Nail extensions can be a dazzling way to express personal style, adding a touch of glamour and elegance to any look. After her expensive salon nails disappointingly fell off, a woman resorted to affordable stick-ons to get the job done.

Quick and easy nails

Hope Mudau, who uses the handle @hope_mudau on TikTok, uploaded a video on the social media platform of herself going to Cotton On to buy R150 stick-on nails. This decision occurred after she spent R500 for a nail appointment, only for the extensions to fall off after two days.
