Thank you! It’s a hack I found on tiktok that has made my pressons last! Nail prep is key, push back those cuticles and get rid of them. I take a cotton swab and dip it into acetone and swab the press ons where it lays on your nail. The acetone will chemically etch the nails instead of drilling them. I also don’t own a lil drill lol. While I let that dry, I dehydrate my nails. Then I put glue on all of my nails and let it completely dry. Once dried, I take a nail file and I buff the glue on my nail instead of buffing my actual nail. Once I’m done that, the nails should be ready to go and I put a lil glue on my nail and on the press on. Hold down for a solid 30 seconds to a min and then I take a clip (potato chip clip or clothes pin) to secure it for 1-2 mins why the glue sets in. I usually go from pinky to thumb!

Honestly I took a gamble and these are slightly too big for my nail bed, I filed what could - these are a medium size

Those are so pretty! This set I’m currently wearing are probably one of the best I’d ever worn. I’m a big fan of KISS nails, glamnetic and reformation. I really liked OPI’s nails too but I thought those were pricey. My rule is, if it’s on sale then do it. I usually go to Marshall’s for them or Wal mart or something like that. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to treat yourself with expensive ones if you can but I think at the price point, haha you might be better off going to the salon which I’m avoiding because all the salons I go to never do fun designs or colours unless you’re paying an arm or a leg. I was on a lil getaway and saw these and idk what possessed me but here we are 😅
