Teddy Lane Nails Reviews

I love these nails! I tried out the style Belle from the Classic Collection and they are beautiful medium length nude pink nails. They are really easy to apply and they looked stunning! They have lasted a really decent amount of time for glue on nails. I’ve been wearing them for about 5 days now and I only had to touch up the nails twice. Which was easy as you get 24 nails in a pack and lots of the glue. People have been asking me where I got my nails done as they think I’ve gone to a salon to get them done! So these nails really give you that polished, finishing touch! I have already been recommending them to others and I will absolutely buy myself some more of these. I also love that they are vegan and cruelty free!

I was excited to be trialling these nails and actually squealed when they arrived, I chose Runway from the 9-5 Collection which was a sparkly pink colour (totally me!).

Although I have used fake nails before, I made sure to read the easy to follow instructions before applying. The first thing I noticed was the length of the nails as I was finding the right sizes for my fingers. It seems wasteful to have to cut so much off the nail to have them at a 'functioning' length. Alas I am not one of those Real Housewives of New Zealand who sip champagne at lunchtime and have servants to do all the work. I am an office manager so the bulk of my work day is administration.

The second thing I noticed was the ridiculously sharp points on them, who in their right mind would wear their nails filed so sharp? Toilet paper issues came to mind! Again it seemed wasteful to cut so much of the nail off.

Bearing in mind the instructions that warned against getting the glue wet for the first couple of hours after application, I applied the nails on Sunday night, hoping the glue would be bonded and set enough for my workday Monday. The nails were really easy to apply (I only stuck my fingers together once lol) and the different sizes in the pack made for easy fitting.

I went through my usual routine Monday morning getting ready for work, and after showering noticed that some of the pink colour on the nails had turned silver, almost as if it had rubbed off.

I also noticed after doing quite a bit of typing on Monday that two of the nails appeared to have started splitting, so I cut and filed them instead of removing them.

Tuesday morning in the shower I lost three nails while washing my hair. I refitted new nails while eating breakfast so it wasn't a big deal.

Wednesday I noticed all but two of the nails had distinct silver patches on them where the pink had rubbed off. I lost two nails while unloading the dishwasher and didn't bother reapplying them.

Thursday is today and in between showering, filing and making coffees today I have lost another six nails. Now I know the box says "lasts up to 10 days" but for the price Teddy Lane are asking for these nails, I would have thought they would last closer to the 10 days than this - it has been a disappointing trial this time round.

When my Teddy Lane nails arrived I was very excited to give them a go. We were heat in away for the weekend so I put them in the overnight bag yo try out whilst relaxing in the far north. They were very easy to apply and looked amazing. I filed them down quite a lot as I'm not used to very long nails. They still looked great shorter and the pattern I chose was not compromised. I was very impressed with how natural the nails looked and got many compliments on them from friends, family and shop keepers. The only down side is that they did not adhere as well as I thought they would. I followed all instructions given to a tee but had to reapply one after only half a day of wear. I work in education and wash my hands a lot I also do many jobs with my hands so found they just were suited to this they lasted in total (after reapplying a few here and there) for 3 days. Some nails were damaged and some of the colour was scratched. I would still use these again though for a night out or event as they were stunning and so easy to use.

These cool nails come in a stylish black box with Teddy Lane branding. There are 24 nails, a nail buffer, and glue. The instructions are on the outside of the box.

I got the shade, 'jeweled amethyst' and they are gorgeous - most are a mauve/lavender/egg-shell blue kind of shade and some have 5 jewels decorating the bottom near the cuticle. Some of them are white/gray marble for contrast.

So I read the instructions (for once) then lined up the nails that I'd measured against my real nails. I almost got it right too! Then glued and pressed them on, one at a time. It is sooo easy. I'd like to pretend I got them all perfectly straight, but I'm pretty gumby so some are slightly off centre, but it's not really noticeable. They needed a little buffing on the edges which was also easy.

The nails themselves are very strong. After 5 days there are no scratches, tears, or marks of any kind on them. And none of the jewels have fallen off either - and I'm not gentle on my hands and nails, so that's saying something. They all look exactly the same as they did when I applied them.

These jeweled nails are $28.99 which is a great price considering how long they look good for, and that they're excellent quality. There are lots of fabulous colours on the site to choose from. And if you're more careful than me, you should probably get two full sets from the box.

I highly recommend them.
