Review: Primark French False Nails!


If you have seen my Primark haul from last month then you would have seen that I bought a set of the French nails. The main reason I decided to buy them was the £1 price tag which is a bargain compared to most other sets of false nails that usually come in at around £5-£6. These nails are a flesh toned colour so they are not a pink colour like some other brands. They are also quite thin and flimsy which means that they are not bulky on your nails. As well as this they come with a variety of different sizes so they cater to most people which is always handy for me as I have tiny hands and nails!


I have slightly mixed views about these nails because I love the way they look on and the £1 price tag is amazing, but the glue that they come with is appalling! I didn't have high hopes for the glue that they came with, as after all they were only £1 and also they eyelash glue that comes with their false eyelashes isn't very good, but I used it when I first applied the nails just to see what it was like, and within 24 hours they had all fallen off! However I then reapplied them using the Elegant Touch nail glue and they stayed on fine, lasting for around a week which is roughly how long false nails usually last for. Another downside to these false nails is that they had a lot of imperfections where part of the tips were missing and the also had dirty marks on them that would not come off. When buying them I looked at all lot of the packets and most of the nails were the same, which means they are not the highest quality. 


Overall I would recommend the Primark French nails because they are amazing value for money and ideal if you need a set of false nails but do not want to spend a lot of money, so I will be buying them again, just this time I won't be using the Primark glue!

Have you tried the these French nails? If so what did you think of them?
