Review: Fingr's Artificial Nails


This is a way overdue review that I was suppose to do, but I was so busy with my moving situation back home and with school work, I never got around to uploading the pictures onto my computer earlier. However, I felt bad for dragging it out this long since I received these products back in January. So finally, here it is.

Fing'rs Brand Artifical Nails

Retail Price
: Varies
Official Website: Fing'rs
Availability
: CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, Walmart etc.

Pros
  • Cost-efficient but still looks good
  • Fits most nail sizes
  • Shorties length so they don't look tacky
  • Looks pretty natural :)
  • Comes with two choices of application (glue or press on tabs)
Cons
  • Press on tabs are hard to work with
Back in January, Christine from Fing'rs contacted me and asked if I was interested in trying some of their products and I decided to give it a go. I don't usually wear artificial nails, and the only time I ever did was during my Junior year prom. I prefer painting my nails because I can change them up as often as I want. Since then, however, I've always wanted to try out some others since I loved the ones I bought to wear for prom.

Christine sent me 4 sets of their artificial nails to try. 2 sets from their California Girl line and 2 sets from the Edge line. The California Girl line has more simple and classic designs. Great for dances, formals, or just everyday wear! The Edge line is self explanatory. They have more of an edgy look to them. Great for when you are feeling something more unique!

I've only tried one set out of the 4 I received, which is the Beverly Hills Chic from their California Girl line.


This was my favorite set, and I definitely love how they look on. Don't they look like I got them done professionally :)? My nail beds are shorter than most peoples, and they fit perfectly. I am sure they fit people with longer nail beds too though, since I've seen how they fit on other girls who have also reviewed these products.

Each set comes with 24 nails, glue, and press on tabs. When I wore them, I used the press on tabs since I didn't want to keep them on too long since I was going to go bowling a few days later. The press on tabs, I have to admit are not that great. I had problems getting them off the sheet they were on, and sometimes the edges got bunched together, which made the application uneven. Therefore, I think the glue would probably be the better choice for an easier application.

As for durability, I think it really depends on the person. If you work with your hands a lot the durability will probably be not as good compared to someone who doesn't do much with their hands. For me, they lasted pretty good considering how much I picked at things when I had them on, and the fact I used the press on tabs.

Christine also sent me some nail stickers, which I was very excited about. I haven't tried them since they are in one of the moving boxes at home. However, I am sure they will add some spaz to any of my future manicures :). If they perform exceptionally, I will definitely talk about them later on.

FTC Disclaimer: These products were sent to me for reviewing purposes. I was not paid for this review, and this is 100% my honest opinion.

  1. Those nails look cute on you!

    I also really have to get this review done except I asked for nail art stuff since I don't wear false nails and I just cannot get myself to try the stickers again. They really suck lol... like, so much so I only wore them twice for about 5 minutes and then ... 3 days? But I feel bad not having pictures to review off of.
