Invogue Glossy Blue Oval Nails

Invogue Glossy Blue Oval Nails is a press-on nail set in a glossy blue on a rounded oval tip, for the weeks when a nude manicure is not the point. Blue is the shade that behaves least like a neutral: it does not try to match your skin, it sits against it, and on a curved nail the shine follows that curve as a soft band of light instead of a flat highlight. The oval edge keeps the set wearable while the colour does the talking, which is a more comfortable combination than a sharp shape in a strong shade. The set holds 24 nails in graduated sizes.

Benefits

• The blue and its shine are both already on the nail, so there is no colour coat, no top coat and no drying time to plan around.
• A rounded tip softens a strong shade, so the blue reads as a choice rather than as a costume.

How to use

• Fit the 24 sizes dry first and choose the nail whose curve follows your own, because a strong colour shows a bad fit at the sides.
• Apply glue to the back of the nail, press for a few seconds, and work from the little finger inwards.
• Wipe any glue off the surface straight away while it is still wet; on a glossy finish a dried smear stays matte and visible.
• To take a set off, soften the glue in warm soapy water and ease each nail up from the side; never pull one that is still holding.
