Review: Revlon Runway Collection False Nails



What I liked about this product:
♦ They were fairly quick to use and although there was a bit of residue, it cleaned up easily.
♦ The look nice, very similar to acrylics or gels, but at a fraction of the cost.
♦ They wore much better than I expected. They stayed put on the nail through many tasks.
What I didn't like about this product:
♦ They were difficult to remove (soak in acetone) and the glue was very stubborn.
♦ The fact that I can see the glue areas through the nail.
I can see these being perfect for someone who has problem nails or doesn't have the time to paint their nails or get their nails done, either natural or acrylic/gels. I personally think it takes less time to do my nails the way I always do them, than to apply, remove and clean up the glue residue of false nails. Keep in mind that most of us are not the 'normal' person when it comes to doing our nails, and by that I mean we do them so often that we have it down to a science. This application was all new to me, so I imagine after some practice the glue issues might become easier to overcome. They're a fun product though, and I will be trying some of the others that were sent to me. I'm hoping they turn out a bit better, but all in all, a nice product for certain instances.
I really want to try these.. maybe when i get my nails off ill do it!
ReplyDeleteThese are very pretty. How long did they last? Or did you just wear them for a day or 2?
ReplyDeleteI really like them! Too bad you can see the glue! :(
ReplyDeleteI like that design, very snazzy!
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the glue issues... and I wonder if using falsies on a regular basis wouldn't damage the natural nail?
ReplyDeleteThe design is really pretty, though ;)
I like the design on the tips. I don't like how square the tips are. I read on another blog about the glue problem.
ReplyDeleteTali~they were actually very nice, although I'm not used to my nails having a square tip!
ReplyDeleteNessa~I just had them on about 2 days. The package says you should change them every 7 days, so I believe they'd probably last quite long.
Olivia~I know, I was disappointed in that. I'm going to give it another go with a different design they sent and try applying the glue a bit differently.
Kae~I agree, I thought the colors and he design were very cute.
Vanessa~Personally, I think it may do some damage to use them continuously. The glue seems very strong.
Lucy~I liked the design too. I wonder if you can paint regular polish over these? Interesting that others had glue issues, I thought maybe I'd done something wrong.
I'm not sure what type of glue came in the package, but I find brush on glue much better than the type that applies from a tube or with a pen like applicator. I only wore false nails on my thumbs for about two months (with weekly changes) due to a break. What I did was use brush on glue over the natural nail only and not on the false nail. Then I pressed down firmly. I painted over the nails, but the glue wasn't visible. I hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I was concerned about the glue showing through. I'll use a brush when I apply the glue.
ReplyDeletethese look super cute on you! damn about the glue
ReplyDeleteWow, these are so beautiful! They look so good on you! I don't have silver polish and I'd love to create a silver funky french!
ReplyDeleteDiana~thanks for the info, I'll be sure to try that on my next set.
ReplyDeleteNina~agree, good idea.
Nailz~thanks, I liked them other than the glue problem :)
Alexlyndra~I really do like the design on the tip and I'd love to see your rendition of it!
