Elegant Touch Gel Nail Kit

elegant touch gel nail kits is a home kit for false nails that is cheap in cost but not that great I'm afraid. i did find the instructions helpful and the kit does have alot of content to create great looking nails but i found the result to be quite cheap looking and unrealistic compared to that of a salon quality manicure and even to that of some of the stick on nails in the elegant touch range. elegant touch describes the product as : "Gel Nails are THE nails to have - they have the look and feel of real nails without having to grow your own! Salon quality formulations and a 'mistake proof' brush means you will have stunning nails that ...  Read the complete review

I use to never be overly bothered about my nails but I decided to try false nails for the first time about a year ago as I was fed up of trying to grow my own nails. I thought elegant touch looked like a good brand to try out as they have a massive selection of different styles of nails, including long, short, slim tip, coloured and decorated. They claimed to be easy to fit and to have different sizes within the box to ensure you could get a perfect set of 10 nails to match your own shape and size. The price is jsut above the mid range average at around £6.99 per box and so I thought why not? The pack comes with a small and rather flimsy nail file ...  Read the complete review

I bought a set of these nails purely out of interest to see how good they were, they cost just 5.25 from a chemist in our high street and the box claimed that there was sufficient to apply two sets of nail enhancements. Considering that a set of nails using a gel application costs 28.00 in my nail bar done professionaly I thought that 2.62 for a set was very cheap and of course people would try it instead of paying out to come to me. The nail tips themselves were quite brittle so therefore fragile but for the cost no complaints on that score. The instructions were pretty basic making any one believe that it was so simple to get a professional ...  Read the complete review

I started using these kits after a beautician friend of mine did extensions for me once and I wanted to do them again myself. The box contains two sets of extensions, french manicure and normal. What you get is plastic nail tips which you stick onto the tips of your own nails with the glue included after roughening the surface slightly. You then cover both your nail and the tip with the glue, enough so you can't feel the join when you file the nail smooth. Then you need to set the nail by putting a couple of drops of the setting solvent on it using the pipette. After this you just file your nail on the edge and the surface to get the shape you want. ...  Read the complete review
