Teddy Lane Nails Reviews

I was excited to be accepted for this trial as my work required me to have shorter nails so the appeal for me was having "nails" for a weekend and being able to re use them if I was careful with them. I chose the naturals lovelace collection but I must say the colour was pinker than appeared on the website but once they were on they looked lovely. I chose to wear them for the weekend only so applied with just a dot of the glue which I wasn't sure was going to be enough, however the nails did last the weekend well. They are lovely and light to wear. The longest part for me, apart from spending an hour online choosing from the fabulous selection was deciding which falsie fitted which finger the best. They are simple to put on and the glue (which is a bit whiffy) sets very quickly. They I did choose a long set of nails and in hindsight would pick a medium length as I did find these a little long for my liking especially if I wanted to wear them for longer than a weekend. To get them off I soaked in hot water for about 3 mins and they popped off easily and undamaged. So overall these nails are a great option without having to go to the salon and I think great value for money especially if you are wanting to wear them more than once.

I’ve always wanted to try out fake nails, but I heard about how damaging the glues were to the natural nails and my nails are already weak, so I was very reluctant. After reading raving reviews about the Teddy Lane nails, I had to try them for myself. This was the first time I’ve ever used fake nails. I bought the blushing veil set, which is part of the natural collection range. It’s great that Teddy Lane is a New Zealand brand and cruelty free. The nails have a UV gel coating, which give them a glossy look. The nails are also chip resistant and the set contain 24 reusable nails. It also includes a nail file and a glue tube which is supposed to be non-damaging to the nails.

The blushing set is a beautiful light pink set which includes few silver glitter nails. There are instructions for 3 day wear or 10 day plus wear. I opted for the 3 day wear and followed the instructions. Firstly, I trimmed, filed and cleaned my natural nails. I then applied a thin strip down the middle of the fake nail. After waiting 6 seconds for the glue to get tacking, I stuck it onto my nail and held it down for 20 seconds for it to bond. I continued to do this for every nail. It’s important to avoid water for at least an hour for the glue to bond fully. I didn’t trim the fake nails once they were fully bonded as I was happy with the length they came as. After 3 days, the nails started to fall off so, I just filled the sink with hot water that was a suitable temperature bear and submerged my hands in it for about 2 minutes. I used my nail from my opposite hand to remove the nails, and they came off very easily. My natural nails looked perfectly fine after the fake ones were removed.

The fake nails looked even more gorgeous once they were on. They looked very natural and were very comfortable to wear that I forgot I was wearing fake nails. I had a lot of compliments on them and people even thought they were my real nails. I couldn’t stop staring and playing with them, I liked the sound they made when I tapped them against a surface. My natural nails would break before they could grow that long, so it was exciting to have a way to have lovely long nails. The Teddy Lane nails are perfect for any occasion and I think I will be using these instead of painting my nails. I definitely recommend it to anyone, especially to those who love manicures on a budget.

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!

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 was thrilled to be chosen for the trial of the Teddy lane press on nails. I love doing my nails - and rarely have naked nails, but my nails are short! I chose from the Glamour collection - because I'm nail obsessed and it was an opportunity to have lloooonngggg glamourous nails. I chose the beautiful Daiquiri design - Pink, greys, glitter - basically lots of BLING!

I watched the video first & set out on my manicure mission. The best way to apply is to select each nail first, and line them up so you're simply gluing and applying simultaneously. I made sure each nail chosen was slightly smaller than my nail to avoid an mishaps with glue and skin!

I quickly buffed my nails, then cleaned with an alcohol wipe as a quick prep. I'm not used to long nails so I decided to apply the finger nails (Leave thumbs till the very end!) to my dominant hand first.

To apply I smeared a little glue on my nail, a quick dab/smear to the press-on nail, & then holding the tip I lined up over my nail and pressed down and held for about 5 seconds. You need to be precise and quick because the glue sets quick but it's a relatively easy process. I repeated on the other hand, and then finally pressed on my thumbs! The result was fantastic. They looked amazing (I've uploaded a photo on BR Photowall!) and they were solidly attached.

I left these on over a weekend and into the week. I didn't lose any in that time!

Removal is a little more involved. I wanted to reuse the nails if I could, so I did the hot water removal they suggest. You soften glue, and then I could gently coax them off with an orange stick. It worked, but it takes time and a lot of care as the nails are well attached. I imagine at the 10 day mark they'd be much easier to remove as the glue would be starting to break down. Once all off I soaked my nails briefly in acetone polish remover to wipe of remaining glue, and my nails were damage free. You can remove the nails by soaking fingers in acetone (similar to removing gels). I imagine that would be an incredibly quick removal as everything melts away - but you throw the nails away afterwards and it can be harsh on skin. Both methods work - just depends if you want to reuse the nail vs. quick removal.

I loved these nails. Mine lasted 6 days when I had to remove them but could see me getting a week or more from them in the future. I'll likely get some from the Every Day range which are shorter, with a variety of shapes and shades, more suitable for day to day life, but I totally enjoyed the 'wow' of my glamour nails too!

Thanks Teddy Lane & BR for the opportunity - what a fantastic product!

You will receive 24 nails in 12 different sizes to match your own and they matched mine nicely.

These come in a good range to suit everyone's taste and you will feel luxurious while wearing these.

The pack also contains glue, a file and instructions. You have two options for the amount of time to wear, 10 days being the maximum however I would apply glue to most of your nail so that none pop off with normal wear. I needed a pin to clear the nozzle every so often. You will know when the glue takes hold as you feel a sudden tightness. These are removed with an acetone nail remover and don't damage your own nails. I managed to chip one however I should have filed in a downward stroke.

I would definitely recommend these nails particularly for a night out or special occasion. As for extended wear I would tend to shorten them although I am not used to having long nails as I do some gardening etc.

I was very lucky to receive Milan in the 9-5 Collection and am grateful to Teddy Lane and Beauty Review for these :-)

I don't often use fake nails, however I have used them now and again. But honestly these are so good I might have to start using them more often. I found it so easy to apply them, they stick so well and are so strong compared to other fake nail brands which would tend to fall off after a day. I have now had them on for 2 days and none appear to be showing signs of coming off yet. I will have to update on how long they last and what condition my nails are on later. I chose the Aquamarine colour, it's so pretty and I have had so many compliments on my nails, would highly recommend especially for special occasions/events. Even cooler when they're a NZ brand, cruelty free and vegan!

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 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.
