  Lovely product, nice length, good to your nails

  Real life artificial nails... an oxymoron, you say? Well, yes, sort of. Broadway Nails have these new "real short" length glue-on faux nails. The length is perfect if you want a fast manicure but really hate having nails that get in your way. The length just peeks over the tip of your finger. I've had artificial n...ails on before (acrylics, gels, press-ons, you name it) and my big draw back is the inability to scratch an itch and open a Coke can myself. And then there's the whole thing when you have them removed, your real nail surface underneath can be destroyed. These Broadway Nails have been my favorite when I get that longing for artificial nails. They apply quickly and easily (so don't panic if you've never done it before), and they remove cleanly without damaging your nail bed. A normal pack has 24 nails in 10 sizes so pretty much everyone is covered. There are shades to pick from which include pink, nude, beige, and peach. Broadway states you'll get 10 days of wear. My personal results are anywhere from 7 days (if I'm gardening and remodeling the house with them on) to 14 days if I'm careful. In either case, they satisfy my urge for pretty hands without all the hassle, time and money of going to the salon for a full-set and then having them removed when I'm sick of them.

  Natural looking and so easy to apply!

  by tammy_m (7 reviews)

  Normally I wear acrylics (I know, not good for me!) but I was between sets, so I thought I would give this a try. This set is available at most drugstores, Wal Mart, etc. The retail price I saw at Walgreens was $4.99. The kit comes with 24 nails with tabs, a file, orange stick, and pink gel glue. The nails have tabs on the...m with numbers on them to help with figuring out which size for which nail. The tabs on the nails make it easier to position the nails on your nail bed for easier application. The application process is pretty easy. I recommend sizing up the nails to your fingers first, to make it easier for you. From beginning to end, the whole process took only 15 minutes. One thing I did notice, if you do not press down on the nails for a few minutes until they set, you may wind up with some air bubbles which is not attractive. I really liked this kit, and could see myself buying them for when I am in between my acrylics. I also think they would be good for people who want a nice French manicure for a special occasion. They do last a while, I have had my set on for a week with no problems or lifting (very important!). Plus, my husband said they looked really natural! Broadway Nails offers a wide variety for all nail types... I definitely recommend this set! September 8, 2008, 1:00 pm

  Great alternative!

  I have been asked so many times 'Who does your nails!?' I would of never thought I could get that response from a *gasp* press on nail! The glue does give out after a few days, but just keep it in your purse and pop it back on :) June 1, 2009, 5:34 am

  Worth the money and looks real

  by benhansey (1 review)

  I've worn these nails for years. I use to get the salon ones but with having children that just wasn't possible. These are the nails that I've found that are cheap and is the best value for your money. If you have small finger like myself, I wear a ring size 4½, these are perfect. I haven't found any other nails out th...ere that I can just put on without filing down. As far as staying on I think it depends on all kinds of factors I've had nails stay on for 10 days or more and other that only last 4 or 5 days. This product is well worth the money.

  Professional look with ease!

  by SarahR_25 (1 review)

  I'm a newbie when it comes to artificial nails, but the tabs make applying these a cinch. There was a size for every one of my nails - no trimming or shaping necessary. The Real Short length is great for everyday wear, and they don't make it difficult to open a soda can, type, or button your pants like longer sets do. I rec...eived countless compliments and nobody could tell they weren't from a salon. I have gotten more than the 7-day wear the box advertises without any problems. If you're debating whether or not to give these a try, definitely do. Love these! June 8, 2009, 11:01 pm

  these pretty much rock

  by NotQuiteGlam (108 reviews)

  Top 500 Reviewer

  I have a coworker who wears these, and we found out because somebody asked her where she gets her nails done. So I had to try them, and I'm really happy with them! They look like they're for real, and the glue holds well, which it hasn't in the past when I've used fake nails. In fact, I'll probably wear these for my wedding... because I HATE having long nails but I want my hands to look good, and I don't want them to get destroyed by getting acrylic nails for 2 days. Good stuff. :) May 18, 2009, 10:05 am

  real life, real pretty

  by SteepingBeauty (18 reviews)

  totally pretty set of nails. apply the day before your event and expect them to last 4 days, keep the glue and extra nails handy for on the go touch ups and replacements! Great value for the money, no expensive manicure procedures, waiting in line, inhaling all the salon fumes! great lengths for women who need to use the...ir hands! October 6, 2008, 7:10 am

  Natural Looking Nails

  by fabulousover40 (87 reviews)

  Top 500 ReviewerTotal Beauty BloggerTrusted Review

  I asked a co-worker, Katie, to try out these Broadway Real Life Nails for me. She said they were easy to apply and looked very natural. They stayed on for about 3 - 4 days before they started randomly coming off. Katie really liked how they made her hands looked and I have to say I surprised to see how realistic they looked October 5, 2008, 5:09 pm

  Cute,but didn't last. Although they were fun to pull off.

  by Starberry (10 reviews)

  This was my first time using fake nails, so naturally I was very hesitant. I found this kit to be very easy to use for the first timer. When I was done, they looked great and very convincing. Unfortunately, the glue started to lose it's hold within two days and my nails started falling off. I wasn't doing anything rough wit...h them, simply everyday things. I was disappointed that they didn't last very long. Although the instructions say not to force them off, I was able to pull each nail off with ease. All in all, while they did look good, they didn't hold up very well. I would only suggest using these for a short special event or occasion when you can't head to the nail salon.
