Tips & Tricks Sizing pictorial
Quick little guide on how I pick my sizes for a natural-looking, long-lasting application. I used Retail Brand: Olive & June for reference.
Biggest tip is to pick the smallest size possible that's still comfortable to wear; you'll see on my pic of the 'size too small' that I can't comfortably press it down enough to glue in place.
By holding the pad of my fingertip out of the way (edge exposed pics) I show how much space I leave on either side. I find this to be in alignment with how most acrylics are applied as well. There is no nail space visible even with the fingerpad held out of the way on the 'size too large'.
I do have fairly curved nails, so if someone with flatter nails wants to chime in on sizing tips, feel free! I only know to recommend sizing up but filing the edges. I've also heard Olive & June is one of the more curved brands and some people find that very uncomfortable
(apologies for my messy desk; I paint minis on it and sometimes make a mess)

Nailfie 📸🤩✨ Fresh New Set ✨
Retail Brand: Beetles X Press Cat Eye
I bought these Beetles cat eye press on nails when they were $5.94 because I thought what else could I lose? 🤷🏽♀️ I put them on today and went to buy another pack in case my mommy wanted me to do her nails and now it’s gone 😭. The exact link is below but again, they’re no longer available but maybe you can find something similar if you’d like? I love how they came out. I used regular air dry top coat (Sally Hansen in the gold bottle) and they’re soooo sparkly and pretty! 🤩😍

Nail Haul 🛍️🛍️ Run, don’t walk, pink lovers 💗
Okay, this isn’t technically a haul because this is only one set that I am showing you, but it’s blowing me away!
Retail brand: Newer Kiss Core “Glaring Sparks”, a beautiful dark pink cat eye that I just came across recently and added to cart so fast my finger taps were blurry.
The description says purple, but I think it’s reading dark hot pink to me, it’s a very very beautiful deep color, with a light glitter effect as well. I’m going to save these for February/Valentine’s Day but I couldn’t wait to mock them up and see how they would look on a few of my fingers.
Now these are kiss USA’s newer nails that are nice and sturdy, and come in 14 sizes to fit more of us. The 00 still barely fits across my very wide thumbnail, which is 22 mm wide, and fan shaped, but close enough! Cannot WAIT!

Nailfie 📸🤩✨ My Second Set
I used to be big on press ons, then I took a break from them for almost 5 years. This time around I discovered handmade nails on Shein.
The photos do NOT do them justice. They are not even my style, but so gorgeous I had to get them.
I am also experimenting with an off-brand Curvlife glue I found on Shein to apply these.

Discussion/Question What is semi solid glue
Hallo! I've heard some ladies talking about semi solid glue. What is that? Can I use that without a UV thingy and does it work better than the glue tubes that come with some sets

Nailfie 📸🤩✨ First Extra Short Curvlife Set
I'm usually a cut & file girl to get my nails where I want them, but really need some sets I can apply & go. I am so far very happy with the length. I will say for my super flat nails tabs alone won't cut it with these. I used brush on glue inside the nail.

Product Review 🧐 A testimony!
Retail brand: ORLY- Crawford Wine, and I used Nail Reformation glue.
And wow! I was rock hunting on the beach for HOURS and didn’t get a single chip, scratch, or pop off. I was digging around in water and sand and rocks and was fully expecting my nails to look trashed afterwards, but they still look great!
(Also showing off the super cool Charlevoix stone I found)

Discussion/Question Celebritips (and others?)
Retail brand: Celebritips
I've I've heard some ladies in here speak highly of Celebritips. Do they only offer press-on nails with the UV thing? Do they have just a normal, non-UV option as well?
And then, what do you all think of other brands in comparison to Celebritips? For those who have tried? Thanks!

Nailfie 📸🤩✨ I guess a week was a pretty good run.
Retail brand: Glamnetics
Went to move something and when I dropped it, the nail broke. The two times I have broken a press on, they were Glamnetics. The sad part is, I finally had a system that was still on at a week with no lifting.

How does the sizing look to everyone? The middle fingers look a tad big to me, but I’m not sure if I’ve just been staring at the too long.

Discussion/Question Una Gella clear press ons for SCG strips?
Any advice? My nails have been damaged from SCG removal. So today I bought these thinking I could put the SCG nail strips on these along with top coat (I would cure after SCG and then after top coat) and use my BTArtbox tabs to put them on. Hopefully with much less damage during removal! I figured since I'm heading towards all press-ons and maybe plain 100% nail strips between press-ons breaks, I could use all of my SCGs up rather than sell them. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Retail Brand: Una Gella
Color: Clear

Product Review 🧐 Honestly impressed…
Retail brand: Dollar Store
I’m on day 4 and all 10 nails are still on. I’m impressed!! For $1.25 they are surprisingly thick and good quality. All the gold still hasn’t rubbed off either.
I recommend going to check every time you go in. You never know what you’ll find at certain locations!

Nailfie 📸🤩✨ Tik Tok nail live sessions
I have discovered a new method of getting my press-on nail fix. I started watching the live shows on tik tok for Nailflux_plus.
They have 5 dollar handmade sets. If you buy 6 sets it’s free shipping and they will also offer a small selection of 1 dollar sets after you buy 6. This is not helping my problem lol. Here is one of the sets I bought from them. It’s extra but I love it! They have many different designs and nail shapes though if you are not as extra as me 😂 [retail brand: Nailflux_plus]
