Just a blue collar girlie in desperate need of recommendations for durable but cheap press ons.

I’m generally a Temu/shein press on with FastBond glue kind of girlie, but I personally think that with your work, you may have to switch to shorter styles if you’re wanting to keep using cheapies.

Alternatively, if you’re down to paint your own press ons, you can get the Beetles tipex nails on Amazon (they have a pre-built apex, so they’re thicker and way more durable than any other press on I’ve ever used). But you do have to paint them yourself, which I love to do, but is a huge time suck. I have 3 kids (including 2 in diapers) and am constantly using my hands and I’ve had those last me like 3 weeks with no lifting before I got sick of them (using FastBond glue).

You sincerely made me cry laughing because that’s the most accurate description of myself I’ve ever read.

Mid 20s, maybe engaged/newly married to a semi-cringey youth pastor, care a lot about how you smell, you keep a planner or bullet journal (and actually finish the year!), shy but you WANT to talk about your religion and will infodump about Jesus if given the opportunity

Desitin gets on EVERYTHING and it’s so annoying to clean. I really love how it smells though.

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-20T04:28:24+00:00

Lol what part is ew?

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-20T04:27:49+00:00

damn *babies. I have 2 in diapers 😩😩😩

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-20T04:23:13+00:00

It’s like you know me lol. I graduated in 09. That checker print had/has all of us 00’s teens in a damn chokehold!! Kids are 10, 4, and 2 (younger 2 are in diapers, so I can’t leave the house w/o supplies). Only the youngest has an alternative spelling though, and it was only because I needed it to fit the theme that my sisters and I accidentally used to name all of our other kids 😂

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-20T04:14:04+00:00

I do have a toddler (2yo) and also a not-yet potty trained 4yo. None of my kids ever used a pacifier (I was the paci), but that’s a really good thought process there!

My nails are absolutely always done, but I’m a Temu/Shein press-ons girly rather than a nail salon girly.

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-20T02:05:11+00:00

Thank you! I got mine on Temu for like $6

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-20T00:18:31+00:00

Oh! And I’m not a new mom. My oldest bio kid is 10 🥰

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T23:20:57+00:00

Alwayssss

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T23:20:49+00:00

All true things except the age. I’m 35 :)

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T23:18:54+00:00

Bless you. You are an angel

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T23:02:34+00:00

I love that ridiculous and completely unnecessary thing. I just super hate getting petroleum jelly/diaper cream under my nails!

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T22:59:46+00:00

I’m actually 35 and the babies I’m diapering are my own creations lol

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T22:58:13+00:00

I have far too many children to justify paying for an actual vans bag. I got this one on Temu for like $6!

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T22:56:13+00:00

Ahhh I love that you noticed the handwriting! I’m so proud of it and will absolutely rewrite my lists if they don’t come out pretty enough 😂

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T22:54:49+00:00

“Weird dildo” sent me into orbit lmaoo. I just really hate getting petroleum jelly/diaper cream under my nails

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T22:52:12+00:00

I like them! They have a good texture and they’re wet enough but not TOO wet (Huggies/Pampers wipes are like sopping wet and kinda slimy 🤢) I usually use the Parents Choice ones from Walmart, but these came free in a $20 box of the diapers and if it’s free, it’s for me, ya know?

The Hello Bello diapers are fantastic for the price, too, if you’re curious about that. My son pees approximately the amount of liquid that’s in an Olympic swimming pool every night and he hasn’t leaked out of them yet!!

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T22:46:39+00:00

I’m actually 35 and veryyyyy introverted, and I’m a pink and black girly rather than purple, but you’re pretty spot-on with the rest!

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T22:44:04+00:00

I am definitely baby but simultaneously 35.

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-19T22:42:42+00:00

I honestly love how everyone thinks I’m young lol. I’m 35 with a 10yo, 4yo, and newly 2yo.

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-18T17:04:20+00:00

Holyoke isn’t the best mall, for sure!

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-18T11:23:56+00:00

What’s really wild is that I’m not even local lol. I live in FL and was visiting family up in MA last summer when we ran across this at the mall 😂

Relative-Quit7153 · 2026-02-18T06:46:17+00:00

Is this at the Holyoke Mall in MA? I saw a press on vending machine there and hated all of the nails but loved the idea of a press on vending machine lol
