Why I'm Obsessed with Aurora French (Honest Review)
Share
Best For: Busy gals who want salon-ready false nails at home
Price: 20.95
Real Talk
I ordered the Aurora French because I was sick of chipped polish and rough salon appointments. These are press-on false nails. Pretty, neat, and handmade in Australia — which I reckon is a massive plus. They arrived well packed. The finish is stunning. The French tip is crisp, not weirdly thick like some store sets.
I’m 27 and picky. I wear a lot of my hands at work and on weekends. These held up better than I expected. They look like salon nails out of the box. Not quite a gel fill for longevity, but visually? Spot on. The sizing is generous and there’s a heap of sizes in the pack. I filed one edge to fit my pinky. Easy tweak.
Glue is included. I used the glue and got about two solid weeks with zero drama. Took them off carefully with acetone and they came off mostly intact. If you’re rough with your hands you might see early edges lifting. For a quick glam up before a night out, or a chill fortnight of good nails, these are ace.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Handmade in Australia. Feels premium.
- Pro: Lasts around 10–14 days with glue.
- Pro: Salon-level look straight away. Crisp French tips.
- Pro: Loads of sizes. Easy to file for fit.
- Con: Needs careful removal with acetone to avoid nail damage.
- Con: Glue can be messy if you rush. Smell is noticeable.
- Con: Very active hands may see early lifting.
I’m straight up impressed. These don’t replace a professional gel set if you live for months of perfect wear. But for price, convenience, and look? I reckon they beat most drugstore tries and sit close to salon quality. The fact they’re handmade in Australia makes me happy to support local. Would buy again. Already did.
FAQ
How long does it last?
I got about 10–14 days using the included glue and normal daily wear. If you baby them and avoid heavy water time, you might push to three weeks. If you’re rough with your hands, expect earlier lifting.
Is it waterproof?
Yes, the nails themselves are waterproof. The glue can weaken with long soaking (think baths, dish washing without gloves). Showering is fine. I reckon wear gloves for heavy chores to keep them glued on.
