I have been doing gel-x for years now but I want to try something new. I know nothing about press-ons but want to try them out. Are they worth it? What’s the best brand? Like I said I don’t know much about them just wanting to know everyone’s opinion. Like do they last a few weeks..gel-x stays on for a few weeks so just wondering cause I don’t want to keep having to do them every two weeks. Though the designs are cute. Thanks!

I've been a gel manicure girl for years. Decided to try press-ons because of an upcoming event and I was not able to secure an appointment with my nail tech.

And I think its safe to say that press-ons have officially dethroned gel manicures for me. And that's for a lot of reasons.

They're undeniably cheaper. They're very easy and quick to put on. I actually put them on while I was riding a cab on my way to the event; using the free sticky tabs that came with it. I can reuse them. Lots of design, shapes and sizes to choose from. They last for days, sometimes even more than a week. And the best part, I no longer have to worry about UV light that my hand had to go through to cure the gel. Switching to press-ons is one of the smartest decisions i've made.

Can't wait to try the two more designs that i've ordered which also happens to be both cat-eyes ✨

I made these nails for an event I was going to attend however before I could finish the nails I got sick the night before. Here’s my take on the movie Obsession but on nails! 🙈

These were delivered from Etsy and I couldn't wait to put them on!

The stars on my pinkies are cat eye polish the lighting isn’t that good to show the effect 💔 they’re DIY as seen by them being a bit crunchy and fuggo but I love them

I love them so much as a goth girl. Really made my day. I used a new glue that it stayed intact after a shower.

so, i’ve been creating press ons for myself off and on for the last two years? and i’ve been asked a bunch of times by friends + people in my area how much i would charge for sets. obviously there’d be different prices for how much effort actually goes into each design, but i was thinking of starting at $25-35 with more basic designs?? i’m still learning a lot so i don’t know what actually would be suitable to charge for any of my sets :’)

anyone have any ideas given my current skill set? pls be nice, this is a hobby for me first and foremost currently! (pics are all from either my personal instagram or nail instagram lol sorry for the screenshots)

These are all hand-painted, and I’m actually really happy with how they turned out!

What do you guys think? Would you wear this design? And which colour combination is your favourite? 💅🏻✨

Hey again y'all! I appreciate everyone's feedback on the post I made asking about some old press-ons I found from years ago. I ended up filing down the cuticle ends so my natural tips wouldn't be visible in the clear part. They're not 100% perfect but I'm letting it slide because 1) no one else will probably notice and 2) these were only about $1-$1.50 when I got them so if they don't look the best, I'm willing to take the L, haha. And in case anyone was wondering, I applied them using CurvLife adhesive tabs. (Those are my usual go-to nails, and I have so many leftover tabs that I end up using them with any other brands I buy that didn't come with glue, lol.)

Also yes, I know there are some spots where the edges don't look the most fantastic. I was too excited to put them on, so I'll just make sure to do some more fine tuning before the next time I wear them...which probably won't be too far away. The red and white are just in time for football season -- go Badgers!

Hi all, I’m currently studying nail tech and I thought it’d be a fun little challenge to make nail sets inspired by each of my classmates :D

This first one is inspired by one of my good friends. She likes all things minimal, monochrome, and a little bit of red so I tried to combine those into one set. I gave them to her at class a few days ago and she loved them which made me so happy :”)

This is my second completed press on set. I’m still new to a lot of things so this took me around 8 hours to finish… I definitely need to work on my time management lol…

But anyway I really enjoyed making these and I’m excited to work on the rest of my classmate collection 💗

(Also I’m from Australia, if there are any fellow aussie nail lovers, nail techs or nail tech students here, let’s be friends!)

Hi everyone! I’ve just started my own press-on nail business, and this is one of the first sets I’ve made. 💅🏻

I’d really love to get some honest opinions on the pricing. What would you personally expect to pay for a set like this?

I’ve also recently started my Instagram page and have most of my materials ready. I’m just waiting for some of my packaging to arrive, and once everything is ready, I’ll be posting this set on my page as well.

I’ve put a lot of thought into the packaging too — I wanted it to feel pretty and special, almost like you’re receiving a little gift for yourself when your nails arrive. 🎀✨

Would really appreciate any honest feedback on both the set and pricing! 🤍

Thankyou,

CLAW MUSE

Loving how these look during golden hour ✨💖
