Elegant Touch press-on nails review

Hey guys,

Today I thought I'd review the 'Elegant Touch Smudge Matte Finish' press-on nails.

The picture above shows what the pack includes.

It includes 24 nails (not all are in the box as I took the picture after applying them), 24 adhesive tabs and an instruction leaflet.

I found the application to be really easy as it is so simple and doesn't require a lot of fuss!

All you have to do is find the right size adhesive tab(which is like double sided tape) shape to fit your nail, place it on your natural nail, peel off a layer that reveals a sticky surface in order to place your nails onto. Then after finding the right size and placing a fake nail onto your natural nail, press down for a couple of seconds and you're done!

This is the finished look:

After going a week with these nails I have found they last for a couple of days before starting to unstick

However, I'm sure nail glue would extend their stay for a longer period of time but for me, this was fine as I wanted them for a night out but the fact they stayed on for longer impressed me. Also, as the pack includes 24 adhesive tabs, I have been able to reapply some of them.

Overall I am happy with the outcome of the nails and this has made me want to buy more colours as they also haven't done any major damage to my nails either! I am quite a lazy person aswell and don't normally paint my nails as it's too time consuming!

I hope this review has been helpful and let me know if you have tried Elegant Touch press-on nails and what your outcome was.

Thanks for reading

Coping with a new change

Hey guys,
In my last post I promised I'd let you know how my time at Uni is going and I thought as it's been a while since I've written a post as I've just finished my first very busy term!

Before I went to University, the thing I struggled with the most, was meeting new people as I was always so useless at it! Finding something to talk about along with finding other interesting topics in order to keep the conversation flowing, I was just terrible!

However, since starting University, I've found my confidence rise a bit and found I can talk to people a bit more comfortably now without worrying about what to say with an awkward atmosphere hanging in the air around us.

I've met so many new people whom I've got to know and are all lovely. I think the fact that everyone was so determined to make friends in order to avoid sitting in their rooms all the time helped everyone out a little bit.

The first day I got there was awful. Both me and my parents were in tears as this was all such a big step for me to take, I couldn't believe what I was doing to be honest and just wanted to go home where I felt most comfortable. The hardest part, apart from saying goodbye to my parents, was putting on a confident front in order to make as many friends as I could as the last thing I wanted was to be sitting in my room in fear of stepping outside.

Putting on this confident front helped me alot as I became immediate friends with my flatmates first as we're all living together and the last thing I would've wanted is to have an enemy with somebody I'm living with! They're all so lovely though and make me smile so what more could I ask for? :)

Then there was obviously my course friends who are all lovely aswell it shocked me to find everyone being so nice!

The first 2 weeks, including freshers, I didn't think about home one bit. However, the last couple of weeks of the term I began to feel stressed due to lots of work needing to be in all at the same time, this then led to being homesick and I phoned my mum more often for her comfort. I am now home for Christmas and missing my friends but making the most of being at home for 3 weeks as I missed it so much before going back for my second term!
