High street pharmacy giant Boots is causing a stir in the beauty world with a set of affordable, salon-style nail extensions that have left customers, particularly NHS workers, thoroughly impressed. The Elegant Touch Fairy Tale Cat Eye Aurora False Nails offer a glamorous, cat-eye effect for just £8.50, and they are currently part of a money-saving promotion.
A Salon-Quality Look for a Fraction of the Price
The viral nails capture the popular cat eye design, which creates a mesmerising, reflective shine reminiscent of a feline's eye. This particular set, in the shade 'Aurora', is a soft, princess-like pink and comes in an almond shape. Crucially, the pack includes adhesive and a variety of sizes to ensure a good fit for most users, allowing anyone to achieve a professional-looking manicure at home without the salon price tag.
One ecstatic customer, who said they "never leave reviews," felt compelled to share their experience, stating they were "blown away" by the product's durability. "I applied these nails Thursday, it’s now Sunday - I’ve been to a festival, scrubbed my bathroom, stripped my bed and done a load of washing and they’re literally still perfect!" they wrote. The review highlighted a key benefit for many: "I can’t have my nails done as I work in the NHS but these will be my go to now for pretty nails on the weekend."
Current Boots Deal and Alternative Options
Shoppers can currently get an even better deal, as Boots is running a 'Buy One Get One Half Price' offer on accessories, which includes false nails. This makes the already budget-friendly product an even more attractive purchase.
While the Fairy Tale Cat Eye Aurora nails have garnered significant attention, they are not the only option available in the range or under the promotion. Other styles include:
- Elegant Touch Cat Eye Twilight Berry (£8.50) - A deep red, square-shaped design.
- Elegant Touch Cat Eye - Glittering Chestnut (£8.50)
- Elegant Touch Petite Nails Cat Eye - Warm Velvet (£8.50)
- Elegant Touch Gel Finish - Jungle Queen (£7)
One reviewer of the Twilight Berry nails called them "beautiful," while another noted they were "a little long" but easily solved the issue by filing them down after application.
A Practical Beauty Solution for Professionals
The success of these nails underscores a growing demand for high-quality, temporary beauty solutions that fit around restrictive workplace policies, particularly in sectors like healthcare. For NHS staff and others who cannot wear nail extensions on duty, products like these offer a way to enjoy glamorous nails during their time off without the commitment or cost of salon acrylics or gels. The combination of strength, aesthetic appeal, and the current promotional price positions these Boots nails as a standout find in the high street beauty aisle.
