My Experience Wearing Aurora French for 7 Days

Real Talk — Aurora French
I bought the Aurora French because I was over chipped polish and expensive salon runs. I’m Sarah, 27, from Melbourne, and I run the Shopqaq blog. I’ve tried heaps of press-ons. This one stood out.
First thing I love: they’re Handmade in Australia. That matters. The fit felt thought-through. The finish? Proper stunning. Not that cheap, plasticky look. These actually pass for salon nails on first glance.
Application was quick. I used a thin layer of glue and pressed each nail on for 15 seconds. They sat flat. No awkward gaps. The French tip is crisp. The aurora shimmer gives a subtle luxe vibe. I reckon these will turn heads at drinks or a wedding.
Compared to salon nails: they don’t require hours in a chair. Compared to typical store press-ons: the quality is a step up. Thicker, smoother, and the shape is nicer. But they’re not completely foolproof. You still need care.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Lasts about 10–14 days with normal wear.
- Pro: Handmade in Australia — proper attention to detail.
- Pro: Salon-like finish. Crisp French tips and subtle shimmer.
- Con: Needs careful removal to avoid nail damage.
- Con: Sizing can be fiddly if you’ve got weird nail shapes.
- Con: If you’re rough with your hands, edges can lift after a week.
Overall? I’m impressed. For twenty bucks, these give you salon vibes without the time or price. I’ll wear them for dates and events. I’ll swap to short nails for surf days. But for everyday glam? I reckon they’re a winner.
FAQ
How long does it last?
With normal wear I got 10–14 days. If you’re gentle and prep the nail well, you can squeeze up to two weeks. If you’re doing heavy gardening or styrofoam duty, expect less.
Is it waterproof?
Yes. They handle showers, dishes, and quick swims fine. Don’t live in the sauna or soak them for hours. Prolonged soaking will loosen the glue.
