no time for a manicure on the road? no problem!

often while on the road, you just don’t have time to track down the best manicurist to keep your nails looking flawless. take a “tip” from a traveling diva and try revlon’s runway collection artificial nails!

i know i know … press on nails … you’re thinking “ick!” right? don’t! i’ve tried a lot of press on nails in my time as a former nail biter, and these are both comfortable and stylish. the adhesive is really quite good, so you don’t have to worry about losing one at an inappropriate moment. the french designer styles in a medium (translation - “wearable”) length are perfect for jazzing up your look while traveling. just check out the adorable styles above!

with the holidays coming up, there’s no need to stress over your manicure. toss one or two boxes of these delightfully designed press on nail kits into your carry on bag, and forget about it.

my suggestions? first, clean your natural nails thoroughly – toner or alcohol helps remove any body oils or lotions. rough up the nail just a bit with an emery board so that the adhesive has something to really cling to. apply the nails at night before going to bed, about an hour before bedtime, so that the adhesive has plenty of time to dry before sleep. allow them to set firmly overnight.

i don’t recommend long term wear with any artificial nails, but if you’re in need of a quick fix, you can’t get much quicker or much more beautiful than these super-pretty party designs. they also come in basic french manicure and in other colors if you’re a more understated kind of chick.
