i have a tip when you are ready to remove your nails put some acetone in a sandwich bag and then fill a bowl with warm water stick the bag in the water put your hand in the Ziploc bag it works wonders and speeds up the process of the removing
Just a little FYI from a licensed nail tech, you're not damaging your nail surface if you buff with a soft grit buffer. This is actually needed to make sure nail surface plate is smooth as well as to take out the shine from natural nail to have more grip. Great video overall with tips and tricks!
I’m a nurse and the dashing diva sticker version is AWESOME! They stay on for 2, sometimes 3 weeks and I’m a girl constantly washing my hands, using hand gel and constantly getting into icky stuff from my job and they do the job!
Girl I am a 26 year old gay boy full to bursting with nervous energy and I have bitten my nails my entire life, BUT in these trying Corona times I'm doing my best to quit and this video has helped loads. Day 4 with no biting!
It’ works! Lmao. Hoped it worked for u. Also even if u get real acrylics for 2-3 weeks, it helped my real nails grow ! I’m using press ons cause I’m bored and don’t wanna go to salon!
@@Exxylux thanks for the tip! The press ons have been working ok for me, tho when they pop off, I sometimes still bite my nails, so I just need to stay on top of putting them back on
I’m a chronic nail biter (stress) but saw the impress nails in another video but no tutorial. I ordered them this week and I’ll watch this again to help me because I’ve never worn press on nails. Thank you so much for the tips & thorough tutorial. I can’t wait to try this
It’s a bit of an adjustment when you first try on nails - it’ll feel different. But you quickly adjust and then it’ll feel weird to have them bare, lol. I love how I have an extra layer of protection for my nails!
Wow some people are so rude!! This is YOUR video and can make it however you please! I personally thought it was very informative and fun to watch all the way through 🥰 I appreciate you taking the time to make it and I’ll definitely be trying press ons ASAP!
Awww thank you so much!! I just shrug it off and keep going - not like I can change the video now, anyways, lol! It’s a ready live 🤣 I hope you enjoy your press ons!
I'm so happy I found this video. I can't thank you enough. I had metastatic bone cancer and the chemo took a huge toll on me. I stop getting my nails done at salons just to stop any additional damage to my body. I'm in remission and decided to go back to press on nails. I recently saw and purchased a pretty set of Im Press nails but I don't like the glue tab so I haven't used it because I was thinking I would peel it off and treat it like a regular press on and file my natural nails and glue it. And your video you used both! And I thought that was clever. Then when you said about the nail damage, it was just perfect. And also about the trimming the sides of the nails, never thought of that. I would use it once and throw them away but that's such a great idea. It's the tiniest of things I'm so grateful for now. It made me immensely happy. I can't wait to do my nails and still keep my healthy natural nails. 😃
I’m OBSESSED with these!! I love how thin they are and the short ones honestly just feel like my nails. I forget I’m wearing them & it’s been two weeks! I agree good prep = longer wear. It’s not a quick process for me, but I enjoy the self care time. The fact that they can be trimmed & lightly filed is probably my favorite thing about them. They can really be personalized to fit length & shape which is the best! After removing, I pulled the glue off the nail and saved bc they can def be used again with nail glue. The thinness & breathability is top notch. It hasn’t effected my way of doing things or dented the nails to open cat food cans, fight with a car seat buckle, wash my hair, etc. I also hold at a 45 degree angle & just slightly press toward my nail bed/cuticle to get the most natural look as well as ensuring its tightly down at the base. If not, hair can get grabbed under it which is frustrating, but an easy fix & nothing bad about the nails, just a learning curve. I also love using the gloss strips on my toes! I can do two toes from one strip if I cut it in half before peeling off. I also use cuticle scissors to trim off excess, then file under my nail to prevent creasing of the strip. LOVE this brand!! Thanks so much for all the tips!! I like to think using your tips are the reason mine last 2 weeks and longer.
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! So glad you like the nails as well, they’re sooooo good! I’m such a fan of Dashing Diva! And I’m so glad some of my tips were helpful!
This video is a LIFE SAVER! I'm getting married Tuesday and we over spent on budget so I can't afford 80$ for a good Mani pedi. I got press ons for my hands and I've always had the same experience you did as a kid. They constantly fell off. I'm so hoping I get better results with your tips
Congratulations - it’s tomorrow (at the time of me replying!!) I hope you have a magical day and your manicure is on point with press ons! If I would’ve known about them when I got married, I totaly would’ve used them!
I put the Impress nails on for a Disney trip, and they seriously lasted 10 days and were difficult to get off except my one right thumb. They are a favorite for sure.
I’ve worn Impress nails for 2 weeks, and removed them because I was tired of looking at them...Just purchased the Dashing Diva nails can’t wait to see how they hold up
My favorite is Impress gel nails. Just removed a set that I wore for 2 weeks with no pop off. They are very sticky and I reinforce it wit 2 drops of clear polish. Your video is very interesting. Thank you.
These are some great tips. I am definitely going to try Dashing Diva nails. I'm so lazy with polishing my nails and having to keep them up. I'll definitely come back to this video a few times. Thank you for sharing!
I love the Kiss Impress nails but now I want to try the Diva ones. I also use Super Glue. The one i use also has a brush. I just keep it in my work bag in case i have any repairs to make during the day. I'm on a computer all day and these nails last about 10 days. I also use gloves while cleaning and am careful. I'm very pleased with them! I remember Lee Press On Nails from the 70s. LOL. They barely lasted an hour.
Katie Marie dashing diva is my ride or die #1 fave! The nails are a tinge small but I size down when between sized so it’s cool, & I can get 10-12 days off a set w glue. When I replace the rogue nails who start to work loosened I don’t use glue bcoz I don’t need them to wear as long & I did my index finger/thumb w no additional glue just used their glue pre sticky adhesive & have stayed on good I just prefer to glue mine for the long haul. Pink nail glue works best i was doing original super glue but I prefer pink nail glue got to be pink kind regular nail glue sux but the pink is the best. Forget regular nail glue lol 😂
Thanks for sharing!!!! Another tip for your manicure to last a little bit longer......buff your natural nail I believe with a very fine grit file it ruffs them up just enough for the glue to adhere better and it will last longer!!!!!! also I don't know if you ever do acrylic but check out nail career education her name is Suzie she is amazing and has alot of great tips..... I was just watching her last night and she was saying that you should buff your natural nail even when you are polishing it helps with the polish stick better!!!! and you just got a new subscriber!!!!!
Thank you for making this video, informative and to the to point - great cleaver ideas- thank you for teaching this old dog new tricks - you are a life saver!
I've been playing around with press ons since you mentioned them on Instagram awhile back and have to agree that dashing diva is my fave. Mine seemed to last forever with just the adhesive sticker. I was super impressed!
I lightly buff my nails when I wear press-ons and yes it does work well. I was actually thinking of trying the dehydrator that's placed on your nails when getting a full set at the nail shop on top of my lightly buffed nails in preparation for the press on. I think that might work for a longer hold.
i had to come back to this video and say how well leaving some of my natural nail helps the longevity having that extra surface area helps. I did prep file also. but man i just had a set last me 3 weeks. i just change up my polish. great video
Thank you! Never thought about using the glue as well. I hope this helps mine last longer because when I run my fingers through my hair it always gets caught under the cuticle side of the nail! This will probably solve that issue!
I hope it helps! Also making sure to push the nail into your cuticles and press down firmly before pressing the rest of the nail down will help it get a good seal at the cuticle and keep the hair-snagging away for many days
InspiredByTor I recommend them actually. They are super easy. Especially for me because I have trouble waiting for my nails to dry, and painting them 😂 I always mess them up some how. But I really love press ones. I get them every time I’m at like Ulta or Sally’s
I had an issue with the tips wearing down on the impress nails! Turns out I had them upside down! Once I figured that out had no issues with them! Great video! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for this video! I was thinking about buying press-on nails for such a long time but didn't really know what were the best ones and how to apply them the best.
Very helpful. I took my dips off because they weren't staying on. My nails are breaking because they are very weak. I was afraid to use the glue with these, but with these instructions my nail beds won't be damaged. Thank you.
My 1st time trying the impress nails I just fell in love and now I have an addiction-with them every time I got to the local stores I just have to buy some 5 pairs ❤️😁 And I just add some diamonds or designs to make them cuter ! ❄️

I LOVE KISS Impress nails. Dashing Diva and All Dashing too! I don’t use glue and they last 2 weeks at least. I think the secret is to press each nail for at least 20 seconds and. Put them on just before bed after brushing my teeth👍🤗
Very nice, professional length & glam! Nice job! More than 10 days might not be the best idea because of risk of fungus. A tip I have found that keeps them looking sharp is a layer of clear nail polish to protect the finish/ designs longer.
These tips have been so helpful! I was always wondering why mine popped off and you helped me a lot. Will try this method tonight and will come back with an update!
OK enjoyed your video you’re easy to watch as you talk freely about the product without being boring I really enjoyed it thanks and I’m going to take your tips and try them
Girl I swear I just added this to my blog post list! Such a great idea and so helpful! The Kiss ImPress are the first ones I tried and I love them so much I haven't tried any other brands - I need to venture out a bit I suppose 😂
I love Impress. Fast and CHEAP. I went to get my nails done for probably over 20 yrs. man I got where I hated going so time consuming and now I seen Impress in TH-cam. What a wonderful answer. And I baby these nails. I wear gloves to do dishes etc
Great video. I've heard a lot of great things about Impress and Dashing Diva. I'll have to check them out. Right now I've been obsessed with the Sassy and Chic press on nails from Dollar Tree. Have you tried those? They have some super cute designs and they are only $1.
Me too. Did my nails for 3yrs straight without taking them off and my nails are such bad shape that I had to help them by using press ons for a while. They are in ICU right now 🙁
I tried Dipps and that is what affected my nails. My nails need a break. If this works which I think it will, I'll go for a manicure every few weeks until I get better at this and then will continue to use the press on because they are attractive because sometimes I would like that extra something.
kwc love if it’s removed properly it shouldn’t be ruining your nail bed. But having a break from it is important. I see some people get fungal infection for not giving their nail a break.
Very nice info! Beautiful manicure--looks like a nice holiday or Valentine's look. Glad you mentioned wearing gloves, too. Really liked the nail length--shorter works better for me, as I am brutal on my hands! Will have to try Dashing Diva!
I do wear Kiss nail and I don't have a problem with them. FYI yes filing your nails before glue does work but it had for cause fungus in my nails. So just be careful and mindful.
I usually use a nail oil to massage around the cuticles too loosen the glue and then after a few minutes will use an orangewood stick to slide underneath and they usually pop right up
I wash my hair 2-3 times a week (use a cleansing conditioner) and rely on dry shampoo for the other days. I can wear ImPress for 2 weeks without any lifting or them coming loose.
For me I don’t notice my nails catching in my hair until after a week of wear. Then I’ll feel them catch a bit when washing my hair, but usually not anything too annoying until nearer the 2 week mark 👍🏼
I love your video! Just a tip for you: I notice your thumb is more square close to the cuticle, so if you file the press nail in a more square shape it will be closer to your cuticle and hide your nail better than it is. I have to do the same, but it works! :)
Great nail class, great nails too if was just in CVS looking at these but I wasn't sure about them a it my first time going to wear press on ... So far the ones I buy are too small for may hails I dont know why I have such big nail bed....... I need some help with this thing
I just follow the directions on the impress nails and they last me until I take them off usually 10 days to 14 days, I've Never had one poop off . The only reason I take them off this soon is because the grow out catches on my hair..
Why doesn't any come with same sizes like for my index and ring fingers and pinky take same sizes but they only give you bigger and smaller? Another question do you place nail all way back to cuticles? Or all way back touching cuticle?
I don’t why, but whenever I go to buy press on nails ( Ultha, CVS, Walgreens. Wallmart) they don’t have them at all, or just one or two designs. Silly, because on my opinion they are better than other brands. They hold much better and for a longer time.
Have you tried KISS’s Gel Fantasy press on nails? Those are a lot bigger in the nail bed. I also just discovered Clutch Nails that have larger areas for nail beds
I have chrome and glitter with a neutral tone does it matter how you space the out in pattern I don't want to have too much chrome or glitter I like your designe
I always do my own nails with these press ons, & in my experience the Impress nails have never lasted more than a cpl days without falling off even if I add additional glue.
Love it!! These nails look very festive like Christmas spirit. Your natural nails are very pretty too!! I am using nail stickers and I'm in love. I could try the press on nails in a special occasion. Thanks!
The longer natural nails help the press-on nails last longer primarily because there is more surface area to which the nail can adhere. I saw someone begin with her thumbs in a video. It's good you mentioned it's better to leave them for last. They won't set properly if you're using them to press the other nails on. She also added cuticle oil and hand cream right after she finished getting the nails on before they had a chance to set at all. This will allow the oil and cream to compromise the adhesive. It's no surprise the nails started popping off after a day and a half. She didn't have the benefit of your experience. Your viewers should fare better! I'm curious to try the Dashing Diva nails. If you work with them, please suggest a variety of shapes and lengths. With press-on nails, I can rarely find anything except short and square. I buy the Kiss nails for variety, but the Impress for those times I'm going out and need my nails done in a hurry. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for commenting! I’m such a fan of press ons I wanted to give all the advice I’ve learned over the months of wearing them that helps them work better 🤗🤗 I don’t work with Dashing Diva currently, but if I ever do start to work with them, I’ll definitely mention a variety of sizes! Thanks!
Hi I agree with you on this one. I prefer using the plain longer press on nails. I find that if u buy the pre painted there's only 12 in a box. Im from SA and I bought plain square press down nails R70 for 200. So I have a nail stand and will start painting 15 at a time. Like 15 red then 15 camo colour so by doing that and 1 pops off you don't need to sit and paint its all done. I prep my naels then I buff my own nael and the inside of the false nail with my efile they sick better to a rough service then I apply glu only to the inside of the false nail so that my own nail still has a bit of roughness from the buffing and then stick
Im obsessed with press ons! And all my girlfriends love them too. Most sets last me 10 to 14 days. I've used different brands and had good results 90% of the time. One kiss set just wouldnt stay on and I kept having to re glue them but the other sets have stayed on just fine
Sweetie you are 💜fantastic don't let anyone dull your sparkle.. I have a question. How can I keep my nails from turning green?!!!! I do everything right... an when they start to come off the edges will be green agggh
Oh wow, I honestly have never thought to try crazy glue because the nail glue works so well to keep the nails on as long as I prefer them (about a week and a half). I would imagine jt might not be ideal, since it’s not made specifically for the nails - but I honestly don’t know
Yes, I wear gloves every time I wash dishes or clean the bathroom, etc. but they still last well with some water because I wash my hands a lot and do shower/baths several times a week
I love Dashing Diva. I perfer the gloss strips though. Those last on my for 2 weeks. I have tried the press ons, and they wont stay on longer than a few hours. I was so bummed, bc they have so many adorable styles.
@@pennysplayfulportraits they have a great selection on their website, however, I have bought them instore at Sally Beauty Supply or Walmart, but their selection is limited.
I tried the gloss strips and while I enjoyed them, they didn’t last as long as press ons for me 🤷🏻♀️ but I love that they have both kinds and both are such good quality!
The DD gel nail strips are AWESOME!!!! You must try them. You won't pick at them, because they won't lift. I had mine for three weeks before I finally took them off. And that was super easy too! 🤗
I’ve only tried them once, but they worked okay. I’m too much of a picker, tho, to prefer them. The moment they get a flap to the edge, I start picking until they’re all off 🙈
Have you tried the Kiss brand of press ons? I don’t enjoy them as much because the nail beds are a lot bigger on them. So maybe they would work for you!
Hi can you explain me how you pick the alternate size. I always get the size I need and throw away the rest. I get scared that if I use wrong size I can get humidity under and get fungus. Am prompt to that. Also I have to put glue too because if not the pop out to quick no matter what I do. Am afraid I use my hand to much in Kitchen. 😕
Ive been obsessed with press on nails for the past year and a half😍😍 But i go for the hand made ones from brands like Perfectly_Nailed, The Nailest ect. They make incredible nails and it looks like ive gotten acrylics done at the salon. But ive actually gotten 2-4 sets of nails for the price of one salon set where i live😍💅✨
i have a tip when you are ready to remove your nails put some acetone in a sandwich bag and then fill a bowl with warm water stick the bag in the water put your hand in the Ziploc bag it works wonders and speeds up the process of the removing
Omg, that’s an awesome tip!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
That. Is. Genius!
It works my co- worker told me this trick
Hi I myself tried this, unfortunately for some reason it managed to wreck my skin. Only finally now settling 3 weeks later.
Thanks so much 💗

Are press on nails pretty damaging overall? I want to do these as opposed to going to the nail salon. But I don't want to ruin my nails
@Ema Korumi Thank you, I'm really excited about these. I don't have time to go to the salon and don't want acrylics again.
@@aditi3333 not at all, be gentle with your nails on, DONT PICK, and gentle off 💞.
How do you remove that sticky thing to make your press on nails, stick, I attempted to do it today, and I failed,...it totally did not work,..!
Your tip about trimming the sides...THANK YOU!!! I feel like I’m the only one with baby size nails because you’re the first person I’ve seen say this.
You're actually lucky, my nails are so wide it makes everything difficult, and just doesn't look nice at all, so I have to file the crap outta them.
Lol, I know, I feel like I have baby-size nails, too! Glad it helped you!
I use a nail file! 😘
which part of the video is this mentioned !!
I have baby sized nails too. They are almost all too big. Ugh.
I’m a nurse and the dashing diva sticker version is AWESOME! They stay on for 2, sometimes 3 weeks and I’m a girl constantly washing my hands, using hand gel and constantly getting into icky stuff from my job and they do the job!

Ah yes,it’s been so hard no to touch my face - I get allergies and my nose is constantly itching but I’m like “don’t touch the face!!” 🤦🏻♀️🤣
Hi, I hope you're doing well with not biting! I'm also trying press on nails to help my nail beds heal from nail biting
It’ works! Lmao. Hoped it worked for u. Also even if u get real acrylics for 2-3 weeks, it helped my real nails grow ! I’m using press ons cause I’m bored and don’t wanna go to salon!

You’re very welcome!
I love IMPRESS... I also put a shiny top coat on top! They last me over a week ! I have so many! My new favs!
I've been playing around with press ons since you mentioned them on Instagram awhile back and have to agree that dashing diva is my fave. Mine seemed to last forever with just the adhesive sticker. I was super impressed!
Aren’t they so awesome?!?? I love ‘em!
Hi!! I have a question is it okay if I wash plates or do chores while wearing them? Or it broke easily?
@@celynajoyngco6619 Use gloves when doing a lot of dishes. One or two dish is fine without gloves.
I lightly buff my nails when I wear press-ons and yes it does work well. I was actually thinking of trying the dehydrator that's placed on your nails when getting a full set at the nail shop on top of my lightly buffed nails in preparation for the press on. I think that might work for a longer hold.
I have heard buffing your nails helps it stay longer, glad it works for you!
Dehydrator is a must
I am going to try them for the first time. Thank you for all your tips . May God bless you and your family. Stay safe.
I hope the tips helps! Have fun!
I love dashing diva nails😍 i didn't know they had numbers though 😂🙈 i never noticed.. Thank you! ❤️
Lol!!! Yes they do! So if you figure out your perfect fit, you can write the numbers down and speed line the future mani sessions 🤗🤗
beautiful nails and looks so natural. thank you for uploding
Thank you! 😊
i had to come back to this video and say how well leaving some of my natural nail helps the longevity having that extra surface area helps. I did prep file also. but man i just had a set last me 3 weeks. i just change up my polish. great video
Oh good. I’m so glad that tip helped you!! It really makes a big difference in longevity for me, too. But 3 weeks?! Wow, that’s awesome!!!
I have never tried press on nails, but after watching this video,
i definitely will try.❤
Oh awesome, I’m so glad it was helpful! Have fun!!
Thank you! Never thought about using the glue as well. I hope this helps mine last longer because when I run my fingers through my hair it always gets caught under the cuticle side of the nail! This will probably solve that issue!
I hope it helps! Also making sure to push the nail into your cuticles and press down firmly before pressing the rest of the nail down will help it get a good seal at the cuticle and keep the hair-snagging away for many days
GREAT tips, TFS❤
I've never had good luck with press-ons, but this has inspired me to try them again! Thanks again!
I’m so glad you found it helpful! 🤗🤗
I've honestly NEVER used press-on nails because I wasn't sure how to use them so this was suppperrrr helpful :)
Yay, I’m so glad you found this video helpful!! 🤗🤗🤗
InspiredByTor I recommend them actually. They are super easy. Especially for me because I have trouble waiting for my nails to dry, and painting them 😂 I always mess them up some how. But I really love press ones. I get them every time I’m at like Ulta or Sally’s
Love this~I always feel like a good manicure pulls everything together!
Yes, I feel so much more put together!
this is such an organized thorough video!! loved it! thank you!!
I’m so glad you found it informative!!!!
I had an issue with the tips wearing down on the impress nails! Turns out I had them upside down! Once I figured that out had no issues with them! Great video! Thanks for the tips!
Yay, so glad to hear the nails work for you!
Thank you for this video! I was thinking about buying press-on nails for such a long time but didn't really know what were the best ones and how to apply them the best.
I’m so glad this video was helpful!! 🤗🤗🤗
Very helpful. I took my dips off because they weren't staying on. My nails are breaking because they are very weak. I was afraid to use the glue with these, but with these instructions my nail beds won't be damaged. Thank you.
Oh yeah, these press ons won’t damage your nail at all - in fact, it helps my nails to grow stronger because the fake nail protects it!
My 1st time trying the impress nails I just fell in love and now I have an addiction-with them every time I got to the local stores I just have to buy some 5 pairs ❤️😁
And I just add some diamonds or designs to make them cuter ! ❄️
I can relate - I’m always looking at the different styles when I’m in my local grocery store 🙈
I am always cruising the nail sections of stores! Love to do that!!!
Katie Marie Target and Ulta too! 😉

@Perla Alegria ESPECIALLY U OF COURSE! Hehe :') ^_^
I LOVE KISS Impress nails. Dashing Diva and All Dashing too! I don’t use glue and they last 2 weeks at least. I think the secret is to press each nail for at least 20 seconds and. Put them on just before bed after brushing my teeth👍🤗
Thanks for the tips, that’s great!!
Did you know I've wanted you to do a video on these for a while. I always admire your nails. Woohoo!!! Ok getting my notebook out for notes📝📝📝
Thank you!! Yes, give them a try!
Very nice, professional length & glam! Nice job! More than 10 days might not be the best idea because of risk of fungus. A tip I have found that keeps them looking sharp is a layer of clear nail polish to protect the finish/ designs longer.
That’s true, I didn’t think about the risk of fungus - good to know! Thank you for the tip about the clear polish, I’ve never thought of that!
You are welcome! How has it been working out for you?
These tips have been so helpful! I was always wondering why mine popped off and you helped me a lot. Will try this method tonight and will come back with an update!
So 3 popped off and I re glued them at the cuticles of the nail and they’re still lasting longer than usual for me!
I’m so glad the tips have helped you out a bit!! 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for the tips and showing how to use this product. This was very detailed.
I’m so glad it was helpful!
Who’s watching during the RONA virus?
It’s coming in handy during this time when all the salons are closed!
Meee . Yasss girl
OK enjoyed your video you’re easy to watch as you talk freely about the product without being boring I really enjoyed it thanks and I’m going to take your tips and try them
I’m glad you found it enjoyable!
Girl I swear I just added this to my blog post list! Such a great idea and so helpful! The Kiss ImPress are the first ones I tried and I love them so much I haven't tried any other brands - I need to venture out a bit I suppose 😂
Aww, thank you!! I know, I used to be die-hard impress too, never thought anyone else could do better...and then I tried DD 😍
@@KatieMarie I definitely need to try them out!
I love Impress. Fast and CHEAP. I went to get my nails done for probably over 20 yrs. man I got where I hated going so time consuming and now I seen Impress in TH-cam. What a wonderful answer. And I baby these nails. I wear gloves to do dishes etc
Thank you for this video. I can't afford $65 and $75 to get them done this really helps me out . I'll be watching for more ideas. 😊
I’m glad it’s helpful!! 😊
Great video. I've heard a lot of great things about Impress and Dashing Diva. I'll have to check them out. Right now I've been obsessed with the Sassy and Chic press on nails from Dollar Tree. Have you tried those? They have some super cute designs and they are only $1.
I have not tried that brand, but I recently grabbed a pair at Dollar Tree to give it a try. Curious how I’ll like them! 🤗🤗
@@KatieMarie Yes me too. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts. 😊
Beautiful press on nails ❤. These brands there not for sale in my country. These shorter press on nails looks very nice on you're nails 😊
Nails ruined with acrylics so have started to use these.
I hope these work for you!
Me too. Did my nails for 3yrs straight without taking them off and my nails are such bad shape that I had to help them by using press ons for a while. They are in ICU right now 🙁
I hear you. Acrylic are really interesting and you can do any styles imaginable but they rip my nail beds to shreds so no more acrylic
I tried Dipps and that is what affected my nails. My nails need a break. If this works which I think it will, I'll go for a manicure every few weeks until I get better at this and then will continue to use the press on because they are attractive because sometimes I would like that extra something.
kwc love if it’s removed properly it shouldn’t be ruining your nail bed. But having a break from it is important. I see some people get fungal infection for not giving their nail a break.
Very nice info! Beautiful manicure--looks like a nice holiday or Valentine's look. Glad you mentioned wearing gloves, too. Really liked the nail length--shorter works better for me, as I am brutal on my hands! Will have to try Dashing Diva!
Hope you enjoy dashing diva!
I do wear Kiss nail and I don't have a problem with them. FYI yes filing your nails before glue does work but it had for cause fungus in my nails. So just be careful and mindful.
Ah yes, I don’t personally file just because I like changing up my manicure. But thanks for sharing!
How do you take the kiss nails off if you are done with them before they fall off?
I usually use a nail oil to massage around the cuticles too loosen the glue and then after a few minutes will use an orangewood stick to slide underneath and they usually pop right up
If it starts to lift I use a flosser type of tooth pick to take them off
Question, how do they hold up while washing your hair?
I wash my hair 2-3 times a week (use a cleansing conditioner) and rely on dry shampoo for the other days. I can wear ImPress for 2 weeks without any lifting or them coming loose.
For me I don’t notice my nails catching in my hair until after a week of wear. Then I’ll feel them catch a bit when washing my hair, but usually not anything too annoying until nearer the 2 week mark 👍🏼
No mine don’t but I glue mine on. I can get up to ten days (could get longer but I want to change by then!!)
I love these nails, I did purchase Hold It nail glue I could have mine on for for about 2 weeks ! Any kind from cheap to a bit more expensive.
I love your video! Just a tip for you: I notice your thumb is more square close to the cuticle, so if you file the press nail in a more square shape it will be closer to your cuticle and hide your nail better than it is. I have to do the same, but it works! :)
Oh, thank you!! That’s a great tip! I’ll need to try that 🤗
Gladys Ferreira hey thanks ....good to know ....I’ll have to do that too since my nails are wide and square at the cuticle 😊
Excellent tutorial! The end look is so pretty. You have lovely hands and nails.
Thank you so much!
I loved this informative video! I personally really like the Kiss brand, but I'm definitely going to check out Dashing Diva :)
Be prepared to fall in love with Dashing Diva, lol 😘
Great nail class, great nails too if was just in CVS looking at these but I wasn't sure about them a it my first time going to wear press on ... So far the ones I buy are too small for may hails I dont know why I have such big nail bed....... I need some help with this thing
I’m going on a budget I usually use the dip at Walmart’s do I need something cheaper and just as durable
I’m not sure what “the dip” is at Walmart. Is that a product/nail kit they sell?
Katie Marie no it’s at a nail shop the dip is a powder
Ohhhh, okay, I got you. I haven’t had dip done to my nails, so can’t really compare the two. But these press on nails are surprisingly durable
Dashing Diva press on nails are the absolute best. It's all I wear now. They last me almost 2 weeks.
I just follow the directions on the impress nails and they last me until I take them off usually 10 days to 14 days, I've Never had one poop off . The only reason I take them off this soon is because the grow out catches on my hair..
That’s so great!!
Why doesn't any come with same sizes like for my index and ring fingers and pinky take same sizes but they only give you bigger and smaller? Another question do you place nail all way back to cuticles? Or all way back touching cuticle?
I paint clear nail Hardener over these press on nails and that helps them to last a little longer
Ohhh, I’ve never thought of that tip!
😊 thank for the information I was wondering what I was doing rong
I'm going to get some of those the next time I make a 2000 pt purchase at Ulta. Thanks for all of the info
Yay!!! They have both impress and dashing diva at Ulta now!! Hope you like them!
I don’t why, but whenever I go to buy press on nails ( Ultha, CVS, Walgreens. Wallmart) they don’t have them at all, or just one or two designs.
Silly, because on my opinion they are better than other brands. They hold much better and for a longer time.
Thank you love them all❤Mine last 2 weeks+. When its time to remove I just soak them in pure white vinegar. They pop off quick and easy.
That’s awesome!!
Really informative. I like how you compared the different brands. Have you used the Dollar Tree nails?
I have not! But I actually picked up a fun pair and want to see how I like them 🤗
It was helpful . I haven’t use press nails since high school the use to sticky stuff on them. I will be using them now
Hope it works well for you!
Do you know any great brands for ppl with large nail beds ?
Myah Burks that’s my issue with press on nails too.
Have you tried KISS’s Gel Fantasy press on nails? Those are a lot bigger in the nail bed. I also just discovered Clutch Nails that have larger areas for nail beds
Claire’s Boutique stiletto nails are the largest I have come across. You can clip or file them if you find them too long. I do that to the thumbs.
Kristin Ann Solien I’ll try this too. Thx for the help
Katie Marie I will try them as soon as I recover from surgery. I’m so excited. Thank u for your help too
My 12 yr old got me hooked on these nails. I am 41 and never had my nails done or used fake nails. They are so much better now.
They’re a great way to change up your manicure quickly ☺️
Great video, i wanted to go to beautycon, had so much fun last year but miss time to get tickets,
I’ve never been to any type of makeup convention, but they always sound like SUCH a fun experience!
I have chrome and glitter with a neutral tone does it matter how you space the out in pattern I don't want to have too much chrome or glitter I like your designe
You can do whatever pattern you like!
I always do my own nails with these press ons, & in my experience the Impress nails have never lasted more than a cpl days without falling off even if I add additional glue.
Oh really? That Stinns! So What’s your favorite press on nail brand?
My firsts set lasted a week for me. I just put the second set on and half of them fell off since I didn’t prep them
Well you can’t do gardening or construction work with them🤣 for sure......
Love it!! These nails look very festive like Christmas spirit. Your natural nails are very pretty too!!
I am using nail stickers and I'm in love. I could try the press on nails in a special occasion. Thanks!
You’re welcome, glad it was informative!
The longer natural nails help the press-on nails last longer primarily because there is more surface area to which the nail can adhere. I saw someone begin with her thumbs in a video. It's good you mentioned it's better to leave them for last. They won't set properly if you're using them to press the other nails on. She also added cuticle oil and hand cream right after she finished getting the nails on before they had a chance to set at all. This will allow the oil and cream to compromise the adhesive. It's no surprise the nails started popping off after a day and a half. She didn't have the benefit of your experience. Your viewers should fare better! I'm curious to try the Dashing Diva nails. If you work with them, please suggest a variety of shapes and lengths. With press-on nails, I can rarely find anything except short and square. I buy the Kiss nails for variety, but the Impress for those times I'm going out and need my nails done in a hurry. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for commenting! I’m such a fan of press ons I wanted to give all the advice I’ve learned over the months of wearing them that helps them work better 🤗🤗
I don’t work with Dashing Diva currently, but if I ever do start to work with them, I’ll definitely mention a variety of sizes! Thanks!
Hi I agree with you on this one. I prefer using the plain longer press on nails. I find that if u buy the pre painted there's only 12 in a box. Im from SA and I bought plain square press down nails R70 for 200. So I have a nail stand and will start painting 15 at a time. Like 15 red then 15 camo colour so by doing that and 1 pops off you don't need to sit and paint its all done. I prep my naels then I buff my own nael and the inside of the false nail with my efile they sick better to a rough service then I apply glu only to the inside of the false nail so that my own nail still has a bit of roughness from the buffing and then stick
Do you have ur own TH-cam channel
I just bought some! Can’t wait to try them!
Yay!!! Have fun!
Im obsessed with press ons! And all my girlfriends love them too. Most sets last me 10 to 14 days. I've used different brands and had good results 90% of the time. One kiss set just wouldnt stay on and I kept having to re glue them but the other sets have stayed on just fine
Aren’t they just SO much fun?! 🤗🤗🤗
Sweetie you are 💜fantastic don't let anyone dull your sparkle.. I have a question. How can I keep my nails from turning green?!!!! I do everything right... an when they start to come off the edges will be green agggh
Hopefully AwaitingourRainbow’s comment was helpful, since I’ve never had an issue with my nails turning green. Hopefully that tip helps you!
Dashing divas should give you a discount code
Lol, I didn’t think of that! 🙈
So true! I bought my first set of impress nails today. Left thumb is size 2, Right thumb is size 1. Who knew?
Lol right?! Funny little fact I never realized before!
Your fastforward humming sounded like disney birds chirping 😂.
lol, omg, it does!! Like the birds in the animated movie Cinderella 🤣
Ann-Sophie D 😆
Made me think of Snow white lol
It did hahahaha
Very timely! I have been curious about these lately. I just don't want to trash my own nails.
Happy to help!
I need these since all salons are closed now. 😫
It’s coming in very handy now!!
Excellente video 🙏. What if use crazy glue? Do you recommend it as well? Thank you 👌👏👏
Oh wow, I honestly have never thought to try crazy glue because the nail glue works so well to keep the nails on as long as I prefer them (about a week and a half). I would imagine jt might not be ideal, since it’s not made specifically for the nails - but I honestly don’t know
This is so helpful! Question, do you use gloves when you do dishes? Or do the press on nails last ok through a lot of water?
I was wondering the same thing.
She does... It was near the end of the video 😎
Yes, I wear gloves every time I wash dishes or clean the bathroom, etc. but they still last well with some water because I wash my hands a lot and do shower/baths several times a week
@@KatieMarie you "wear videos" and "done water" 😂🤣
Valerie's Journey in Beauty omg, autocorrect hates me!!’ Either that, or it never gets me 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the tips. Been struggling two weeks to get them to stay on. Definitely will try the dashing diva brand
I hope the tips help you 💚💚
I love Dashing Diva. I perfer the gloss strips though. Those last on my for 2 weeks. I have tried the press ons, and they wont stay on longer than a few hours. I was so bummed, bc they have so many adorable styles.
ashlie beardslee where do you find the gloss strips to purchase?
@@pennysplayfulportraits they have a great selection on their website, however, I have bought them instore at Sally Beauty Supply or Walmart, but their selection is limited.
I tried the gloss strips and while I enjoyed them, they didn’t last as long as press ons for me 🤷🏻♀️ but I love that they have both kinds and both are such good quality!
The DD gel nail strips are AWESOME!!!! You must try them. You won't pick at them, because they won't lift. I had mine for three weeks before I finally took them off. And that was super easy too! 🤗
I’ve only tried them once, but they worked okay. I’m too much of a picker, tho, to prefer them. The moment they get a flap to the edge, I start picking until they’re all off 🙈
I love press on nails my nail beds is so wide I can never find any that'll fit my thumbs
Lorraine Messmer mine are too😩
Have you tried the Kiss brand of press ons? I don’t enjoy them as much because the nail beds are a lot bigger on them. So maybe they would work for you!
Me too but wonder why they don’t make a wider nail...there are many of us with that problem out there....Do love the Impress nails
Greathaul thank you for sharing .lam to try thank
Hope it turns out well for you!
I use primark nails and they do the job and they are £1 ☺️
Good to know!
semi-chemi lasted me a week and were 79p
Hi can you explain me how you pick the alternate size. I always get the size I need and throw away the rest. I get scared that if I use wrong size I can get humidity under and get fungus. Am prompt to that. Also I have to put glue too because if not the pop out to quick no matter what I do. Am afraid I use my hand to much in Kitchen. 😕
I usually just see what nails fit my other nails or, if they’re a touch too big, I’ll cut the sides of the nail so it fits better ☺️
Ive been obsessed with press on nails for the past year and a half😍😍 But i go for the hand made ones from brands like Perfectly_Nailed, The Nailest ect. They make incredible nails and it looks like ive gotten acrylics done at the salon. But ive actually gotten 2-4 sets of nails for the price of one salon set where i live😍💅✨
I’ve never tried handmade ones, but I’ve been looking at some. Thanks for the recommendations!
I love dashing diva!
