon gel, meaning the nail won't scratch and the nail stays bright and strong for the entire wear.

Available in Lace (shown in this post), Pink Leopard (which I also own and will likely show in the future), Pink Star, Rainbow Leopard, Pink Sky, Feather, and Purple Zebra.

I love easy-to-use nail items, and sometimes my nails just won't grow but I want some length. These fake nails are super easy to use and look nice.

They come with adhesive tabs, which are okay if you're just wanting to wear them for a day or two - but if you want longer wear from these then I definitely suggest you use a nail glue. The tabs are pretty good at keeping your nails on, but after a day one nail had popped off. I tried to put it back on with another adhesive tab but it came off again. I ended up taking them all off after 2 days; next time I'll use nail glue for sure!

Usually if I use adhesive tabs with fake nails I can get more than one use from them, but that wasn't the case with these. When I pulled them off the nails bent out of shape. It was weird; it was like they got soft. At least they were easy to come off!

Even though these are "short", I still filed them down more to a length that was more workable for me (aka, so I could text super easy still and dip into cream shadow pots, lol). To clean up the edges after I filed them down I just painted the edges with black polish - but use any polish color that goes with the design you have. Black just happened to look nice with these.

The little number things attached to the nails break off really easily and cleanly - which is nice because it does help apply them easier and then they still look nice after that is removed.

I do like these for special occasions  or quick date-night nails when you're in a rush - but I do think using nail glue is the way to go with these.

Elegant Touch Kimmie Kyees Nails in Green Glitter - pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

The brand Elegant Touch has made their USA launch of products and one of them is their Kimmie Kyees Nails. These ready-to-wear fake nails are inspired by the styles Kimmie Kyees, a celebrity nail technician. Includes adhesive tabs for easy and quick application.

Elegant Touch Nails teamed up with celebrity nail technician Kimmie Kyees to create a line of fake nails - which come with adhesive tabs for press-on use. Inspired by the styles Kimmie creates for her long list of celeb clients.

Currently available in 4 styles: Green Glitter (shown in this post), Red Glitter, Pink Glitter, and Pink Polka Dot. Includes 24 fake nails in each box.

The adhesive tabs are easy to use. They can hold the fake nails on for up to 7 days. Of course you can use nail glue if you prefer, but using the adhesive tabs will allow you to get multiple uses from one set of the fake nails.

The length of these nails is a little long for what I typically prefer - but they aren't insanely long. They're a nice length that will flatter your hands. You could wear them either way: with the rounded edge at your cuticle  which would give you a square tip, or with the square end at your cuticle which would give you a rounded, almond tip.

The style I have, Green Glitter, is a really pretty green. Nice and sparkly; it reminds me of a certain polish I own but I can't put my finger on it. I think it sort of reminds me of the SinfulColors polish in Nail Junkie or Atlantis. That's probably what I was thinking of. Regardless of what it reminds me of, these ready-to-go faux nails are great for anytime use.

Great for last-minute need for pretty nails -- especially if you're like me and have problems keeping your nails all one length. Quick and easy to apply.

The adhesive tabs holds nicely; I suggest pressing down and holding for at least 10 seconds to really make sure the nail and the adhesive combine nicely. I did find the adhesive tab size didn't match up all that great with the fake nail shape. It was noticeable around my cuticle on certain nails if I put the adhesive tab up too high. You can also see it hanging over the edge of my pinky nail; which if that happens to you all you need to do is trim it up. I did find the adhesive tabs to be a little thick, so those on top of your nails plus the fake nails made the fake nails look extra fake and also thick. I think these would be best applied with nail glue (I also plan to shorten them a bit).

I do think these are a nice fake nail option at an affordable price; especially if you use the adhesive tabs (which would give you two uses with the included tabs). You could buy more adhesive tabs or use nail glue; so you can get at least 2 to 3 uses out of these depending on how rough you are with them when wearing them.

I recommend checking these out!
