I’ve saved £300 by buying Primark’s £1.80 nails – they take two minutes to put on & last all week, I won’t ever go back
MANY people like getting their nails done in the salon, but it can get expensive if you like to upkeep the habit.
However, one woman shared how she has now saved £300 but ditching salon nails and instead heading to Primark.
Savvy shopper Teigan revealed she likes to stock up on the budget retailer’s fake nails as part of her beauty regime.
And thankfully they won’t break the bank at just £1.80 a go.
On her @teig4444 account, she said: “The biggest money saver.
“Primark £1.80 nails.
“I chronically got acrylic nails for 4+ years, this has saved me so much money.
“And it only takes two minutes once a week to put them on and change them.”
Teigan said that the quality of the Primark nails is great and they last all week.
She added: “They are so durable.
“I will never go back.”
The amount of money the beauty lover has saved from stopping her salon visits is staggering.
She shared: “I have saved nearly £300 using these instead of acrylics.”
In a clip she showed off the fake nails she was wearing from Primark, and they were in a chic rounded style with french-style tips.
Teigan even had some tips for people wanting to apply the fake nails themselves at home.
She said: “It’’s about the prep!
“You need to proper dehydrate your nails and use a ROUGH nail file, thin layer of glue all over the nail bed AND inside the nail and press and hold for 30-40 sec.”
Teigan said she adds some clear polish over the top to make the design last – and she also just uses the Primark glue to apply them.
She added: “My nails are so dry from using them, but they’re no where near as damaged as they were with acrylics.”
Her view has racked up number likes and comments from Primark fans.
One added: “I love them.”
Primark's best buys for Autumn
Heading into Primark soon? Keep an eye out for these items.
Here, Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals her top 6 buys from Primark this Autumn.
Coat, £60
I know what you’re thinking, ‘£60 for Primark?’ Yes it’s a higher price tag than we’re used to from Primark but its worth every penny.
It’s from their Edit range which is more premium than the rest of their collection and it’s made to last.
It’s a mixed wool blend which is durable and warm, plus its a timeless straight silhouette which is slightly oversized and will last you not only this season but for many after.
Bag, £16
Big bags are back… In a big way, finally.
This tote screams luxury with its croc effect and burnt orange colour, plus its great for shoving in your laptop, lunch, spare shoes, purse – essentially everything you need for the day – all for £16.
Jacket, £32
Field jackets are on the backs of celebrities and catwalk models this season with designer brands Barbour, Burberry and Bottega all championing the utilitarian look.
They’re great for chucking over jeans or contrasting with a floral or floaty dress and are the perfect transitional jacket.
Dress, £18,
You may have seen, heard and read that leopard print isn’t going anywhere for autumn, so to encapsulate the trend this dress is a must.
Sleeves? Check. Midi length? Check. Ultra flattering square neck? Check. It’s got it all.
Pair with black knee high boots or your favourite trainers for the day and dress up with gold heels and accessories for the evening.
Jeans, £16
Barrel, balloon, horseshoe – whatever you want to call them, they are the must have trouser shape of this season.
I’ve tried Primarks pair and they fit like a dream, are comfortable and flattering.
So if you think you have nothing that hits the trend mark, swapping your go-to denim for this shape will bring you bang up to date.
Boots, £24
It’s boot season and instead of feeling like you need to buy one in every colour, length, height – its best to stick to a pair that you can wear with the majority of your wardrobe.
My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw that this black, knee-high, block heel with flat point and side zip (so there’s no tug of war to get them off at the end of the day) was only £24.
If you buy one thing this season, it should be these.
