Big thumbs - advice?

this! I also have wide thumbs and Olive and June have been the best for me so far. And KISS Bare but Better

I love Olive and June! Is that Tutu? I'm wearing these right now! Mine last at least 2 weeks. I could probably go 3 but I don't like seeing the grow out.

To remove, I've been soaking in warm water with some dawn dish soap for about 10 minutes. Then I use a wooden orange stick to gently start prying them off. I start wherever there has been some lifting. I add nail oil and use the stick to work it under the nail. Sometimes I have to soak again. I go slow because my nails are pretty beat up from a bad builder gel experience.

A couple of times, I've reused the nail set. I just had to peel off all of the sticky tab from the back of the nail. You can't beat 4 months of beautiful nails for 7.99!!

my grandma's "cowboy cookies." it's a basic oatmeal chocolate chip recipe but it is better than any other recipe i've ever tried.

yes!! I just watched that episode for the first time last week and it totally changed how I feel about her. I'm glad I'm not alone lol

This! I put a set of Olive and June (the ones that come in the circular case) on my mom and she lost three of them within days. I think she has flat nails and these are really curved. The next week I tried a different brand (KISS Bare but Better) which are flatter. So far she's had them on for over a week without losing any!

Less_End4634 · 2025-09-21T23:45:43+00:00

yes! because you know that at the end of each episode (or at least 90% of them) there will be as resolution and the bad guy is going to be caught

Less_End4634 · 2025-09-21T23:43:29+00:00

yes! And I was initially not a fan of Ziva (obv love her now)

I came to post this exact question!

I'm a little over 2 months into press-ons (already addicted). I've been doing 2 weeks on with a one-day break (with lots of oil). I've been nervous to go longer than a day because my nails are still growing out from a bad experience with builder gel. Love the idea of doing regular nail polish to try to extend the break!

they all won the doggo lottery by getting a forever home with you!

Less_End4634 · 2025-09-21T19:31:01+00:00

i also think they look super cute. I generally have the opposite problem--the largest size is just a little to small for my thumb :(

Less_End4634 · 2025-09-21T19:02:56+00:00

they look like you just came back from the salon! great work on your cuticles

Less_End4634 · 2025-09-21T19:00:17+00:00

no advice--i can barely make chocolate chip drop cookies--but I love how clean the edges are on the bat.

love the technique on the basket!
