False nails.
Hi folks. Having never stuck false nails on before I find I am going to have to for my belly dance. The problem is, what to use so they come off at the end of the session. Any Ideas? I don't want to have to walk around with false nails on until they grow out. Lol! People might think I'm weird. Then again, they would be right wouldn't they.

Re: False nails.
A few years ago, "press on nails" basically used double-sided tape as adhesive, and the directions even suggested using an additional piece of double-stick cello tape if the factory adhesive got damaged or dirty or wasn't sticking. As long as the backs of your natural fingernails are clean when they're "stuck on" the adhesive does a fairly good job at keeping them attached, but they're easily peeled off hours later.
Since you don't want them attached for days or weeks, I'd avoid the "glue on" style entirely!

Re: False nails.
Thank you stephanie. I have had a few hints from using nail varnish and putting the nails on over it and waiting until it all dries together to double sided sticky tape. Everyone concedes that glue is a no no.

Re: False nails.
Next question. What do you use for false eyelashes? I have these long ones coming for the belly dancers outfit (and later a genie outfit). I don't want to be stuck in them. Many thanks.

Re: False nails.
The ONLY time I ever used false eyelashes -- which wasn't my idea -- they also came with "peel and stick" adhesive already attached.

Re: False nails.
Did they come off easily?

Re: False nails.
Yes and no? The adhesive was strong enough to keep them in place, which means that it's strong enough to feel like peeling tape off of skin!restricted wrote:Did they come off easily?
That's probably the best analogy I can think of right now: it felt like peeling a thin strip of vinyl electrical tape off my eyelids. They weren't quite as sticky as an adhesive bandage (nor as painful) but I definitely knew they were there!

Re: False nails.
It looks interesting. The problem is that long lashes are needed for the look. Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound as they say.
