I'm so fussy when it comes to nail shape, even when my mate works her magic and does gel overlays on my nails to stop them from being bendy, I file my nails first. If I went to a nail salon I would do the same, some might think it's rude but I just know what I like and would rather have a shape I'm happy with than think 'meh' everytime I look at my nails. Wanting to step out of my comfort zone but not wanting to dabble too much with the shape of my natural nails I grabbed a box of House Of Holland 'Dotty' Falsies. If you've been reading my blog for a while now you'll know I don't do matte nails in any colour other than black, I like a good gloss but with Christmas nearly here I wanted to go for something different than glitter, which is what I always coat my talons in come Christmas.
House Of Holland falsies are really easy to apply IF they fit your nails. I have quite long nail beds but the width, especially my thumbs, is narrow. I managed to make most of the nails work but I had to file away at the thumbnails for ages and as a result, completely ruined the shape. The quality feels good though and the glue seems strong so if you're someone who loves trying out different nail shapes/designs I would recommend them. I'm still not sold on the shape or length, I find it impractical and think my hands look ridiculous to be honest, think it's safe to say I'll be a squoval nail shape girl for life.
What nail shape are you most comfortable with?
House Of Holland Nails, 8.99 from Boots
I'm glad I'm not the only one who files their nails before a manicure. I like the design of these, just not the shape xx
ReplyDeleteThe thought of letting someone else shape my nails tips me over the edge! lol The shape just looks and feels weird on me but atleast I've tried it now and got it out of my system.

These look so cool! Love the mixture of matte black and dots :)

I love the matte black. :) The quality is brilliant, they claim to last upto 10 days, I had to remove them after 10 days cause they'd grown up and left a gap at the base of my nail but I would say they would have lasted another 10 days. The glue is hardcore!
