Hi there! My fiancé has struggled with finding false nails to fit a wider nail. The drug store ones are too small especially thumbs. I’ve bought the adhesive strips for easy removal but I’d love to get some nails! Any brands you use that work well?

Clo,
KISS ImPress variety has had wider press on nails, not sure if they have wide enough for your needs.
What brand adhesive strips did you get, and where did you get them?

Thanks for the recommendations!

I have tried a few types of nails with different glues and sticky patches and came to the conclusion that they were designed by the devil!
Professionaly fitted acrylic nails are best but there are quite a few DIY kits that are available and look and last pretty good and can be filed into a shape that suits our hands.
If all else fails go ‘organic’ and grow your own. They don’t need to be talons, just a couple of millimetres will do. Soak fingertips in soapy water and push the cuticle down, If you paint the tips white then cover the nail with a clear varnish, it gives the illusion of a longer nail. When using coloured varnish try to leave a tiny gap on both sides of the nail for a slightly narrower look.
Happy scratching……Sally x

Hi Clo. I have noticed that “Kiss” makes wider nails. They look great also.

Than you Diana. I just checked out Sally’s site. Have you tried the lipstick? The colours look amazing.

For adhesive tabs I highly recommend https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WS1GQA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . I have tried a bunch. First clean your nails with alchohol to remove all excess oil then apply tab to finger nail then apply the nail. It will stay on for days with no issues. Although when I go out I do always take more adhesive and spare nails just in case.
