I was given the opportunity to “try” on some great eyelashes and nails by Revlon.  Through a little trial and error I found that I liked the self-adhesive Eyelashes and the new Runway Nail Collection in Stella.  So here is an excerpt of my adventure!

First, READ the directions and make sure to have acetone polish remover handy to help remove any left-over glue on your fingers when applying the nail set.  After a few missteps and glue everywhere, I used a Q-Tip to apply the glue to the artificial nail and real nail - then magic happened!  My short stubby nails were transformed to long, salon ready nails.  Take that expensive manicures…

Revlon Fantasy Lengths with self-adhesive tape was a welcomed change to my sticky nail glue experience.  At that point I did not trust eyelash glue near my eyes ( I was afraid I would never open my eyes again)!  The self-adhesive technology was FANTASTIC and the lashes looked great.  The lashes took my eyes from frumpy to va-va-voom!  And removal was simple - a little eye make-up remover. 

The Revlon Artificial Nails - with glue as good as the salons have - and Revlon Fantasy Lengths are two products that I will keep handy in my make-up drawer.  They are found everywhere that Revlon is sold and are very, very, budget friendly!
