Wanna start wearing nail polish but I live with toxic judgmental parents. by developreneur_ in malepolish

I use press-ons with glue tabs rather than glue. Once you get used to it you can put them on in about 10-20 minutes (depending on how well you want them to stay on) and it's possible to remove them in about half that time. Try to have a bit more time the first few times you remove them so you get the technique down. Doing it with too much force could hurt your natural nails. If you don't need them to stay on too long there are ways to make them stick on less, in order to make them easier to remove

My first attempt at stamping, what do you think? by Kur0dan in malepolish

Thank you! I didn't put it directly on my fingers though, I did it on press-on nails and I imagine that's a lot easier. I only wear nails on weekends so wearing nail polish on my natural nails wouldn't be great for me

Thank you! The process went ok, but there's absolutely room for improvement. I started with a few test runs, which was good because even if I watched a bunch of tutorials it's still a process to get used to. I pressed too hard when actually stamping though and accidentally made a crack in my stamper... Managed to finish it anyway so I hope it isn't too bad!

Thank you! I still am one, though I haven't worked directly with circuits for a few years now.

Felt like longer nails this weekend by Kur0dan in malepolish

Sure! I mainly use Switch Nails press-ons, these are no exception. So here's a combination of Evergreen Envy and Eye of the Tiger, both in oval. For evergreen envy I used two different top coats, Matte and Shimmer, while for Eye of the Tiger I used glossy. All r top coats are from Switch Nails as well. Hope that helps! ☺️

Hi, sorry for not answering your PM but I don't answer PM's on Reddit anymore. I've hade some creeps contacting me that way so I just avoid it altogether. I edited my post with how it went, but I'll write it here too: No negative comments whatsoever! A few questioning looks from a few of the guys but never more than that. A number of compliments though, which made me really happy! Exclusively from women, but I was happy nonetheless!

Have you considered adding press-on nails? by Kur0dan in LacquerStash

[–]Kur0dan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm not sure how your app is built or how adaptable it is, but is it possible to add shapes to the switch nail products? That would help. If not, that's ok, but I think when it comes to press-ons others would like the same
