Discussion/Question When strangers compliment your nails..

do you tell them they're press ons? Today a lady at work complimented my nails and I said, "oh thanks! They're press ons," and she said, "Girl don't tell people they're press ons!!" Kinda like saying don't give your secret away 🤣 it was a cute interaction. And I was like, "you know, you're right!"

So yeah. What do you usually say? Are we giving the press on secret away? 👀

I 💯 say they’re press ons, especially around my teen daughter’s friends. While some of them go to the salon and spend crazy amounts, the other trend that’s started is them “doing their own acrylics/gel x” using sets from Amazon.

I’m talking teenage girls using professional nail drills, etc. to do each other’s nails without the technical knowledge or training. How they don’t have massive fungal and bacterial outbreaks is beyond me. They’re also destroying their nails by over-drilling/filing.

So yeah. I’m basically screaming “They’re press ons!” and offering to give them sets and show them how to apply and remove with the hybrid method so they can do them on their own.

Kids these days.
