MY FAVOURITE FALSE NAILS: KISS EVERLASTING FRENCH

I often get asked; "where do you get you nails done?" or am told that my nails always look nice, and my secret? It has to be these babies.

I found out about these when I was looking for a salon that can perfect the french manicure.. Don't you find that they're either too wide, or the white tip is too long/short on the nail, and I find that they often look odd. So when I saw my trainer's nails looking perfectly even, I had to know what salon she visited. And that's when she shared with me the secret that has changed my life forever...(okay well maybe not my life, but it has made me VERY happy!)

I felt very dubious about the fact that they were only stick-on nails.. I remember trying false nails back in college and within an hour of application, PING! You'd lost two before even getting out of the door. 
Well I can safely say that these have restored my faith in false nails. 
I can apply these on a Sunday night, and the following Sunday, they are still intact. Yeah, one may have fallen off, but it's nothing major. I just make sure that I carry the pack with me so that I can replace it asap. I find that these can last me a good two/three weeks, if I just keep replacing the nails that fall off. 
Another thing that worries me about false nails is the whole; "gah, they go grotty and dingy though" or "they chip so quickly and start to look a mess" and I have to agree with these comments- with every other nail set that I've tried, they don't make it to the 3rd day without looking trashed and I have to take them off or paint over them, however these kiss nails still look perfect after two weeks of wear.
I'm very lucky as I get these from the staff shop (I work at Boots Head Office) for £2 a pop, so I probably spend £8 a month on these nails, whereas I was spending £35 on acrylics each month, but you guys can grab these from Superdrug for £8.19 here, which is still good for some quality nails.
