Nail Break - Kiss EverLasting Nail Kits
For every wedding or formal event I have attended in the past year, I have used these nails. I’m a mani/pedi girl, but a French manicure on my natural nails doesn’t usually last more than one day. Kiss nails usually stay on me for about 4 days. They are so easy to put on, and you can’t beat the flawless look!
Top 6 reasons to invest in a set of these nails!
1) ANY LENGTH or SHAPE
The new Kiss nails can be filed down with a regular nail file to a preferred length or shape, just a like a natural nail. Or just leave them as they come in the box, they are fashionably square shaped.
2) HELPS GROW NAILS
Kiss’ new EverLasting French nails help prevent nail biting. Wear these nails for a few weeks, and watch natural nails grow underneath.
3) NO DAMAGE
These new French nails can be removed easily with pure acetone without any damage to the natural nail. Kiss offer a remover kit to make it even easier.
4) NO CHIPPING
New technology guarantees that these new French nails won’t break or chip like a regular manicure and lasts much longer.
5) SAVINGS
At $5.99 a box, Kiss kits save money in the long run. Customers savings can cover cell phone bills for nearly a year!
6) NATURAL LOOKING
Do the test! See if friends can tell they are not real? It’s not those tacky 80’s nails anymore!
Go out and by some! Make sure to read the application tips below from Michele Pierno, Product Development at Kiss Products - she gives us the inside scoop on super easy application and removal!
- Find your sizes first, and then place aside in sequence. (So you won’t be fumbling through the tray with nails on!)
- Always start with dominant hand first. If you are right-handed, apply nails to your right hand first. (This way, you won’t feel awkward when applying to left hand, not only with hand you do not normally use, but with nails on will feel even more challenging.)
- Applying to pinky first, then ring, then middle… is best. (Just like the pro’s do!)
- Use enough glue! Have some cotton swabs handy for quick easy clean-up. Apply glue to artificial nail and natural nail to avoid air pockets.
- Slowly lower artificial nail onto natural nail at an angle using the cuticle as your pivot point, then lightly press down. Any excess glue will then seep outward under nail’s free edge which is easier to clean and remove than if spilling out at cuticle or sides. Clean excess with cotton swab immediately.
Proper removal is the key to preventing damage to the natural nail (which is the biggest fear amongst artificial nail “non-wearers”!) For the fastest removal, we recommend using Kiss All or One Artificial Nail Remover Kit. However, you may also use pure acetone, or an acetone-based polish remover to safely remove artificial nails.
- Start by trimming the length of artificial nails.
- Use a low grit, slightly rougher nail file to lightly scratch the surface of the artificial nail thereby breaking the protective seal.
- For either fingers or toes, pour into a small glass bowl with enough remover to fully submerge all nails.
- Soak fingernails in remover until glue and plastic have melted off completely.

Fragrance Break - Kenzo Indian Holi
After spending almost 2 months in India, I was instantly drawn to KenzoAmour EDP Indian Holi fragrance. This scent has been out for awhile, since Spring 2008, but I just had the chance to try it. I'm not sure if it's the actual musky floral scent of this perfume that reminds me of India, or just the fact that it's called Indian Holi and the color and design of the bottle screams 'India.'
A Little Background about Holi
Holi is the festival of colors celebrated all over Northern
The Fragrance
A musky floral that evokes celebration Indian Holihas its head in the clouds, with rice steam, frankincenseand whispers of cherry blossom. It breaks into a heart of natural
rose essencebalanced by the freshness of pink pepper, and smoothed by
petals of peonyand frangipani.At the base, it lingers over a musky, sandalwood bed, gently spiced with vanilla.
The Bottle
Designed by KarimRashid, the original “bird in flight” bottle now bears splashes of red and pink celebrating the spirit of Indian Holi. Laced in gold is the heart-felt cry of “it’s Holi.”
