Teddy Lane - you have nailed it!

I selected the style Manhattan from the Glamour collection as part of this trial. I uploaded a picture to my profile if you’d like to see these nails in real life. This style consists of 14 plain pale pink nails, 6 rose gold glitter nails, and 4 white nails with a pink/rose gold “V” shape. This means you get a total of 24 nails per packet in 12 different sizes. Because of this you have plenty of chances to find a size that suits each of your nails. I thought this was a pretty decent selection considering (most) people generally have only 10 fingers in total.

The packet comes with the nails, a nail file, a 2g tube of glue, and some instructions. Before I started to apply the nails, I ensured they were clean and dry by rubbing a bit of nail polish remover over them. After that I matched the nail sizes to my finger nails. The nails are numbered at the tip, which makes it easy to find a matching pair once you know what size you need for each finger. All you need to do after that is apply glue to the back of the fake nail and then press them on. Overall it was a very easy process!

I applied a good amount of glue to each nail as I wanted to test how long they would last. They ended up lasting for 9 days before the first one fell off! It was very simple to remove the other nails. I just wiggled a nail under the one I wanted to remove and they easily popped off. My real nails weren’t damaged in the removal process which was great to see. The fake nails were also still in good condition and they weren’t damaged at all. I think I’ll be able to save the nails to wear another time, as I still have plenty of glue left.

I have received so many compliments while wearing these nails! Most people thought they were acrylics and were very surprised to hear they’re actually press-on ones.

I normally leave my nails bare as I can’t be bothered fussing around with them, but I have really enjoyed wearing these nails! I’m already thinking about buying another pair the next time I have a special event. Overall I would definitely recommend these nails!

Looked great and stayed on

My nails are terrible, they break all the time so I'm always keen to make them look better. Teddy Lane Nails were easy to apply and they look good. I put them on about a week ago and they are still on. I'd definitely buy again.

SOOOOO GOOD!!! :D

I don't often use fake nails, however I have used them now and again. But honestly these are so good I might have to start using them more often. I found it so easy to apply them, they stick so well and are so strong compared to other fake nail brands which would tend to fall off after a day. I have now had them on for 2 days and none appear to be showing signs of coming off yet. I will have to update on how long they last and what condition my nails are on later. I chose the Aquamarine colour, it's so pretty and I have had so many compliments on my nails, would highly recommend especially for special occasions/events. Even cooler when they're a NZ brand, cruelty free and vegan!

Tips: I tend to apply fake nails just before bed that way they have all night to set properly! (:

Occasional nails

Super cute nails and easy to apply. I got the set in tequila sunrise (don't mind the drink to hehe) they are a mix of gold foil,white with gold and grey/white marble.

Matching them to my nails was fairly easy and straight forward. Any that were too big I just filed down the sides a bit with the mini file that it comes with.

I wore these nails for about 3 hours before they started coming off, by the end of the day they were all off. Keep in mind I'm a busy mama, so washing,dishes,general cleaning,bottle of wine etc.

So the next day I reapplied them and thinly coated my nail bed with the glue it comes with and held down the nails for a good few seconds before moving on to the next one. Again mum life proceeded as it does and the nails lasted 3days before they started to come off one by one.

Even though they all came off by day 5 my actual nails weren't ruined at all by any glue which is awesome.

I would definitely recommend that these nails be better suited for a special occasion/girls weekend etc, unless of course you're ok to reapply them.

Tips: Definitely apply thin layer of glue to nail bed/fake nail and hold down for a few seconds on your real nail, keep hands out of warm/hot water for 1-2hours

Ex acrylic user

For someone who used to pay $60 to get a set of acrylics, I was very impressed with the Teddy Lane nails pricewise, at $28.99 a set, they're decent. The range of colours and patterns in all shapes and sizes is awesome and I love that they don't look cheap. I tried out the set called CATWALK which is from the 9-5 collection, this was a daring choice for me and I was so stoked with how they looked, I felt fierce with them on. When it came to applying them, it was a bit difficult for someone like me who is inexperienced as I wasn't quick enough to remove the glue from my finger and it ripped off some skin. For someone who is experienced, they will find them easy to apply. They are strong and great for all lines of work concerning durability. overall I would recommend them and I will buy them again.

Tips: Make sure you use the nail template to test out which size fits your fingers.

Instantly WOW nails

I was thrilled to be chosen for the trial of the Teddy lane press on nails. I love doing my nails - and rarely have naked nails, but my nails are short! I chose from the Glamour collection - because I'm nail obsessed and it was an opportunity to have lloooonngggg glamourous nails. I chose the beautiful Daiquiri design - Pink, greys, glitter - basically lots of BLING!

I watched the video first & set out on my manicure mission. The best way to apply is to select each nail first, and line them up so you're simply gluing and applying simultaneously. I made sure each nail chosen was slightly smaller than my nail to avoid an mishaps with glue and skin!

I quickly buffed my nails, then cleaned with an alcohol wipe as a quick prep. I'm not used to long nails so I decided to apply the finger nails (Leave thumbs till the very end!) to my dominant hand first.

To apply I smeared a little glue on my nail, a quick dab/smear to the press-on nail, & then holding the tip I lined up over my nail and pressed down and held for about 5 seconds. You need to be precise and quick because the glue sets quick but it's a relatively easy process. I repeated on the other hand, and then finally pressed on my thumbs! The result was fantastic. They looked amazing (I've uploaded a photo on BR Photowall!) and they were solidly attached.

I left these on over a weekend and into the week. I didn't lose any in that time!

Removal is a little more involved. I wanted to reuse the nails if I could, so I did the hot water removal they suggest. You soften glue, and then I could gently coax them off with an orange stick. It worked, but it takes time and a lot of care as the nails are well attached. I imagine at the 10 day mark they'd be much easier to remove as the glue would be starting to break down. Once all off I soaked my nails briefly in acetone polish remover to wipe of remaining glue, and my nails were damage free. You can remove the nails by soaking fingers in acetone (similar to removing gels). I imagine that would be an incredibly quick removal as everything melts away - but you throw the nails away afterwards and it can be harsh on skin. Both methods work - just depends if you want to reuse the nail vs. quick removal.

I loved these nails. Mine lasted 6 days when I had to remove them but could see me getting a week or more from them in the future. I'll likely get some from the Every Day range which are shorter, with a variety of shapes and shades, more suitable for day to day life, but I totally enjoyed the 'wow' of my glamour nails too!

Thanks Teddy Lane & BR for the opportunity - what a fantastic product!

Tips: Follow the video on their website as the tips and tricks make for a perfect application.

Apply nails to your dominant hand first, because once the nails are on I found application can be a little trickier.

AHH MAY ZING!!!

Teddy Lane Salon Nails – I chose the LOVELACE Nails from the Naturals Collection as I loved not only the shape, but the colour and design as well! Upon receiving mine, I fell in love with the chic and classy packaging.

I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to use these because I do have slim nailbeds and previous experience has taught me that not all salon nails work for me. I was pleasantly surprised that there were sizes to cover every one of my nails! I was quite intimidated to start applying these but after doing the first two nails I realised it was easier than I thought.

I recommend using a clear work surface like a desk or table and sizing up each nail then lining them up and applying in sequence. Admittedly, I did find applying them a little tricky but I draw that down to lack of practice. The instructions that came with the nails were clear and easy to understand, although I recommend pressing down on each nail for at least 20 seconds and not wetting them for as long as possible as after an hour I had to wash my hands and one of them came off which was easy enough to reapply.

I have been wearing mine for 7 days now and they actually feel like they’re a part of my real nails – they don’t feel as if they’re a layer of plastic stuck on top of my own nails! I have only had to reapply 4; 2 of which came off due to my lack of care, and one I accidentally cut with a knife (don’t ask! -.-) I actually trimmed this one down at first because I couldn’t take it off and it was super easy to do and looked so cute!

I’ve gotten so many compliments about these nails and have already made a list of the other styles I want to purchase! I love that I can reuse them and mix styles (once I build up my collection).

I 100% recommend Teddy Lane Nails as a quick and relatively easy way to give your nails a glam make over.

Tips: As mentioned, use a clear work surface and size up the nails before applying.

Teddy Lane Nails

I have never used these type of nails before and would never use them again. It took me a fair amount of time to sort out which nails were the correct fit and despite scrupulously following the instructions I found it extremely difficult to put the nails on and in some cases I had to apply the glue three times.

I was disappointed with the quality of the nails as some had patches of missing nail polish.

The nails did not look too bad once I managed to get them to stick, but for me personally I found them a little long and could find no information on whether I could cut them, so just filed the ends.

Tips: It would be helpful to have someone to help you with both sorting out the correct size of nail and to help ensuring that the glue sticks.

Testing Teddy Lane

I received the DAIQUIRI from the GLAMOUR COLLECTION. It comes in long length and is stiletto shaped. First impression, loved the color and shape of the nails, glamorous indeed. The pack comes with 24 reusable... yes REUSABLE nails, glue,file and easy to use instructions. I found it quite easy to match the nail sizes and the actual application was pretty straight forward. I applied a thin layer of glue in a line in the centre of the fake nails and pressed them onto my natural nails for a few seconds and boom... I had a set of glamorous looking nails for my night out. The glue didn’t have any unpleasant smell but I did find that I couldn’t put the cap on properly after using and it was lose, so I stored my nail glue in the fridge so that it doesn’t dry out. I did have to file them a little just to smooth the sharp tips and to make them look a little bit neater but was very easy to do. Once on they felt very light and I forgot that I had fake stick on nails. They did look pretty similar to acrylics from afar. They stayed on well all night and I didn’t have any nails flying off which is normally the case with stick on nails. However I lost a few the next day while getting dressed and putting on my shoes, but this could be due to me washing my hands a few times and the glue loosening up a bit. Plus I did put on a thin layer of glue as I just wanted to wear them for 2-3days.Removing all the nails was quite easy as well, I lifted them gently from the sides and they came of really easily without any pain or causing any damage to my normal nails. I only had to buff the top of my nails with the file/buffer provided to remove the light residue of the glue that was there. All the fake nails were in perfect condition ready to be reused again. Overall a good product if you want short term wear instant glam nails just for a special event or function without having to splurge at the nail salon. Thank you BR for allowing me to review these nails and for introducing this range to me.

Tips: For stiletto shaped nails file the tips a little just to make them smoother and store the nail glue in the fridge so that they don’t dry out and you can reuse them again.

Fancy Fancy

Working in the cleaning supply industry I really can't have nice nails so when the opportunity for this trial came up I grabbed it!! The packaging is a lovely black and silver that has just a little bit more of a classy look than other sets on the market. Everything you need is included except for a cuticle stick which I would have found very useful given the state of my nails! I found the nails were easy to size and application was simple, even putting them on the opposite hand was relatively easy (bar one finger when my dog bumped me and it was a little crooked) The length was a little long and I'm not used to pointy nails (playing XBox was real hard! my Fortnite game was a little off) but I soon got used to them. They lasted a good six days of my rough handling, I wore them to work and the gym and only lost one at the gym which i just re-stuck back on and it was dandy. I would totally use them again - in fact I'll be getting some to look flash for the Pink concert this weekend!

Tips: I roughed up my nail very slightly so they weren't so smooth for good adherence for the glue.
