Long time no write!

Today I'm writing a review of Bling Up!, a fantastic Japanese nail art company located in Los Angeles!

I am really excited to write a review for them because I have never used false nails before. 

My nails grow fast and firm and I usually keep them nice long so I never took the chance use false nails orz

Luckily attending PMX(Pacific Media Expo) 2016, I was given the chance of meeting a representative. After a fun and lengthy icebreaker, she gave me the wonderful opportunity to choose a set of nails so I could help publicize the brand. I decided on was a beautiful mint colored set to match some of my favorite items and dresses in my wardrobe so I could wear them more often. What I love the most about Bling Up!'s nails the most are the unique design combinations of jewelry on every nail on one hand(they are mirrored). This gives each finger from your pinky to your thumb its own personality!

These are the items I got:

The nails (M size) come in a cute box that contains extra beads/pearls in case you want to add more to the nails or to fix any malfunctions.

I got both nail glue and nail stickers to stick them on. I used the nail stickers to wear them but sadly, I lost the sheet. 

It also came with a nail filer/buffer and two types of nail adhesives: nail glue and double sided stickers! 

Applying:

The directions to apply the nails aren't difficult, but like I said before, this was my first time wearing false nails so some minor troubles came about. It is first instructed to file nails and then buff with the other side of the filer. The biggest key after buffing and filing is using a tissue or brush to get rid of residue in order to prep your nails for the stickers or nail glue. DO NOT USE YOUR FINGERS! Your fingers have oils and will dirty your nails which can weaken the hold of the nails to your fingers. 

I have slender fingers and some of my nails are smaller than regular M size nails. I had to file down the nails for a better fit and decided to use the stickers instead of the nail glue.

I applied the stickers carefully on top of my nails (sticky side down on my nail with film on top) and lifted the film off to expose the other sticky side. Once a sticker was applied to my nails, I firmly put each of the nails over mine. 

After 24 hours, one of the nails started to get loose, but this was after me doing lots of writing, chores, drawing, and just regular day to day things. It held a lot better than I expected for only using stickers!
