   KISS makes my favourite false nails! I’ve been using acrylics and gels from the salon for years, but it’s too expensive, plus I get bored with the colours and designs quickly. KISS’s Gel Fantasy Nails are perfect for me. They are cheap, I can buy a set for about $9 CAN at Walmart compared to about $25 MINIMUM at the salon for a set of acrylics! The colours are beautiful, they have tons to pick. They got a lot of designs including ombres, glitter, diamonds, etc – the things that would cost extra at the salon! They usually last me about 1 1/2 weeks before they start popping off. If one does fall out, I just glue it back on – no need to go to the salon for a fix! I usually remove them after about 3-4 weeks because I find they do get icky after a while. I love that these nails are cheap, beautiful and give me the flexibility to fix them if they fall off or get broken. Plus, removing them at home is super easy. This is my secret, everyone always compliments me on my nails. I tell some people my secret sometimes and they’re blown away! I would 100% recommend!

   My only hope is that KISS makes more colours and designs, please!

   These were a total fail for me. They do have some really pretty colors and designs, are easy to apply, and the sizes are numbered. Put a set on and the one nail popped off the same day while I was walking my dog. A couple more fell off the next day at work. At this point I am really frustrated because it just looked tacky to have a bunch of missing nails. Just my opinion, but I thought these looked really fake, but they are artificial nails so it’s not like a lot can be expected. By day three I lost a couple more and just took the rest off. This was my first time using at home glue on nails in many years, but I would rather just just pay the extra money and get my nails done professionally.

   I love these.
   They are super durable.
   I got so many compliments about them.
   They come with adhesives and nail glue.
   I used only nail glue and im on day 6 and i have not had a nail pop off.
   I definitely will repurchase anouther set.
   Btw i got 2 sets out of 1 box.
   I had to remove them when i 1st put them on because i did them upside down lol

   I am obsessed with these now! I have bought several different designs so I figured time to review them.

   The designs of these are gorgeous! I like most of them. They have different lengths and shapes too. I find the short and medium lengths good and they don’t get in the way of daily activities or typing. The easiest to apply are the French manicure ones with the tabs but the other ones aren’t hard to apply either. I use the glue that comes with them in the pink tube. I have never used the adhesives. They last about a week on me. A couple may pop off around day 5 but they are super easy to fix.

   What I love most about these is what a time saver they are. They take about 10 minutes to glue on. They are numbered in the back too if you want to match your nails exactly. I find I need to go up a size on my dominant hand on my ring and pointer finger. I hate waiting for polish to dry or spending hours in the salon so these are perfect. They are easy to remove too. Once they start lifting at the bottom I get one of those flosser picks with the floss on one side and the pick on the other. I slide the floss side under my nail and wiggle them off.

   They aren’t that expensive either; about $7-8/box. Its cheaper than a set of salon nails and cheaper than a weekly manicure. It comes with 24 nails. You can get 2 manicures out of it but obviously your nails will only fit certain sizes so I usually only do 1 set. I find the rounded shapes more forgiving for a 2nd manicure.

   The only con with these is they do damage your natural nails a bit; which all fake or gel nails do in my experience. Also I bought the kit with the clear nails that you paint and it was horrible. It comes with about 100 nails but they look bulky and cheap imo and the glue that comes with them is terrible. I had nails popping off the next day so I don’t recommend that kit.

   I will continue to repurchase these as long as they make them!

   Awesome!! I -also- am totally obsessing over Kiss gel nails. I wish they came in more colors/designs like royal purple not really my thing but they come in some french designs I love! They are so shiny & I glue them on to keep them on at least 7 days. I toss the adhesive tabs; adhesive tabs do not do it for me!! These are so pretty. They actually look like a salon manicure. I get medium length usually. That’s the length I’ve been liking best. I tried on a set of Kiss (non gel) glue on nails in long length & althou they were soooooo pretty I couldn’t type or hand write, it wasn’t practical & was interfering w daily life activities so those got soaked off in ~24 hours lol. The Kiss short or medium don’t get in the way of typing or anything & I like the little extra glitz of the medium length. I don’t normally have nails pop off unless I use my nails as tools (opening a can of pop or something). I keep a bottle of Kiss (why what other nail glue but Kiss of course! I have 3 bottles as back ups too unopened!) nail glue in my bag for such situations & can track down & tack that rogue nail back on in about ten seconds flat. The Kiss gel nails are more flexible & more shiny. Also they have more bling to them. I was a hardcore Broadway nail addict but these are fast becoming a fave. The problem I had w regular Kiss french manicure was that they would get water (& air) bubbles underneath as the week went on & I went about daily activities (washing hands, showering…) but not with these. You can use the nail glue that comes with it (I DO NOT rec the adhesive strips, I had iMpress nails like that & Fing’rs that were awful & left a sticky mess on my nails after I soaked them off in 100% Cutex acetone), or u can supply or own nail glue if U feel like there’s another u prefer or brush on is easier/more effective. Beautiful nails u get 24 so that’s 2 manicures for ~$7 not bad that’s a good deal!! I spend about less than ~$35-$30 including glue on my nails PER MONTH when some people spend more than that just getting a basic french fill in no bling in one session that’s gotta be filled in 2 weeks, every 2 weeks I couldn’t make a commitment like that. When I want these off I just take a cotton square soaked in Cutex 100% acetone & rub gently for about 15 seconds then I take a cuticle nippers & guide them off. No biggie. I quit painting my finger nails now that I’ve discovered glued on drugstore nails. I confess I am a bit of a hoarder I have 7-8 sets of reg glue on nails & 2 & a half boxes of Kiss gel nails waiting to be used! 🙂

   I’m obsessed with Kiss Gel Fantasy Nails! The reason why I like this line so much is because the nails are realistic & don’t look fake or pressed on; they look as if I’d paid $45 to get them done in a salon. I highly recommend these to those who love gel sets since these ready-to-wear kits are as close as you can get. It’s amazing that a harder, less flexible plastic is used & there’s a gel shine to give the appearance of a gel set. The kit includes press-on tabs for all 24 nails & pink gel glue. Both of their application methods work & look good;I just prefer gluing them on so I can wear the nails for a full 7 days. Something I’d noticed is that I can wear each set for two weeks if I use the tabs first. If I peel off the tabs, I can glue them on after.

   The line offers lots of variety, too. Styles are French, designs, solid, & glitter. The lengths are real short, short, medium, & long. I have worn shades/styles Freshen Up (sparkly black French tip), Painted Veil (sparkly blue French tip), Diana (sparkly silver French tip with sparkly silver accent nails), & Francesca (sparkly purple French tip).

   Note: a gel set is the same as a regular acrylic set except gel is put on top, making the nails thicker & not chip
