If you are opposed to using glue because of wear and tear on your real nails then you need to try the stick on tabs. One reader once commented about fake toe nails, and I had never seen them or heard of them so I was at least interested in the concept. When I received and email from Fing'rs asking me if I wanted to try out their product which includes fake toe nails, I jumped at the opportunity. I have to tell you that it took me a minute or two to get used to the thought of wearing fake toe nails. The idea seemed so weird but then I remembered the reader who said in her comment that she would just throw on her fake toe nails when she had events during the summer and it looked great in her peep toe shoes. Well I decided to put on my big girl pants on and try those toe nails. Can you say sold? I used the sticky tabs which I didn't think would do much of anything, but it was great! You take the sticky portion of the tab and press down on your natural nail. After carefully lifting up the sticker, the sticky part remains on your nails and you simply apply the fake nail. If you apply the fake nails with the sticky tabs the nails will not last as long as they would if you were to use glue. However, I can tell you at least two reasons why the sticky tabs are so much better in my humble opinion:
1) When the nails are finally off, they looked so good that I could have reused them if I wanted to do so I just needed more sticky tabs.
2) My natural nails were in perfect condition!
My fake toe nails lasted for about 3 days but I eventually pulled them off myself, you know I'm a nail polish junkie, but who knows how long they could have lasted.
I know you've been waiting for the entire post for this so here is my toe..lol. Now how sweet does that nail look? I love the short length of the nails for your toes and your hands.I also asked fellow blogger Meandering Memorandum to wear a pair of the nails for me so she again waited for a special occasion to throw them on her fingers. She was too scared to use the sticky tabs so she opted for the glue which held up nicely as she danced the night away.

If my nails even try to look like a disaster at any point this summer, I will be sure to press on the Fing'rs toe nails and go!
