Magical myths and marvels have fascinated humanity for centuries. These tales and legends are often filled with fantastical elements such as wizards, enchanted creatures, and extraordinary powers. They transport us to worlds where the impossible becomes possible, where entire civilizations are built around magic, and where the extraordinary becomes the norm. One of the most iconic magical figures in mythology is the wizard. Wizards are masters of magic, wielding incredible powers that can manipulate the world around them. They are often portrayed as wise and knowledgeable, using their magic for the greater good.
The faceted nail was fascinating to look at and feel the texture of. Sure, it looked fake, as natural nails don't make those shapes, but I didn't care. Here they are in natural light in the car the day after I put them on:
I used that same treatment in this case, it was the clear shade of Essie TLC to re-glue the nail; it works surprisingly well and I feel it s less harsh than nail glue. They don t have as deep a base curve as my natural nails understandbly, as if they did they would squeeze most people s fingers , so the tips look wide to me, but I got used to them.
They are often portrayed as wise and knowledgeable, using their magic for the greater good. Their abilities can range from teleportation and telekinesis to shape-shifting and spell-casting. Enchanted creatures are another staple of magical myths.
Review: Dashing Diva Magic Press Nails
I’m not really sure what to say except, have you tried this? If not, you need to!
I’ve always seen these Dashing Diva Magic Press-On Nails at Watsons every time I dropped by to stock up on stuff, but somehow have also always been apprehensive of them. To spend money on press-on nails and not be sure if they would last 2-3 weeks? I’d rather get an express gel manicure done for $18 at Far East Plaza.
But then I saw them on Shopee and said, “Screw this, let’s try it.” And so here I am, a couple of sets later and I’m a convert.
Not only are these fake nails so pretty, they also:
- come in a variety of colours, textures and designs
- come in different lengths
- have a slim fit version for thinner nails
- last for weeks
- are very sturdy
These have lasted hair washes, doing the dishes, bathing the baby and more. A note though on washing my hair with these on is that my hair can get caught beneath the fake nails, or between the nail and crystals that are stuck on. It’s slightly annoying but since I don’t wash my hair every day, I’ll close an eye on that.
You can see my other Labien Tweed set in my 3-month postpartum blog post here.
Love the spring lavender colour of these ones! 18k Gold Huggies from Trouvée.Co.When removing the nails, you’ll need to use acetone or maximum strength nail polish remover, and ensure that it gets beneath the fake nails. I tried it with normal nail polish remover and it took me an hour to do that. These aren’t as damaging to my real nails as gel manicures are, so I would go back to them again and again. They are so easy to put on and last for so long – I’m really surprised by this! Just make sure you avoid water for 30min after applying them.
I definitely recommend these. If you aren’t a fan of having long nails, get the short ones – you’ll probably keep them on for longer too. See all the retailers on Shopee or shop directly from the Dashing Diva Official Shopee store.
