I had planned on using the elegant touch false nails in 003 (I actually bought them), but a few things put me off;
1. After opening the box I realized that the instructions state that you have to buy a separate solution in order to remove them. This isn't indicated anywhere on the box and this did put me off a little.
2. I was worried about one of them snapping off in work. They're so distinctive it would be SO obvious if I lost one.
3. They didn't all fit perfectly - I have tiny hands.
Therefore I decided to get acrylics.
I've never had any kind of manicure before, but I was down in London for a couple of weeks and decided that it needed to be done.
We went to a little nail salon called 5 star nails in Watford and it cost £20 for a full set and colour (including the ombre) which I found very reasonable.
It took a little over half and hour and was a very enjoyable experience.
As I've just had them done I'm not sure how much damage will be done to my natural nails but I will keep you updated on a separate post!
