Holly, who now saved a whopping £38.50 with the affordable find, also proudly showed off her new beautiful nude press-on nails with a pink French tip-inspired design and a glossy finish.

Another also had only positive things to say, writing: ”I love the Poundland nails, they are great, and they stay on well, they look very natural too, I currently have the matte black square one.
