Kiss Everlasting Pearl French Tip Real Short Length Nails Review

I was so excited when I found these at CVS!

I could not find these in the real short length before. So when I saw them, I had to snatch them right up! Of course, getting $3 ECBs back from CVS was nice too.

These pearl French tips come in medium size as well. The Real Short Length number is 55360/EF09. The kit comes with pink gel nail glue, a cuticle stick, and emery board. I used the nail glue in the kit.

The nail base is opaque, not clear. so that with the pink gel nail glue under it, 

my short nail edge is not so visible in natural light.

I really like the "real short length," and square tips. The pearl tips have a shimmer to them. 

The difference with Everlasting French Pearl is that Pearl is not a bright white compared to their other Everlasting French full cover nails. The Pearl has a more subtle look to it.***

 As you can see, the "real short length" still pops up over my fingers' edges. 

If you have long nail beds, you might want to choose medium length.

3 of my favorite things:

1. Journal
2. Starbucks travel mug (got free refills all during the month of January!)
3. A new pack of Kiss nails

I never thought we'd be going into our 3rd month (THREE!) of hotel living. And that buying a place to live would be so difficult. The stories I could tell you...
It's these familiar things that give me comfort.

Have you tried Kiss nails with pearl French tips? Do you like them more, less or equal to the white French tips?

Today, I'm wearing nails I painted back in August. *Click Here*

They're based on Robin Moses Nail Art.

I brought these nails along with many of the other nails I own in the car when we moved.  I used Kiss Everlasting Real Short Length. They are the ones that look like gel nails. #5424B/EFS01

Here's a pic

 

 The old box had "Salon UV Gel Effect" but now it doesn't 

so I have to go by the numbers to get the pink gel nail base.

I put the ones I have in this empty Kiss blank nails box.

Yesterday, I went to TJ Maxx and even though I don't need any more nail polish I succumbed and bought this:

Your Hut or Mine, Fair Game, Da Bush, Lion Around

Da Bush, and Lion Around

Your Hut or Mine, and Fair Game

Probably strange to show the bottles without swatching the colors. 

I'll get to that one day...once we're out of this hotel and settled.

I've been so stressed by this move, and buying a home, I've reverted back to stripping the bark off my nails. They're just sub-nubs now.  I'm carrying a matching set of black luggage under my eyes.  We're hoping the ordeal will be over soon. My husband and I are just wrecked.

But when I put on some nails, ahhh...I feel so much better. This length is really comfortable for me, and gives me a feeling a being pulled together. Does that make sense?

(Also, the glue on nails keep my hands out of my mouth. :x)

I want to say thank you and welcome to my new subscribers!

Time to go make lunch. Take care and I'll see you soon!

Thanksgiving Mani

Seeing everyone's holiday manis put me in the mood to have one of my own.

Gosh, this was a difficult one to photograph.

L-R:Wocka Wocka!, Excuse Moi!, Designer...de Better!, Warm & Fozzie, Pepi's Purple Passion

 

• With Pepi's Purple Passion I made french tip side swipes.
• Then  Excuse Moi! along the bottom for a glitter edging.
• With my dotting tool I used the remaining colors.
• On my thumbs and middle fingers I added gold and ruby rhinestones for some glitz.

These are the nails I used:

Because mine refuse to grow. 

Did you do a special mani for Thanksgiving?

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Real Short Nails Storage

I've been working on packing to move. One day, I put all the boxes of my Kiss Everlasting French Real Short Length Nails together, and found I had this many:

Some are not completely filled but still, that's a lot of nails. I've been buying these for months, mostly every time there is a sale or I have a coupon.

A little bit about our move...

We're planning on fitting everything we are moving into one of these cubes. They aren't very big. We're selling most of our furnishings, and putting everything else into boxes and into this cube.

Well, we don't know when we'll see this cube again. It might go into storage for a couple of months. Or we might have it delivered shortly after we move. We just don't know yet.

I'm not packing my glue on nails or polishes. Those are coming with me in the car. It's a small car, and we laugh about how much stuff we want to take in the car. How it's going to be piled on top of our laps as we ride across the California desert.

With that in mind, I'm doing my best to consolidate what I have into something more manageable than what I have now.

After using up most of the nails in this Kiss 100 nail blanks package, I consolidated what remained into a new container, and kept this because I knew it would be used for something. Fimo, rhinestones, or other nails. I just didn't know.

Until now...

I sorted all the nails in all the French Tip Everlasting boxes into the empty container.

On the top row are 12's that fit on my left pinky (there were too many to fit in the end section) Left hand: thumbs, index, middle, ring, pinky nails.

Bottom row: Size 0's that can be cut down to fit either thumb nails. Right hand: Thumbs, index, middle, ring, and pinky.

I cut the top off one of the boxes to divide the pinkies from the thumb nails. And so I'd have the package number and nail length for reference.

So now, instead of having 8 boxes to carry with me, I have one, saving space and room in my little car.

This is what I ended up with, from the boxes:

I had used some of the nail files, cuticle sticks and glue from the packages already.

What do you think?
How would you move your polish collection if you had to?
What kind of container would you use?
Any tips?
