I tried these in the Bellini Blush set that I won in a prize pack - a set with plain pinky toned brown nails, and nude accent nails with a jewel on top and clear stripes through the nail. I have quite small hands, but this said there were sizes for petite nails so I figured it'd be fine, but these really didn't fit my hands. The set comes with a nail file to file the nails to size which is a nice touch, nail glue, and instructions. I liked that the set has extra nails in it for sizing options, and works out to be two sets worth, and that the instructions provided options for longer term wear, or shorter term wear of the nails. I also liked that these are vegan and cruelty free. However, I didn't like how these performed or looked. The nail glue as you'd expect as a typical nail glue scent and you are supposed to apply it to the centre of the nail for short term wear, press down hard for a short period and you're good to go. I found that the glue didn't stick very well at all, I was able to accidentally pop a few off later the same day I applied, despite following instructions and not letting my hands get wet, which is not what I'd expect for nails of this price. The nails were all really wide, and while there were smaller sizes to accommodate, I didn't find there were enough smaller options so I wouldn't be able to get 2 sets of ten nails out of the 24 pack at all. I know one is meant to file the nails to fit, but the degree to which I had to file them to fit was way too much and I may as well have just painted my own nails! I caution this with that I do have small hands so this won't apply to everyone, but as the product advertising promised it'd fit petite hands I expected it to deliver, I've had better luck with cheap Kmart nails fitting my nails more. I also found while in the packet the nails looked amazing, but when applied, the accent nails did look very plastic due to their design, and tacky. As they have clear stripes running through them, it becomes very clear the nails are plastic, and not acrylics, and I find it looked tacky. The tops of the nails were also really rough and jagged in my packet; while I filed this away, I thought this was poor quality, as I was already happy with the nail length (it was the width that was the issue) so I didn't want to be filing them but I had to. I just found these involved so much work for something that's meant to be fun and easy, and the nails were far too big to fit my hands. I've had better experiences with glue on nails that are a fraction of the price.

Never have I ever been a DIY type of girl when it comes to finger nails! However, recently I was unable to get a last minute appointment at any nail place in town, so I went to Farmers and bought a set of these.
My expectations certainly weren't very high, but as I was heading to an awards dinner, I really wanted to compliment my outfit with a nice set of tidy nails.
These were extremely simple to apply, and I was quite impressed with the variety of sizes included in the pack. I have very small hands, and small nail-beds.
I think the entire process took me maybe 15 - 20 minutes from start to finish, including filing them to length.
Overall I was really happy with these. It looked like I'd been and had my nails done, but for less than half the price.
These stayed on for nearly two weeks before they began to lift at the edges.
I'd definitely use these again.
Tips: Don't go overboard with the glue, otherwise you'll end up with an untidy finish.
My daughter and her tween friends are all over press-on nails at the moment and I can see why as they are really cool. I was given a box of these to try in the Chrome collection in size M and you can literally see your face in them with high shine.
I’m a complete novice with nails so it took a bit of getting used to with application but there were good instructions included. The glue I found a bit hard to squeeze out (to get two drops) but it probably prevents you squeezing too much out and making a mess. After pressing them on they stayed for a good day before they ended up popping off while fiddling with knobs and doing a bit of housework. I could see the ends of the nail chipping after some wear but far less than if I was wearing a nail varnish. I haven’t tried any other set but I’ve seen much cheaper W7 sets at chemist warehouse. These Teddy Lane sets are about $25 so I’d expect these to be definitely of a premium quality compared to those. They come with an emery board as well but I found when I tried to file down one nail it wasn’t really abrasive enough to remove much length. If you lose one there are 24 in the box to replace!
At the party I wore them to and the next day at work I had SOOOO many comments on how great my nails looked I’m very keen to get another set for my next event.
Overall these ones are a bit long for me so my next set I’ll try and see if they have shorter sizes or invest in a false nail cutter to nip off a bit on the end as these ones are almond shape and I’d likely prefer squared off. Also keen to try the versions with gems and patterns on them next.
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.
Tips: If you take care of them you can keep reusing them, great value for money! They do say they can last up to 10 days however I haven't tried to make them last that long.
