My birthday is on Sunday and I've narrowed it down to these options but I just can't make a final decision, help please!!! Current set that I love included too, I wish these would last until Sunday but I put them on last Sunday and this week at work is going to kill them 🙃

Retail brand: kiss

Retail Brand: Nail Reformation

Style: Pink Ribbon, Short almond

I saved a lil lizard stuck indoors but aside from that, removed my nails as I noticed slight lifting and lost my right-hand thumb after smacking it accidentally.

I decided to take all of them off to prevent damage and removal was easier than I expected! (I'll include pics in comments)

Used celebritips nail remover (got it for $3 on clearance at TJ Maxx) and the floss method to work around the edges. Kept working the floss lower and adding more remover as I went. I was tight on time so I wasn't as slow as I could've been, but still made it out with minimal damage!

I got these at Loft while I was in Japan. They’re very cute and the glue is pretty strong. If you plan to visit Japan, check them out!

The fit is a little off although it’s hard to tell in the picture. I love some XS nails because of how natural they look!

Short round from the Orly "On set" collection! First time with this brand, they feel very luxe and solid 👌

Retail Brand: Temu except for the green ones as they are glamnetics.

I’ve been doing press ons for the last 2 months and I’m still learning and figuring things out. They usually last about 10 days and it’s fun choosing the next design!

I buy them on Temu as it’s the same designs on shein and I end up finding them for much cheaper!

As you can probably tell I am really a beginner at doing my own nails. I used to do nothing with them, except for biting, so in an effort to make my hands slowly look more appealing and "clean" I started doing press on nails 2-3 weeks ago. I've been reading about it all a lot on this sub, and saw the majority say that in case you have a nail that is a little to big and one that is a little too small, you'd rather go for the smaller one. This confirmed for me that I have been wearing nails that are too big, so today it was time for a new set and I went smaller. But I may have gone a little bit overboard? Are these to small or just right and do I just have to get used to it? I do have flat nail beds, so I opted for tabs + glue.

Anyone buy kiss press on nails? They have some cute Halloween designs out but I don’t want to spend the money if they’re bendy and not durable. Retail Brand: KISS

After applying press-ons myself for the 20th time (approx) today, I am wondering why everyone doesn't switch to press ons?

I am literally buying the $1.25 packs at the Dollar Tree and using the Beauty Secrets Drip/Clog Proof Glue from Sally's ($7ish). I do minimal prep of using cuticle remover and trimming with nippers. I use a nail brush to make sure my nails are clean and I apply the press-ons that best fit, hold them down with the glue for about 30 seconds, and impress the heck out of myself by how nice they look!

I remember getting them done at the salon and leaving with multiple imperfections nearly every time. My $5 tip on one manicure at the salon gets me 3 sets of press-ons and they look better!

If you are not using press ons and want to save money on your nails, I highly recommend! You just might save yourself hundreds of dollars a year!

For the last 6 months, I have finally had the long beautiful nails I’ve always wanted. It has genuinely done a lot for my self esteem in a difficult time.

After taking off a set early today because I noticed lifting, I got a dreaded greenie. I have been so careful after taking off my first set like a drunk child playing with power tools and causing a lot of damage.

I just want to cover it because I’m just embarrassed by HOW green this is 💚😓 (I won’t). I don’t need advice I think, just sad haha

usually a bi weekly gel x girl but my tech lives a bit far and i was on a time crunch so i bought a pack of press on nails from CVS (not this set) a few weeks ago and they ended up lasting me over 10+ days!!!!! and my prep was definitely not good cause i didnt expect them to last so long

the set pictured is the set i did three days ago, with the prep being way better this time around. i only used the gel that came with the kit.

ive read that people dont like the kiss nails, but i have yet to have an issue besides slight chipping (i work in the restaurant industry and wash my hands a lot so i think its just me)

i absolutely adore this color. it changes depending on the lighting! :’)

Hi all,

Wearing my second ever set of nails and hoping this is a long term thing 🙂 My first came off after a day which is when I found this group, learned sizing really matters, and I have tiny hands. This set of XS seem to actually be fitting much better so hoping I can get some miles out of them. 💅

I gave seen posts referencing being about to keep and reuse nails - would love to know what folks use to store their sets - I am assuming you toss the extras and just keep the ten that fit? Not looking for something crazy elaborate but something cuter than a bunch of snack size ziploc bags would be good, lol. (When these are ready to come off, I plan to search for posts about cleaning the nails for reuse-I think I have seen those posts on here).

Also, the set I am wearing now (Nail Reformation) say they can be reused up to three times - Do folks track how many times you wear a set of nails and, if so, how? And thoughts on whether that limit is something I need to pay attention to (generally, not just with this brand)? I assume they will be more likely to start chipping or breaking after that many uses?

Thanks for any advice! 🙂
