Avon Instant Manicure

My Avon lady is also my sister so I think I probably do better than most people for Avon freebies. One recent generous freebie she gave me was a set of all the colours in Avons Instant Manicure range. I like my nails to look nice but because my medication makes me a little bit shaky I am finding it hard to apply nail varnish neatly now I am getting older. Instant Manicure seemed like it would be the answer to my prayers so when my niece got married last month I decided to try out this revolutionary new way of colouring my nails. I used the Berry Fast variety this time and this is a nice deep pink that is so shiny that it can look almost red in some ...  Read the complete review

Avon Instant Manicure is wonderful! Speaking as someone with not very perfect nails and quite short this is a revelation as it goes on very well and hides all your imperfections, plus you don`t have to wait for it to dry. It is difficult to apply but not as bad as the previous review, my friend can put them on whilst travelling by train and she has shortish nails. My big beef is that Avon have now DISCONTINUED this fantastic product and I urge everyone who likes this product to ask them WHY!!!!!!!!! They are the only people that have made stick on nail polish so I cannot understand why they been withdrawn. My friend and I are distraught and trying to buy what is left of ...  Read the complete review

What a stupid pointless item! This has got to be one of Avon's worst ideas! I got given some and was actually quite excited, there something that you don't see very often and that no one else has ever made... however, it is for a very good reason that we don't see this sort of thing widely available! There rubbish, there difficult to use and even when you do get it right they don't look all the good, it's not a strong striking block of colour that we see in the books it's a see through watery colour, and that's with the burgundy colour. I wasn't impressed with this product at all and would persuade anyone away from it. They come off pretty easy, maybe a little too easy. ...  Read the complete review

There is a very good reason why Avon chose to discontinue this item, and that is because it is difficult to use and really just a little bit pointless. I believe there is still good reason to write this review even though it is discontinued because it is the sort of thing that will hopefully stop them from bringing this back next year (as they so frequently do with discontinued products!). The idea behind this product is that you apply thin pre-shaped nail enamel transfers to your nail from a little row of nail shaped transfers. None of the transfers will exactly fit your nail so you will of course have gaps all along the edges after using these, or you will ...  Read the complete review

I have sold Avon for a while now, and have even tried many of their products. The Instant manicure has to be one of the easiest to use nail polishes there ever was! How to use: Kind of like fake fingernails, just line up the appropriate size, press the base of the strip onto your fingernail( or plastic fake nail), and press and shape. The strips come in longer lengths for people who have longer nails, so you have to peel the excess off of the tip, and you are done! Supposed to last up to 2 weeks, but I am a nail- biter and I also like to change the color of my nails frequently, so I have never tried to get the full time out of ...  Read the complete review
