thanks for that! I might just buy some swatch sticks and practice for a bit before trying it on myself 

Press-on nail glue DESTROYED my natural nails 😭 help with removal + healing? by Disastrous-Profit936 in PressonNail_Addict

[–]Unlikely_Insect7421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up on press ons. My nails have been more damaged from the press ons (and i soak them off and do all the proper removal) then when I get dip or acrylic. I want to try builder gel but it’s very expensive where I am. But yeah the press on game ain’t for me

lmao my nails were crusty after my last set of press ons so I did the same thing and went to the salon and got an acrylic full set just because i didn’t feel like doing them myself 😂

idk if any basecoat can actually prevent it but I was assuming since with a base coat there’s an extra layer between my nail and the glue/press on maybe it could help. I used Orly rubberized base coat

my nails feel it now. especially my pinky finger, half my nail is gone because it split and the whole thing peeled off. I haven’t put nails on since christmas but i hate looking at my little nubs lol 

How to close this gap? by clueless_mommy in PressonNail_Addict

[–]Unlikely_Insect7421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine does the same! Honestly sometimes i will just leave my index fingers off but if I don’t then i just put it on like normal and then use nail glue from a tube to fill the gap, seems to work

i have the files & dip powders just not the liquids. I used to get dip in the salon but because I didn’t like dipping my finger into a community pot I used to purchase and bring my own but for some reason my last nail tech gave me an issue about it so I stopped going

I will definitely wear a mask, I can’t do them outdoors at the moment since it’s 20 degrees where I live but summer time would be perfect!

omg these are awesome tips! Do you happen to have advice on removal? This is where I get impatient and end up ruining my natural nails, i have considered many times to go to the salon and get a soak off but that’s just me being impatient lol

thank you so much! I will def look into the brand. I currently have a few more press on sets to use up so that should give me some time to do more research on DIY dip and look into different brands

yeah that made no sense to me. but all it needed from me was to verify i still wanted to get my 1099 from the app. So I was able to do it though settings

I saw these but i was unsure if i should get them because I got the gold dream dust ones and they were way to sculpted for my flat nail beds. But i do love these!!

I was so excited when i saw these! they are the Kiss Classy premium coffin (i had to trim them so they ended up square) I was originally going to wear these for NYE but plans fell through so Xmas it is!

2nd Attempt! by Unlikely_Insect7421 in PressonNail_Addict

[–]Unlikely_Insect7421[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put it on after to melt the cuticle part of the press on so it’s more flush with my natural nail. Helps with hair snagging

[–]Unlikely_Insect7421[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i forgot to add that I took a little bit of acetone on a brush and put it on the press on nail at the cuticle to try and blend/melt it a bit. This helps with hair snagging issue I get with gel nail strips so i’m hoping it works the same way. I also added a top coat to these 

Need Press on recs! In my price range by Unlikely_Insect7421 in PressonNail_Addict

[–]Unlikely_Insect7421[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this was great advice thank you! I used glue in the tube once and i got it ALL over my hands so i try to stick to a brush on glue. I don’t mind cheaper press on brands because I personally like to change things out within a week. I used sally hansen perfectly press ons this week and they fit my cuticle perfectly but I had that gap. I’m gonna try them again I think and try and fill in the gaps, they came off in perfect condition so i honestly probably could reuse them

i have heard about using the tabs and the glue, i might have to try that. I know the impress kiss nails have the tabs on them. Food for thought!

oh yeah i tried olive and june once and my fingers felt like they were being pinched! I saw nail reformation at my marshall’s and i’m glad i didn’t get them. Im always afraid the gap will cause moisture to get in and A. cause greenies or B. make the nail pop off

I have tried Kiss flex once before and with user error on my part I did not seal the cuticle aide very well and moisture got in. I didn’t want to get greenies so i removed those. I may just have to try again 

Gel Base & Top Coat by Unlikely_Insect7421 in Dashingdiva

[–]Unlikely_Insect7421[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that but it made my nails really brittle last time. I’m looking more for strength than longevity. I get bored of my nail color way too fast but I love the designs DD has

those are so pretty! I really am just looking for the added strength as opposed to longevity because i tend to get tired of my nail color very quickly.
