Teddy Lane Nails Reviews

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.

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.

I got the Parisian set, a gorgeous combination of rose gold glitter, nude, and white with rose foil accents. The packaging is nice and simple, and includes the nail glue and a small nail file.

I found it a little difficult to match the nails to my fingers. There were lots of narrow ones but my nails tend to be quite wide. My thumb nail was unfortunately the awkward size where one is too big but the next size down is too small. So I ended up filing the pair that were too big down until it fit my nails perfectly. The glitter is a little patchy so I sealed it in with topcoat then matte on top.

The application process was relatively easy: spead some glue on the nail, wait a bit, hold it to your finger and press it down. I held each nail for about a minute, just to get it to really stick on, and so far it seems relatively sturdy. I've had them on for three days now and none have fallen off! Another great thing is that the polish won't chip, so I'm hoping this set will last for a good two weeks before I have to remove them.

Overall not too bad, but I'd like them more if the sizes fit my nails better. Although there are 24 nails, the sizes that don't fit are essentially useless. Also $28 for a two week mani is a little out of my budget, so I don't think I'd purchase them again. These are supposedly reusable, but in order to not rip them off my nails I'd have to use acetone remover, which would likely damage the paint/design.

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.

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.

I was lucky enough to recieve these for a trial. They come with everything you need to apply them at home.

The application was very easy, although be warned that once you press down the glue sets almost instantly so make sure it's straight.

The day of application I left them the length they came as, this is way too long! I couldn't do anything with my fingers and within a few hours I had snapped 2 nails and bent a few others. I also lost a diamante. So once I returned home I trimmed them down and filed them smooth. This was very quick and much better.

Day 2 and they have held up well. I have had no more breakages and no sign of them falling off. I am very aware that they are there tho, they feel a little heavy on my nails.

Overall I would use them again. They are very quick to apply and I have had numerous comments on them and how good they look. In future I will cut them down in the beginning to avoid breakages.

The packet does mention you can reuse them, I will try and update this review in a few weeks and to if this is possible.

I am pleased I picked up a set of these nails in the beauty vault. They make me feel a little fancy, and bring me back to my youth of terrible dollar store nails. These are definitely a lot nicer than those ones!

I was pleased to see how many different sizes of nails there were, and easily found 10 that fit my fingernails. I was disappointed in the fact that there were only a few glittery ones, but after checking the site I realized that the glittery ones are supposed to be on the pinky finger. I wish there were more.

The instructions are fairly simple, clean nails, apply glue in a blob for 10 days or a strip for a few days, leave until glue is tacky and hold onto the nail. Easy peasy. Once on the nails file easily, much like real nails which is awesome.

I got 5 days of wear before I got annoyed with the nails. I could feel my natural nail underneath, and I was always smacking the nails accidentally. I believe I could have easily got 10 days wear, if not longer had I not been annoyed.

Removal was easy as well, if not a little uncomfortable. I soaked my fingers in warm water with a bit of coconut oil to #treatyoself, and then I used a orange stick thing to help get them off. I went from the sides as that was easiest for me. But otherwise, they came off easy, they're still in good condition so they're reusable, and next time I might look and painting them a different color. Best of all, they haven't damaged my nails. Too bloody awesome.

I picked this out in the last vault opening as I didn't get on the trial. I don't usually use these types of nail products so thought i'd give it a go. I had the Barely Laced set (medium length, oval shape) Love the sleek white packaging. You can clearly see the nail design through the front panel. The set includes:24 reuseable nails (12 different nail sizes), glue, nail file and instructions. No cuticle pusher is included, you may need to have your own if you prefer to use these.

I really like the design of this nails. It took me longer than I thought it would to apply. 45 mins total. I found the glue being clear and the nails being pale pink, I couldn't really see where it was being applied. I also applied the glue to the middle of the nail. About 1mm form the base of the nail, 2mm from the tip. Doing this ensured that I didn't have excess glue when pressing the nail on.

I did follow the instructions for the 10 day wear. (There is also directions for 3 day wear if you plan to reuse nails) Day 1 of wear I had one nail come off but that may be because I didn't apply enough glue. Day 3 of wear I broke a nail vertically closing a car door. Day 4 I lost a nail at an appointment. I took them all off yesterday Day 8. Removal was easy and hardly any damage to my real nails.

I really like these nails. They come in a variety of designs and lengths. Would be great for a special event. Also cheaper than a salon manicure but will give salon look results. I did get compliments while wearing these. Also the nails didn't feel heavy or uncomfortable compared to when I get arcrylic nails.

I still prefer my nail polish strips as they are easier and faster for me to apply. However these are a great alternative. I have seen them on sale recently too. I would repurchase these for a special occasion but wouldn't recommend them for long wear, 3 days max.

I've tried a few of the Teddy Lane nails now and I really enjoy using them. Being a nurse I cant wear nail polish or have long nails so these are a perfect alternative for me. I find them easy to use, you simply pick out what size suits each nail add some glue and stick them down. The pack comes with a file so you can take off some length or shape as desired. I mostly use these for events or a night out as they can be easily soaked off with warm water and gently removed. I've had no damage to my real nails with using these either. I did find that on one occasion I lost 2 nails during the night, so not sure if that was my own fault for not using enough glue or if this regularly happens. There are spare nails included in the kit so you can always just glue on a spare one if one does come off.
