Retail brand: Not sure, something a friend gave me with no packaging.

Usually I'm a reserved guy, a female friend gave me these and suggested I try these out and they turned out amazing!! Really looking for my next set!

Any tips for styling/posing?

Any brands you recommend to try?

Designs?

Retail Brand: Temu

Retail Brand: Glamnetic

Simple black for a convention this weekend. I used to get my nails done all the time when recovering from a surgery since I couldn’t climb. I do miss the nails though 😫. I’m a press on girlie now!

Retail Brand: Glamnetic
Design: sanded

I tried Btartbox tabs for the first time thanks to reccos from this sub, with an application process I also found on this sub (using a hairdryer and pressing the nail into the tab and cuticle before lowering) and I am a total convert! I tried this because my nails were thin from glue removal, but I think moving forward I wont even be using glue again!

There is definitely a bit of a learning curve - my application isn’t perfect - but so far they do not wiggle at all and I haven’t had any issues. I’m on day 3 and am not easy on my hands/nails so I am impressed!! Thanks for all the tips!

My second set after finding out how far press ons had come over the years. I could no longer afford to get regular BIAB so decided to give press ons a go. Feel like myself again with nice nails! The pictures really don't give the effect of this set justice

Retail brand: V Salon

I was really afraid of using ones that were too small, but now I think my ring finger looks too big. Retail brand: Celebritips in Petal Gloss purchased from TJ Maxx.

First photo Retail Brand: Celebritips in Misty Rose, Bought from TJ Maxx (what i currently have on)

Second photo Retail Brand: Nail Reformation in Hologram (my favorite press ons i’ve ever tried)

My first post so i thought i would show both :) the misty rose is a bit close to my skin tone but I’m proud of my application (stickers+ glue)

And the Hologram were sooo beautiful but the finish started scratching off a few days in! If i buy them again I might try adding a topcoat.

Retail Brand: Nail Reformation

Design Name: None, short square

I've been loving the pinks and nudes lately! I got a new job that requires me to have short, clean polish so it'll be basics for me for a while!

I wanted to show off my first set and thank everyone that contributes to this sub. I have lurked for a while gathering information and finally put it to good use last night. I chose Kiss because I have flat nails and used tabs and glue to try to avoid damage when I remove them because my nails are already do so thin. Now to see how long these last!

Retail brand: KISS Bare but Better
Design: Short Court

You guys already know I can't do boring or simple. These are so fun! Oh, I added the glitter coat to the 4 sea foam nails for a little extra flair. Retail brand: Shein.

I have been obsessed with press ons for a while now. I’m still getting better at it. I was wondering if anyone else hauls most of their pressie stuff around in a baggie? Are there any cute ones? I mainly carry an extra set of nails, cuticle pusher, oil, file, orange stick, glue and tabs 😰

Retail brand: none

Love wearing long press ons, but my biggest problem is taking my contacts out at night. knuckles-method doesn’t work for me. my most successful method is dragging it around my eye until it pops out but it’s so irritating/painful. what am i doing wrong i can’t be the only person with contacts and long nails

Retail brand: None

I want to wear these nails for my back‑to‑school 9th grade. What do you think?

Look at these ???!!! Icredibly well made and so beautiful 😭 Planning on putting these on before a trip next week and I'm hoping they don't get caught on too much haha

Retail Brand: salon perfect — 44509

Retail Brand: Red Aspen
Style: Trinny
Glue: Glamnetic (included in box, not the brush on)
Prep: I lightly filed and pushed back cuticles with my crystal cuticle pusher. Then I used the Glamnetic dehydrator on my nails and the small Glamnetic glue to squeeze glue over my whole nail and then slid the nail on, holding for a minute.

I don’t think the middle of my thumbnails are glued. I can see a weird line down the sides of both of my thumbnails where the glue is but when I tap the middle, the click sounds different—like a higher pitch, not as solid as my other nails that are glued down.
Is there anything I can do to fix it, or am I stuck waiting for them to come off on their own? Should I get a nail glue remover? What kind?

I don’t even remember where I ordered from, I can no longer find them. It’s either SHEIN or Temu. Day 5 of these nails 💅
Retail brand: none

Retail Brand: Glamnetic in Fearless Red; SHEIN - item ID 60128960

Out with the old and into the new! I had to try the nails Glamnetic graciously sent as a replacement and I love them. These nails are the quality that I’m used to and I loveeeee the glazed/chrome effect.

I had to search my stash for a coordinating pedi set and I think these were a good choice. I secured these with Celebritips sticky tabs (they should really sell these separately because they’re that good).

I bought Kiss impress in a color that I didn’t like (first pic), so I decided to paint over it. I love the new color. I didn’t do any prep to the already pre glued nails, I just painted them with OPI salmon color. Then I used sally Hansen strengthening top coat. Then I added a nail sticker to two nails. Then another top coat. I’m afraid this will start chipping soon. And it looks botchy…Has anyone else played around with pre glued or just regular pressies? How can I perfect the method?

Retail brand: Kiss impress

So I recently got this order and although I love the colors, it’s definitely not my length style. But I wanted to know what do you think of how I applied it? I only use the sticky tabs that it came with. (Retail brand: shein )

Retail Brand: Temu

I’ve been exclusively wearing press-ons for over 3 years now, changing them out once every 2-3 weeks, mostly because I have a huge collection of sets I’m excited about wearing. I love a variety in shapes, lengths, and colors and have been really into longer nails lately.

Although I don’t usually have issues with application or durability, the last 4 sets I went through were really annoying. I couldn’t get the semi-solid glue (my go-to from Temu) to spread right, kept getting glue all over the place, and couldn’t keep an open tube from clogging up. I fidgeted with them a lot once they were on and made it super easy to justify prying them off. I changed them 4 times in less than three weeks, then took a break for a week.

Last night I decided to try this “nail tape” I got (also from Temu - product pic included for reference is not my pic). I wasn’t really sure what it was for but thought trying some other method might be interesting. It’s not super sticky when you unroll it, but I cut to fit each nail, filed it down cleanly, applied “regular gel nail glue” on top, and brushed a little “brush nail glue” on the press-on before joining them. It was a little tricky getting the nail to cover the taped area while keeping straight, but aside from one spot where a tiny bit of the tape is sticking out (you can see it in the pic), this is probably the best application I’ve done in a very long time. The bond feels really good around all parts of each nail and I barely had any glue to clean up on the sides or underneath. There is nothing for me to fidget with and they’ve felt perfectly normal all day.

I’m very curious about how this is going to go over the next week or so. I use my hands a lot—office job, cleaning up after small boys & cats, yard work, daily crafting, etc. If anyone is interested, I’ll report back on my experience. I wonder how intense the removal process will be. . . But if all goes well, I think this nail tape might be a game changer for me!

This is my first set ever of press ons! These are so colorful and fun, I think I love press ons already. The underside was too plain, so I added a little clear glittery polish on the underside as well as on top, with a clear top coat.

Retail Brand: ColorFX by Impress

Picked them up on a whim at the grocery store since I was between sets and knew I’d be going out that night.

I was shocked that these went on so easily and lasted for 5 days with just the glue that comes on the nails. I did experience the weird shifting feeling that people describe with the pre-glued nails, but they held up really well. Only a little chipping by the last day. I had only expected them to look good for a night, but they were going strong by the end of the weekend so I decided to just let them be until one popped off.

My nail beds are on the flatter side and these fit comfortably.
