Teddy Lane Nails Reviews

These cool nails come in a stylish black box with Teddy Lane branding. There are 24 nails, a nail buffer, and glue. The instructions are on the outside of the box.

I got the shade, 'jeweled amethyst' and they are gorgeous - most are a mauve/lavender/egg-shell blue kind of shade and some have 5 jewels decorating the bottom near the cuticle. Some of them are white/gray marble for contrast.

So I read the instructions (for once) then lined up the nails that I'd measured against my real nails. I almost got it right too! Then glued and pressed them on, one at a time. It is sooo easy. I'd like to pretend I got them all perfectly straight, but I'm pretty gumby so some are slightly off centre, but it's not really noticeable. They needed a little buffing on the edges which was also easy.

The nails themselves are very strong. After 5 days there are no scratches, tears, or marks of any kind on them. And none of the jewels have fallen off either - and I'm not gentle on my hands and nails, so that's saying something. They all look exactly the same as they did when I applied them.

These jeweled nails are $28.99 which is a great price considering how long they look good for, and that they're excellent quality. There are lots of fabulous colours on the site to choose from. And if you're more careful than me, you should probably get two full sets from the box.

I highly recommend them.

When my Teddy Lane nails arrived I was very excited to give them a go. We were heat in away for the weekend so I put them in the overnight bag yo try out whilst relaxing in the far north. They were very easy to apply and looked amazing. I filed them down quite a lot as I'm not used to very long nails. They still looked great shorter and the pattern I chose was not compromised. I was very impressed with how natural the nails looked and got many compliments on them from friends, family and shop keepers. The only down side is that they did not adhere as well as I thought they would. I followed all instructions given to a tee but had to reapply one after only half a day of wear. I work in education and wash my hands a lot I also do many jobs with my hands so found they just were suited to this they lasted in total (after reapplying a few here and there) for 3 days. Some nails were damaged and some of the colour was scratched. I would still use these again though for a night out or event as they were stunning and so easy to use.

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 love these nails! I tried out the style Belle from the Classic Collection and they are beautiful medium length nude pink nails. They are really easy to apply and they looked stunning! They have lasted a really decent amount of time for glue on nails. I’ve been wearing them for about 5 days now and I only had to touch up the nails twice. Which was easy as you get 24 nails in a pack and lots of the glue. People have been asking me where I got my nails done as they think I’ve gone to a salon to get them done! So these nails really give you that polished, finishing touch! I have already been recommending them to others and I will absolutely buy myself some more of these. I also love that they are vegan and cruelty free!

I applied ‘White Linen’ long-length nails from Teddy Lane’s Naturals Collection. Firstly, I was genuinely very surprised at how quick and easy these nails were to apply. I haven’t applied press-on nails for quite a few years now, so I was unsure how long it’d take. But, seriously, it took me five minutes flat - from reading the very clear instructions through to sorting my cuticles in preparation, organising the nails themselves and then glueing them on. Easy peasy! Secondly, they look fab! I didn’t expect the whole act of applying press-on nails to feel like a lovely, pampering session, but indeed, that’s how it felt! I am extremely satisfied with the result, and they DO look natural and have added a bit of glam to my week! But how do they bare up, in a real-world setting, I hear you ask! Can you still text, operate gadgets, drive, type and so forth? Well, yes, you can. Mine are a long length and I am still managing to perform everyday tasks just fine. And none of them have flicked off into the hemisphere or broken: the glue that Teddy Lane supplies with their nails seems pretty darn durable! Also, just as importantly, my own nails underneath feel fine and still feel like they can breath. So those are a whole heap of positives right there! Do I think they are worth the money? YES! Would I buy them again? In a heartbeat! I have had a good look at some of their ranges, and there are quite a few of their nails I’d try out! The chrome nails look insanely good - I’d go for them too! Overall, it’s a resounding yes from me, I’m very impressed with these nails. You’re on to a good thing there, Teddy Lane.

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.

Omg what an amazing trial to be selected for! I had never heard of Teddy Lane Nails before and the last time I wore press on nails was in my teens. I selected Knight in Armour from the Chrome Collection and wow they are so beautiful and definitely got a lot of comments!

They come neatly packaged with glue a nail file and clear instructions. There are 24 nails all up and you simply select the size that fit your nails the best, I have quite petite nails so was a bit worried at first as the thumb ones were gigantic but after a bit of sorting through I found a set that pretty much fit perfectly.

I planned to wear these for 3 days as I didn't want to ruin them at work,  so as instructed I put the glue only down the centre. Application was simple and didn't take long.

Wow they looked amazing! I don't think I have used chrome polish before so these were definitely stand out nails. I liked how they didn't look super fake and you can file them for a more natural look.

On day 2 I had one fall off when I was getting ready in the morning,  I reglued it back on easily enough. Day 3 no more had fallen off, when I removed them they actually just popped off quite easily, maybe I didn't use enough glue I think, next time I would use more for sure so that was a fault of mine not the quality of the nails. There was no damage to my nails underneath at all.

I would love to try more designs. These would be great for an event or if you simply feel like a bit of a change. Great price and great quality. Highly recommend! Teddy Lane you rock!

I was really excited to be chosen to trial Teddy Lane nails. I’ve tried fake, press on nails many many years ago. Would the quality be improved?

Looking on the site they have a great range of nails to choose from. My choice was Sparkling Grape, a muted grey/purple with a sparkling silver nail to stand out. The colour was just lovely.

The packaging is simple and so stylish. Not like some of the older press on nails you can buy from the supermarket. They just look like good quality and high end.

Teamed with my instructions I sat down and applied the glue and the nails to each finger. It was really easy and so straight forward.

The result was beautiful nails, so lovely for a special event, night out or just a pamper session. The ease of putting them on and how they look really impressed me!

The smell of the glue is rather strong, but that would be my only negative.

I can’t stop looking at my nails now! My daughter was oohing over them also. She was asking for some! I said when she’s a lot older!

Thanks again for this trial and I’m enjoying my glamorous nails.

Wow surprise!! I feel so lucky to have been chosen for this Teddy Lane nail trial. The design i got to trial is ‘Blushing veil’ from the naturals collection. As soon as i opened the package, i could not take my eyes off that gorgeous pack of nails. The package just looks so pretty... The set came with a small tube of glue, a buffer and a nice page of instructions for short wear, long wear, and nail removal... which makes it nice and easy to follow for first time users.

At first i was worried the nail sizes will be too big for me that i’ll have to trim it down... which might ruin the pretty coating.. but given 12 sizes of nails to choose from, i was able to find my size. What a relief...

First, i decided to trial one hand for the short term wear... and one for longer. Putting on instant nails for the first time... i knew it wasn’t going to be perfect... So i was overly worried thinking ‘what if the nails don’t come off after several days?, and ‘what if the glue comes out onto my skin if i put too much on?’. So for the short term wear, i only put a very..very.. thin line of glue down the middle of the nail. At the end.. i realised i didn’t put enough glue on the nails i did.. as a couple of nails popped off unnoticed after only a few hours of application. Another popped off in less than a day... maybe i was playing with too much hot water that day and for too long.. that the tiny amount of glue i applied wore off so quickly? On re-application, one of them was a bit wonky.. opps.. ok... i can’t seem to fix it.. but at least i know i put enough glue on this time. So, only a couple of nails survived one day during my short wear trial without having to re-glue. But i know my application will be better next time, as i now have a better idea of how much glue to use. However, good news is that i have some nails that are still hanging on strong. Although not quite 10 days.. i’m sure they will make it through. The property of the glue just amazes me..

I’m glad i picked a medium size nail design for this trial.. although i still ended up buffing these ones down a bit.. as they were still a bit too long for me

The nails look amazing.. and there are many beautiful and stunning designs to choose from. I recommend it to any one who wants salon looking nails done from home. It would also make a great gift for family and friends, or those that needs some last minute instant nails for a special occasion. Maybe even add a set to your beauty gift basket.

Knowing that these nails are reusable.. i will definitely treasure them for future reuse.

I'll start by saying my natural nails are a shocker. . So I was intrigued to see if this was really the quick fix solution that was promised.

I chose Belle which is a natural pinky brown. The colour was pretty accurate to the website.

The pack comes with the glue, nail file and 24 nails of various sizes. The instructions were really good on the pack and we were sent a link to the application video as well.

So essentially you match up the size nails with your own for both hands to start and then glue them on.

I got a really good match for all fingers and application was super easy. The style i'd chosen was oval and not super long so filing them down to a useable length for me easy.

Overall I loved the look of the finished product. They looked really natural and like i'd been to a salon.

How long did they last? Well to be fair I didn't restrict my movements at all. I go to the gym and lift weights 4 times a week and have a large boisterous dog who gets walked twice a day so they were put under a fair bit of pressure.

I lost a couple within the first few days (which I easily glued back on) and then the balance stayed on for about 4-5 days which I thought was pretty good, and best of all they didn't damage my real nails at all.

You could wear them every day every week, it would be easy enough. I probably won't but I will absolutely repurchase for an even or a big night out.

I only had one small gripe and that was I thought the packaging was a bit excessive, 2 plastic boxes in another box which I thought was a little unnecessary but that was the only thing.
