Welcome to a Sweet World

Hi Cuties!

I just received some beautiful gothic style press on nails from @blingup! Here’s a review on them.

Press on nails are really awesome if you want to either try seeing how deco styled nails look on you or if going to a salon then paying a lot for nails you can’t reuse don’t seem like a good option. Also you can always buy different styles to match different outfits and reuse them a few times.

I was asked to pick a set of gothic style nails and these were the ones I chose. They are one of my favorite color schemes Bordeaux and gold which actually would match a lot of my outfits.

Packaging: The packaging on these are really nice. They came packed really well too! You can keep the box they come in and reuse it as storage which is a plus. The nails are also hand made and come with extra studs and pieces should you lose or damage the ones on the nail which is pretty neat! 5/5

Nail design: These nails are absolutely gorgeous. I love the design and color. The quality is amazing too, they are obviously made to look like I got a real manicure. I’ve been to Marie nails and love getting my nails decked out but this is a really great alternative and looks comparable. I feel like I can wear them in Lolita and with a lot of other fashions I own or for a special occasion. This makes them really versatile. They’re also hand made so props to the nail artist/designer that created them they’re lovely. The nails also match the stock phot pretty closely with a few very minor minor differences but it’s hand made so I don’t mind the variation. They are really eye catching and I can definitely see me wearing them a couple of times! 5/5

Nail adhesive: The nails come with a sticky adhesive and the nail glue. I personally like the sticky adhesive because it’s a little less abrasive on the surface on your nail and gives the nails a little longer life in terms of reuse. The nail glue however keeps the nail on pretty sturdy but you get less uses. The Bling Up sticky adhesive is ok after 30 minutes of wear 1-2 of the nails started to lift and I wasn’t even doing anything. I have used press on nails plenty of times and I would just recommend buying another brand’s sticky adhesive. I think Sally Hansen makes a really great one that comes with their stick on nails and it’s nice. I can apply a lot of pressure to surfaces, open cans and dig through my purse aggressively without losing a nail. I will definitely try a different sticky adhesive for next time! 3/5

Overall: I would definitely pick up another set of press on nails from @blingup the designs and quality of the nails alone make me want to get more to match each one of my outfits! I ordered a size L and since I lived in LA the shipping was pretty fast. I kind of wished they had a larger selection of gothic styled nails and I know they sometimes take custom orders so I may try that option next. Please see below for the link to the nails!
