£65

Im sure they are half that normally - i'd shop around.

my mate bought some shop ones and said they were really good, I'll give her a nudge.

Elegent touch £5.99 for 24 nails (All diff sizes to get best fit), with glue and a french nail look. They look fab for just flashing about and finishing the glam look off. Give yourself plenty of time, a flat surface and good light to do them in - or have a girly evening and get a friend round to do em for you.

Get em in any boots or superdrug etc etc.

or i have paid £25 for tips and gel (not acrylic) nails at a salon - but i'm a fiddler and pick at them, so pinged off - i figure i wasting less money getting stick on ones.

i nearly fainted when she said £65 that was for sculptures? i bite my nails loads so thought i should have some so i felt glamourous!i just really want them to last 24 hours!

stick on is the way to go - but make sure you soak em off not pick em off the day after else your nail surface will be damaged (soak in acetone nailpolish remover)
