This pack came with 24 nails in 10 sizes, nail file and nail glue. Occasionally you'll also get a wooden cuticle stick with some packs but I never really use them and I have a plastic one at home.
Elegant Touch are one of my favourite fake nail brands, I find they stay on a lot longer than most other brands. They are a lot more flexible and slightly thinner which I like. It's got to the paint where it takes me about 5 minutes to do both hands which is nice, so this morning I did my nails after opening up before anyone came in.
The nails I bought today had little tabs on the top of them which makes putting on fake nails about a billion times less messy. I have a little sucker tool at home I usually use for putting them on as it insures that there are no air bubbles between my real nail and the fake one. This is super important when apply French manicure style nails as the majority of the fake nail is translucent, so any imperfection on the nail, or with the glue will show though. Not massively, but I notice and it annoys me.
Although the instructions always say to just put the glue on your finger nail, I tend to put a bit on the fake nail as well. I find this will helps with not leaving any air bubbles. I do one hand at a time and make sure I leave any glue that has spilled onto my finger to dry, so when I start the second hand I won't leave any glue residue on the top of the fake nail as this leaves an uneven surface. And the whole point of wearing fake nails is to look completely polished.
