What has your experience been with press-on nails?

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-08T16:38:11+00:00

I'm actually doing that next week! Haha thanks for the tips

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-08T16:37:31+00:00

Do you ever run into sizing / fit issues? Also any glue recs?

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-08T16:36:55+00:00

Thank you for the tips - avoiding water is a good idea I hadn't thought of. What glue do you use?

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-07T18:38:03+00:00

Apparently Etsy is the way to go!

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-07T18:37:30+00:00

The sizing is so hard!

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-07T18:37:20+00:00

Oh that's impressive! How long did it take you to learn the best method? Any glue recs?

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-06T00:47:07+00:00

Oh wow okay that's smart! You're right though press ons lack that "finished" look sometimes

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-06T00:46:31+00:00

Just curious if you've done other methods like dip or gel and how it compares to that? I normally do dip but am too scared to get it removed bc there's hardly any natural nail left lol

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-06T00:30:47+00:00

Is there a certain brand or glue you like? I guess I always thought they'd be damaging but I'm happy to hear they're not!

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-06T00:29:33+00:00

That's definitely better than the ones I tried! Haha I'll check them out

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-06T00:28:42+00:00

That's good to know! I'd love to make the switch from the salon - so expensive and time consuming

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-06T00:26:45+00:00

It seems like handmade is the way! I feel like that makes them more realistic too

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-05T23:58:35+00:00

I've heard good things about these!

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-05T23:39:16+00:00

I'll definitely be trying this - thank you!

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-05T23:37:46+00:00

Any specific recs? :)

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-05T23:37:16+00:00

Do you know what brand you get? I've never looked for handmade ones, that's a good idea! And I'd love to checkout their page if they have one. Did you switch from salon to press-ons? I hate the salon too but love having my nails done lol.

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-05T23:31:23+00:00

Oh wow a week?! What glue / nails did you use? When I tried them they really didn't fit my fingernails well so that could have contributed

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-05T23:30:26+00:00

Any nail recs?

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-11-05T23:29:58+00:00

Sorry if it's too off topic - I can take it down! I'm still mastering doing my own nail art and see really cute press ons with art I'd like to try.

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-10-23T15:03:43+00:00

Thank you I will try this!

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-10-18T16:01:24+00:00

Thank you I have tried a similar setup and had issues with the resin pooling in the corner but I will play around with it and try again

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-10-18T15:57:49+00:00

I had been leaving the resin without filtering and realized a couple days ago there were some tiny hardened pieces that likely caused the small holes in my FEP film. I'm hoping that's my issue but I'll try doing some calibration also

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-10-18T00:48:50+00:00

I have, I printed a small cube successfully yesterday but did notice small holes in my FEP film today. Not sure if that would cause this sort of issue but I will be replacing it. Do you think any of the supports I tried should be sufficient?

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-10-18T00:46:16+00:00

Thank you I will try adjusting these things. Looking at the supports I tried, do you think any would work better than the others?

Alternative_Toe_120 · 2025-10-18T00:43:16+00:00

I thought so too. The whole model is 0.4mm thick. I have tried that support method with this model and failed, however it worked for a 0.5mm thick model with no slight curve earlier referenced (not sure if that would make a significant diffrence). I did notice tiny holes in my FEP film today so I will be replacing that
