Polish Pick: 21st Birthday Nails

So, yesterday was my 21 Birthday (yay!) and you just know I had to glam my nails up for the occasion. However, this time - there's a bit of a twist. Because of how things worked out, I didn't really have time to actually paint my nails myself for my birthday, when I would want or need to do them, so this time, I admit I cheated a little. I bought a set of pre-done false nails - something I've actually never done before - and I'm actually pretty happy with how they turned out. Seeing as I wasn't doing my usual DIY job, I wanted to find a style (both shape and colour-wise) that was typically 'me' and I really feel this one fits that bill to a tee. They are the Elegant Touch Core Colour Nails in 'Metallic Pink' and they. are. stunning. let's take a closer look, shall we?

You all know I love wearing pink on my nails - even more so when it leans rose gold - and that's exactly what these are. A gorgeous rose gold in a super-shiny metallic finish that catches the light (and attention) so well too. Not only that, these actually come in the 'oval' shape - the style that I usually go for when buying my plain false nails that I apply to match up any broken natural ones when painting them myself - so I knew they'd be the perfect shape and length for my preference and also flatter my hands nicely too. A lot of styles come in thinner, longer shapes so they were an instant no-go, but luckily this colour saved the day with its slightly wider and long-but-not-ridiculously-so length. All in all, it's a winner! I applied these a couple of nights before my birthday and they're still perfectly in place as we speak right now. If you're ever in a pinch for what to do with your nails and need a quick, easy solution - check out the nails from Elegant Touch (in particular, these ones) as you really will not regret it. Don't get me wrong, I still adore (and will continue to do most regularly) painting my own - I'll actually planning on doing exactly that to change things up for my Birthday Meal at the end of this week - but if I'm ever in a rush again, I know what I'll be doing...
