Great traditions must be kept alive, so my ‘travelling false nails’ custom does. Indeed, the second time I visited Rome, my full manicure was Elegant Touch Moon Swoon for a touch of magic under the moonlight.
The Elegant Touch Mystic Wonder false nail collection features dark, cryptic shades. Wear a sparkly midnight magic with the Moon Swoon kit.
Elegant Touch Moon Swoon Kit: product & packaging
Elegant Touch Moon Swoon is a glue-on false nail kit, part of a mystery-themed collection called Mystic Wonder. The package includes instructions and the essentials for a good manicure on the go: a mini nail file, a mini tube of nail glue (2 grams), and 24 oval-shaped false nails in 10 different sizes.
Finish and shade
Moon Swoon design is rather simple and elegant. Its simplicity with a sparkle winks at you. What’s in the box creates a sleek accent nail on either your index or ring finger. The shade is a cool grey, a medium grey hue with bluish, mauve undertones.
Its subtle and elegant shade matches the natural nail shape, as well as its sophisticated 3D design. A row of clear rhinestones runs longitudinally on the accent nails, adding a touch of luxury to an otherwise plain style.
How to Use Elegant Touch False Nail Kits:
The process is the same as for any regular glue-on false nails kit. File and prep your nails; find your size and pick your nails; glue on and fit; press and wait.
The package has all you need for this nail art and guides you through the trickiest part: finding the right size. It’s easy thanks to the numbered nail slots and tiny numbers printed on the top inner rim of each false nail.
PROS:
- The kit is easy to use
- has a good size selection
- has a convenient quality-price ratio
- is made of light and good-quality material
- there’s enough glue for application and touch-ups
- nail shapes seem perfect for newbies
- adapt well to the natural nails’ curvature
- the shade is intense and shiny.
CONS:
- This kit can be hard to find in stores
- oval nails tend to pop more easily (compared to stilettos).
Looking back, I don’t know why I bought this Elegant Touch kit. In fact, its style is quite simple for my taste! The price was really tempting: £5.95 for a high-quality manicure kit with rhinestones is a bargain, so I opened my wallet with joy.
Lately, I discovered my love for daring styles, and I also experienced how long-lasting stilettos feel like. It looks like these can stick better and for longer on my nails, while oval and squoval styles tend to detach easily.
So it happens: I was visiting the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs, nearby Roma Termini station, when I lost one false nail. This minor accident drove me somehow insane.
Something is mesmerising in this kit by Elegant Touch. It’s not the shiny acrylic crystals but that unusual shade, between grey and blue like the night fading into dawn. Moon Swoon is really a mystical manicure…
