my halloween challenge, #ScaryweenChallenge, is almost over and my nails have been pretty weakened by all the painting and removing the designs with polish remover. They chipped and cracked here and there and recently the thumb nail on my left hand bend over backwards and broke ….
Luckily I had already asked ORLY Germany for a sample of their nail rescue kit, so I could try it out for you and tell you my honest opinion.

tonight I would like to introduce you to the neon beach nail sticker collecction by California Nails.
In my previous posts I already told you a little bit about the Company and also their awesome toe nail tips. You can find the links to these posts at the bottom of today’s review.
I added a fast drying top coat from Ciaté, but it splitted right off after a day^^
So maybe use a different clear polish :)
On the following pictures you can see how difficult it is to catch the pretty neon, which makes me a bit sad. It is much more beautiful.
I paired the neon orange nail stickers with the current nail stickers from p2’s some like it hot LE.
Today I also took pictures under direct sunlight hoping to catch the neon a bit better.
I really like these nail stickers and I pry that they will come out with way more colors and designs. I have never used nail stickers that applied that easy and without any folds and wrinkes.
Sadly today, only after one day I had to take them off, because two of my nails broke off. But the good thing about this is that I know now that you can simply peel them off without damaging your natural nails.

Not only was I lucky enough to receive 3 packs of their toe nail tips, but also the neon beach nail sticker collection. Thank you so much to the super nice team of California Nails!
Currently they offer 22 of 23 different designs for the toe nail tips and 4 neon colors within the neon beach nail sticker collection.
They asked me which designs I liked and therefore send me the following:
The rainbow pastel nail toe tips with glitter are really gorgeous, but it was difficult for me to catch that on camera.
Each pack contains 24 different sized nail tips to choose from. I took all of them out of the package to show what you can expect. I really like that they choose so many sizes and also placed numbers at the tips so you can easily pick them up and get the same sizes for both feet. You can also use your nail file to shape and resize them if needed.
Each pack comes with a small nail file and glue to secure your nail tips.
The set with the skulls also contained a plastic stick/skewer with which you could push back your cuticles. With the other side you could pick up the nail tips.
The application process is very easy:
if needed, shorten and file your natural nails
use cuticle remover and push back your cuticles
(my favorite one is the instant cuticle remover from Sally Hansen)
buff and clean your nails from any dust and oils
(you can use 90% alcohol or polish remover)
find the right size for your toes
if needed, file them to size and shape
apply the right amount of glue to your nail
add the right nail tip and press firmly for 10-15 seconds
repeat with all your nails
last but not least clip off the tips and file the edges
To show you how easy the application is watch either the how to… video from California nails
or watch the version I recorded for you
As you can see, I picked the black silver glitter nail tips with rhinestones to wear first.
The nails should last for about 2 to 4 weeks, depending how well you buffed and cleaned the nails and how well you glued them to your natural nails.
I applied mine last week on Saturday and there was no splitting, or falling off so far. I showered several times and took a bath as well. Nothing happened :)
If you have more questions, you can also check (the german) FAQ on their website.
I also decided to match my fingernails to my pretty toe nails. How do you like them?
The following two pictures show my feet in direct sunlight. Isn’t that pretty?!
I am in love!
