Teddy Lane Nails Reviews

I have not tried fake nails for the longest time. The last time was perhaps when I was a tween? I received a set of these nails in the BBBE “Discoveries” box, and I decided to give them a try over Christmas. The set I received was “Sangria” from Teddy Lane’s “Glamour Collection.”

Teddy Lane nails come in a black cardboard box bordered in silver. Inside each package are 24 nails, a nail file, and a 2g tube of nail glue. Instructions are posted on the back, but inside there is also a leaflet with a 5-step application process. I went about the application by firstly, choosing the nail size for each nail and hand, and then laying them out accordingly. The nail glue is easy to squeeze out of the tube. The glue is a contact adhesive, so the nails stick on fairly quickly. As a newbie to stick-on nails I found the instructions fairly easy to follow, and the whole application process to be stress free.

At first I was paranoid about the nails falling off right after I stuck them on, but these stuck really well, and were a lot tougher than I thought. The plastic they are made from is really hard, and none of the nails chipped. When they came off, they came off whole and intact. I even bent one by mistake and it was still fine and stayed on. I enjoyed wearing these. They looked super cool on, and everyone who saw them was impressed with the look, colours, and decorations on them.

As far as longevity goes, Teddy Lane nails claim to stay on for up to ten days’ wear. My first nail came off after two days, and the last one came off after ten days. So they are true to their word. These nails are reusable, so you can reapply them, or you can use the spares that come in the packet.

The only drawback to these is that they were very long. The “Sangria” design is in the shape “Stiletto” and are long in length according to Teddy Lane’s website. They are much longer in length than what my real nails would ever grow to, and the stiletto style actually curves over the finger, which makes typing difficult. So I found adjusting to the length quite hard. I suppose I could have cut, or filed them down, but I did not want to ruin the shape. I notice on Teddy Lane’s website that they have styles in a medium length instead, so I would be keen to try a shorter length in a more oval shape as I think these nails look very glamorous.

Altogether, I think these are a great option if you are looking to try false nails. They are durable, stay on well, and are very realistic. I plan to try more styles from the range.

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.

For someone who used to pay $60 to get a set of acrylics, I was very impressed with the Teddy Lane nails pricewise, at $28.99 a set, they're decent. The range of colours and patterns in all shapes and sizes is awesome and I love that they don't look cheap. I tried out the set called CATWALK which is from the 9-5 collection, this was a daring choice for me and I was so stoked with how they looked, I felt fierce with them on. When it came to applying them, it was a bit difficult for someone like me who is inexperienced as I wasn't quick enough to remove the glue from my finger and it ripped off some skin. For someone who is experienced, they will find them easy to apply. They are strong and great for all lines of work concerning durability. overall I would recommend them and I will buy them again.

Working in the cleaning supply industry I really can't have nice nails so when the opportunity for this trial came up I grabbed it!! The packaging is a lovely black and silver that has just a little bit more of a classy look than other sets on the market. Everything you need is included except for a cuticle stick which I would have found very useful given the state of my nails! I found the nails were easy to size and application was simple, even putting them on the opposite hand was relatively easy (bar one finger when my dog bumped me and it was a little crooked) The length was a little long and I'm not used to pointy nails (playing XBox was real hard! my Fortnite game was a little off) but I soon got used to them. They lasted a good six days of my rough handling, I wore them to work and the gym and only lost one at the gym which i just re-stuck back on and it was dandy. I would totally use them again - in fact I'll be getting some to look flash for the Pink concert this weekend!

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 :-)

If you're a woman of age, I dare you to try and get through reading about these nails without humming Penny Lane.

If I'm going to an event, or a special occasion I always have my nails done at the salon. You know, gel nails, usually with a french tip, because I become overwhelmed choosing a design on the spot. I was really excited about this trial, but also a bit worried, mostly because, my nails are odd.

My drunk party trick is slamming my fingers in doors. Not on purpose you understand, but nonetheless its what I'm known for. Toilet doors, taxi doors, electronic gates. The result has been uneven nail beds - some are pretty much flat, with no natural curve. So I was a bit worried 'full' fake nails wouldn't fit properly (as opposed to just tips, and the bed being built up with gel like at the salon)

Anyhoo. The super fun part of this trial was selecting our design. I spent like an hour on the Teddy Lane website. Making a list. An actual handwritten list y'all, of my choices. I really like that it clearly shows the length and shape you're choosing. I choose a medium length, almond shape design called Catwalk.

Here lies the biggest negative of the trial.

Its actually difficult being sure of the design you're choosing. The live action photos compared to the 'stock' photos show very different shades and its hard to gauge the finish of the nails. Going by the photos I thought Catwalk was a pinky-gold glitter. Its actually a rose gold embossed foil. Nice, but not what I thought. And if I'm paying $29 on press ons, I want to know what I'm getting. So my feedback here is to add a text description of the designs too.

On to the actual nails - beautifully packaged, with very detailed instructions. I found matching sizes really easy, and actually had enough of a mix left over that my sister got a set out of it too!

I chose to go for the 10 day wear. Gluing them on is a bit of a 'leap' moment. You line it up, say a fleeting prayer to Manicurus, the God of Nails and go for it.

The length and shape I chose were perfect for me - a bit of a statement without erring into Ru Paul territory. My flat nails weren't an issue at all, the nails pressed on evenly and relatively straight, and really did look natural. Particularly around the cuticle area.

I work in admin and these held up remarkably well given the aggressive typing of my email replies and changing many a nappy at home. I wore gloves when washing up and I even did a bit of weeding (with gloves) too.

[review continued in Tips section]

I'm a certified nail technician, but I no longer do it full time. So back in the day my nails had to be perfect. Now my nails are natural, but kempt, and I only fake it if I'm on holiday, or going to a party or date night.

I'm on holiday in Aussie right now, so great timing! I chose the design Daiquiri - long, stiletto nails in a 'feature' nail design. You could play around with the finished manicure, but the suggested look from thumb to pinky is: pink, glitter, feature, glitter, pink. I followed this pattern.

The design is very pretty and blinging. I love the glitter nail. Being a bit picky, the diamante feature on the line of the feature was a little misaligned, but in a way it added to the natural look, because humans rarely get things perfect right?!

Very easy to apply. If you allow the glue to get tacky on the nails before pressing down it creates less mess and minimises over-spill.

These are easy to file down if you need to, both at the tip and down the sides for fit. The file is a bit pants, if you need to file quite a bit, you'll want a tougher one.

They look as natural as falsies can, and do not look like press-ons. My girlfriend's are convinced these are gel or acrylic because of the quality!

Long is long - even though I'm used to long nails I do keep catching my thumb. The glue sticks so well its actually a bit sore when I catch it, but thats a reflection of my nail choice. It would be cool if each design was a available in variety of lengths.

I really love these nails, thanks BR!

For my Teddy lane nail trial I choose the shade Kristin from the classic collection. This is a lovely nudey/pink shade which is a prefect shade for everyday wear.

On opening the nails my first impressions were how lovely and natural they look unlike other false nails I have seen before (obviously this depends on which collection you go for). They feel very smooth to touch and have a lovely glossy finish.

What is fantastic about this brand of nails is that they have so many different collections and choices within each range. I have very short nails so didn’t want them too long in length. The ones I chose were prefect as they were medium in length. Everything needed apart from a cuticle stick is include in the pack which includes 24 nails in 12 different sizes, a nail file and glue and off course instructions.

I did find that the application of the nails does require a bit of time. I am a bit of a novice when it comes to applying false nails so perhaps I would get faster and find it easier the more I did it. I definitely can’t stress enough how important it is to properly follow the instructions provided and to do good prep work of your own nails before hand. I was so excited when these arrived that I skip the step or using a cuticle stick to push back extra skin the first few times I apply the nails and found the result wasn’t as neat as the rest.

The only issue I had was finding the right size to fit my thumb and my little finger but the nails are easy enough to file down to size and this didn’t appear to affect the strength or quality of the false nails. The nail sizes are numbered on the back too so it easy to make sure you get the same size nail on each hand.

As I only wanted to wear them for a few days I followed the 1-3 day wear time instructions which meant only using a thin strip or a dot of glue in the centre of the nail. I was a bit concerned that they might not last the full 3 days using only a small dot of glue but the false nails felt very sturdy on once dried and didn’t chip during the 3 days. So I can definitely reuse them again.

When I went to remove my nails I soaked them in reasonably hot water for a good few minutes and then gently lifted the nails off using a cuticle stick. My natural nails didn’t look damaged or appear any more brittle from wearing them and the removal process of soaking in hot water is easy and did work.

I believe they are good quality as they look very natural and felt very sturdy on but I would probably only use them for special occasions as they would get expensive for every day use and they did take a bit of time to apply properly.

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 recently purchased Teddy Lane nails from Farmers so that my nails looked nice for a wedding I was attending. The selection of colours was quite impressive, there were plenty that I liked but I ended up going for 'Blushing Veil' as it matched the super pale pink flowers on my dress.

I applied them the morning of the wedding as I was going swimming the day before and didn't want them to become unstuck. This was my first time using DIY stick on nails. I was really pleased with how thin and malleable the nails were, without compromising on durability. I did manage to glue my fingers together about fourteen times, but once I got the technique down, they were easy to apply. I filed them down to a more natural length that I found more comfortable. I have quite large nail plates so it was a little tricky getting the sizes right given that I only wanted the feature nails on my ring fingers.

I put a decent amount of glue on so that they stay put. So far, so good! I've been wearing them for the last 4 days and they still look great. I would definitely re purchase these. Instant, beautiful nails that look natural (especially with some alterations using the nail file!).
