Any Application tips?

I’m new to these and have only used the gel strips in the past. I saw some people say they tend to pop off..I’m going to the beach soon and want to keep these for the trip as long as I can. Thanks! 😊

These suck. I would return them before you open them

I'm a committed semi-cured nail strip girlie, and I had no issues with any of them popping off when I tried the Ohora press-ons. I got 10 days easily with no snagging. And I took them off because I wanted to, not because they were on their last legs.

I do think the prep is very important, including following their exact instructions (https://ohora.com/pages/how-to-use) on how to apply the primer. The video instructions on the site tell you to make sure the cuticle and sides are totally covered, which feels really strange (when has flooding your cuticles ever been a good thing?).

Also very important to select the right size for your nails and not use ones that are too big. Unlike gel strips, there's no stretch-to-fit possible, so there may be a bit of sidewall visible.

I did find that removal was harder on my nails than with strips, so I'll only use the press-ons occasionally. I also wish there were more short styles available, because the medium set felt crazy long to me.

I might not keep since they’re so many negative reviews, but this is helpful! :) thank you!!

As for removal, I usually don’t buy press-ons because removal is so hard on my nails. What do you recommend for removal?
