steps: 1) wash your hands 2) put rubbing alcohol on your nails 3) push back and cut cuticles 4) trim them 5) buff and shape (five or six passes) 6) glue them on ss or save this so you don’t have to watch the video all over again :) - ty to the creator for these amazing trips! mine always seems to fall off after a few days, and i don’t even make them that long 😭
I do have another VALUABLE tip for you ladies! Make sure that after applying the nails, you do NOT get your hands under water or wash your hands for a solid 3 hours. If you wash your hands right away, the glue won't dry properly and it will come off easy. Make sure you ate, bathed and did all chores water related before doing your nails. Trust me that might sound crazy, but it's the truth!
By the way, another tip is to buff the underside of each press on nail the same way you buff your natural nails. The glue adheres to the fake nail much better!
@@pinkstress This is gonna sound mad cheap but I use a small piece of sandpaper glued to a cotton bud💀 I haven't found a proper tool or a nail file small enough
Another tip that has always helped me is to start with the pinkie nails first and do the right pinkie, then the left pinkie, then the right ring finger, then the left ring finger, etc. rather than doing all on one hand first. It gives you much better control.
I've been wearing press ons for the past 2 years. Most of the nail techs I've dealt with are rude. Im not paying anyone to make me feel like my very presence is annoying. Lots of those nail shops are dirty and unsanitary too. Ppl think im ballin because my nails stay done. They get shook when I tell them I got them at Walgreens lol
I'm growing out my arylic gel nails rn and getting them trimmed down every 2 weeks til they grow our because there too rough taking off my nails I regret getting them for sure
I followed every step in this video and even bought the same nails she has and im going on day 4 and my nails are still on. I am IMPRESSED. I will be saving $80 every 2 weeks❤
Best to do this at bedtime because keeping your hands out of water after application is a BIG key to longevity. Its really does last me 3 weeks when applied like this
I’ll tell you ladies this, as long as I’ve been going to the nail salon I’ve had the opportunity to look at each nail technician technique purchase all of their equipment, purchase the ultraviolet light, and do my own gel Full set and or filling in. I used my nail salon appointments to learn something so I wouldn’t be dependent on a nail technician. Now people come to me to do their nails.
I did the same thing! Honestly, doing my own nails has saved me so much money. $50 at the nail salon every few weeks was getting too costly for something that I can do myself...
My 19 year old wears nothing but press ons. She likes the bling cat claws. She works at a clothing store and gets a lot of compliments on how beautiful they are.

I have a different set every 8-12 days and I will never spend the same amount I would have in a nail salon and my nails always look great. People are shook when I let them in on the secret that they came from a store not a salon lol. Love glue on's. It's not cheap, it's smart. 💕
Been doing press on for over 2 years so worth it. I've also used those exact nails last year for my Christmas party. People keep asking where I got them done. My answer Me cassa salon.💅🏡
Yes I’ve done this before and legit lasted me the same vs salon nails lmao and honestly I prefer press one because you save so much money and the hassle of going to a salon. 8$ vs min 60$, I choose 8$ lmao 🤩🤩🤩and it’s not being cheap it’s called being smart with you’re dollar💆🏻♀️
@@beauty3328 But if you were smart with you're money you would know that 70-120$ is alot of money. Specially for nails that are plastic and get thrown away. Vs investing into stocks or real estate or retirement. Lol Just saying
Pro tip if you start with your pinkies and move up towards the thumbs on both hands at once alternating, it makes it so much easier because you can still use your index finger and thumb until the very end
Lmao my boyfriend thought I spent the whole $100.00 for my nails to get done .... I had the EXACT SAME ones you have ...... let’s just say LUNCH IS ON ME LADIES 😂🤷🏾♀️
If there is nail art on your press-on nail or just a regular top coat polish, (NOT rhinestones) apply a nice layer of clear top coat nail polish to protect it, since it rubs off easily. This will keep them looking SHARP and fresh and also thickens the nail slightly to protect those plastic things from splitting, tearing, or cracking as easily!
Hint... do your cuticles first, then clean with alcohol otherwise your still touching your nails with your fingers and contaminating them with germs and oils.
Quick pro tip....once you buff your natural nail beds (going in one direction) hit those with the alcohol again to get the nail dust off bc you don't want that under your tips!
Laur S my nails are so weak and thin, to the point they hurt if that’s makes sense. If you find anything that’s helps, please let me know. P.S I’ve been breaking biotin pills and rubbing it on them, hopefully that works a bit.
I always wear press ons. Some chicks think it’s so cheap but ion care cause I’m not paying $40 and above for nails that will pop off just like a fake nail. But they are just as cute.
I’m just glad to see that I’m not the only person who does these. I play piano and type so I can’t have my nails super long, but I love the option of press ons. I can wear them for special occasions and not worry about spending $60+ for them.
Girl, I just wanted to thank you for posting this video! I’m a nurse so I can’t really have acrylics. I did press on nails this way for my wedding, no one knew and not one popped off! So thank you!!
I LOVE press-on nails! I will never sit down in a salon for hours again. Honestly. What I really love about them is that they always look freshly done. No grow out/new grow.
I've been doing the french for YEARS. They look so pretty. .perfect!.only downside... they split down middle or at the white french line. K wish just a tad sttonger
Ugh I love how you went straight to the point giving us solid tips, pointers, and reason behind them. So good, I appreciate you for putting this video out there ❤
@@ashleypowell7956 how you doing today? What field do you work in or are you a small business owner too? I appreciate the friendliness in this thread! 🥰
I watched this video a few weeks ago when I was thinking about getting press-ons to wear for the family Christmas party. I just wanted to come back and say it's almost a week later and after following your technique, these nails are SOLID AS A ROCK. I workout, I'm a domestic girlie (cooking and cleaning) and there is no indication of these coming off anytime soon. I'll come back around week 3 for an update. :)
Those are my favorite kiss nails they have nice jewels on them!! Kiss has the best designs and quality in my opinion....only thing was it was a lil awkward when I was waving them around one day and my waitress had the same set 😂😭😭
I used to get acrylic nails done at the nail salon. But after a while, I realized having someone else do my nails was just not for me because sometimes I would have to wait a long while to get my nails done or I had to book an appointment if there was availability to get my nails done with the tech. Also, one huge thing I strongly dislike about most nail techs nowadays is that when you want to remove your old acrylics and get a fresh new set, they would just rip off the acrylic from your nail bed instead of putting your nails in acetone first so the acrylic could melt. After discovering how press ons are, I’m going to start doing it as an easier and healthier option for my natural nails while still being able to have the long nails-bling effect.
Yesss girl...I started doing my own acrylics at home...I bought all the tools from aliexpress and started off with a Kiss Kit. With practice I have gotten so much better and started buying my supplies in bulk. They just want our money, they don’t care bout us...plus I was spending way too much every two weeks, like you said kmt...
Marley boss I watched BEGINNER FRIENDLY tutorials of acrylic nails. Then I went out and bought the Kiss Acrylic nails kit, everything you need is in it. Once I got better I bought better products. You need an E File drill ( Ali express has one for $9)
Marley boss Yeah, np...The Kiss acrylic kit is sold at Walmart ...the e file drill is so separately, you don’t have to get the drill but I say get it and start practicing with it. I watched tons of tutorial channels like Long Hair pretty nails and a few others.
YESSSSSS IM SURPRISED IT TOOK THIS LONG FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE A TUTORIAL. I started wearing these two years ago and i live by them I don’t spend a penny anymore I do my own nails and toes now. I do every step but I do one more additional step. Before the cuticle oil I go back to each nail and add glue directly underneath my nails to seal both ends. I promise yal my nails stay on for 3 weeks I have to take them off myself . The best thing since slice bread ladies. Thanks for the tutorial. Good job I 👍🏼 and subscribe to your channel as well
You are a life saver!!! I NEVER apply nail’s correctly and couldn’t ever figure out what I was doing wrong. You broke it down step by step and I am forever grateful. I’ve had mine on three days (a record!) and that’s with a four year olds, dish washing, hair washing and consistent typing. These nails are not moving! Thank you!!!
Very Pretty, I went to Sally's one day to look for press on nails, I wanted the French manicure look, I couldn't find anything good. Thanks for the Video 👍🪴🦋🕊️
I applied these prior to watching and you are right. They do not come off and look great. One thing done differently is I applied the glue to the nail as well as the press on (I believe the instructions said to do this) and 4 weeks later, the nails still looks good outside of the small nail growth that’s occurred. Will definitely wear for another week or so. Nice video!
I appreciate this video. People can be so judgemental and ignorant about press-on nails like, 'Oh you've got press-on nails because you can't afford to go to the salon.' like what? I'm saving money first of all. Second, some nail techs can damage your nails and make your nails brittle to point where your real nails always chipping and breaking. Please. Thank you for this video, sis. ❤️🙏
But does your hair catch in the back of them?? This is basically the only reason I can never make press-ons work for me - I can't stand the way my hair catches on the cuticle side. 😖
@@briteeyesnsmile I know what you mean! I cannot stand that either. No your hair does not get caught in the back until your nail starts to grow out from the cuticle pretty significantly! That is also one of the main reasons why I I'm not a fan of press-ons or glue on nails. But if you prep the cuticle and press down very firmly your hair definitely will not get caught! :-)
Been wearing them for 10 years an toes. Work so much better..I still get the money from dudes an tell them going to get my nails done, I go straight to the hair store 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been using press on for 4 years love love how inexpensive getting my nails done now is and in just 10 mins Yes I do exactly what you do and they do last 3 weeks. Your hands look beautiful love the nails too and your energy ❤
The best thing about this method is you can take them off easily I literally only wear press ons , Finna do mine now because I’m seeing my man tomorrow 😂
i push my cuticles back rather than cutting them. i usually use a nail drill, to gently file it down. i go in with a normal nail filer right after to get places i couldn’t get. And then I use a nail dehydrator to get rid of the oils and then glue the nails on. it lasts me 3-4 weeks
Omg thank you. I’m a youth counselor and the kids that live there love having pamper day. I can never figure out how to make the nails stay on long enough for them. This is perfect! Thank you!
I love you for this ❤ I developed my own obsession w press ons in the fall after frequenting the nail salon for YEARS (it has its place like all spa-like activities but press ons are just so much fun!)
Wow, you posted this video right when I was thinking about going back to press on nails. I want to save money up so I can do other things and the timing is perfect. If added up what $137 each month for a year it would cost $1,644 to get your nails done each year. These press ons are really pretty and they save alot of money. Great video!!
I just installed my first set after years and I have a hack for holding the nails down for 15 seconds: they make nail clips on Amazon that will hold it for you and they sell them in packs of 10. I think honestly clothes pins will work just as good. I did this the other day with a chip bag clip and just had it hold my nails down while I worked on the other one and then just moved it. I got more than 15 seconds and they feel like they are holding on strong. Also, with jewelry on the nails you can put a clear gel coat over it and cure it so the gems don’t fall off.
Romwe and SHEIN has so many cute press ons. Long, short and cheap. I just recently got a 500 pack for less than $5. I’ve literally ordered over 1,000 press ons for cheap !
@@Hellakiddie make sure you buff so the nail polish will have something to stick to. Wipe off the excess dust, move your cuticles back and you should be good. DO NOT use the drug store glue that comes with it. It’s just gooey liquid basically.
Side note: Please only use the nail glue to attach the nails! Some people have been recommending people put gel under press ons but UV can't penetrate an opaque (not see-through) nail and the gel will remain wet and can cause irritation and even eventually allergy to gel.
Sorry I’m late on this video ! I’ve been using these for years and my hack is that I don’t put them on until after I’ve eaten dinner-I eat early about 5 o’clock( I’m 50 years old LOL )- then they’re on all night without touching water because I’ve already taken a shower and I don’t get my hands wet till the next morning after I’ve had coffee, walk the dog etc. It’s a good 12 to 14 hours. I also use an E file to clean up the cuticles and buff up the nails before I glue them on.I also use gorilla glue. Now I don’t recommend that ,but I’ve mastered it and I soak my nails off etc. It’s not nail glue ,but boy your nails will not come off!
Chile, I started wearing press ons again lol. Haven’t worn these since elementary but acrylic and gel nails have seriously damaged and thinned my natural nails. Loving my press ons right about now 💅🏽
This was so informative and I love how she just goes straight into it! This video was 8 minutes but it felt like 30 seconds and all the info sticks haha
I never mess with my cuticles. It’s easy to get an infection from it especially at salons because a lot of salons don’t clean tools in between clients.
This really is the best way to do them! I did my nails following your tips and they’ve lasted a week so far without a single one popping off. Thank you for posting this! 💛
Another tip for my fellow clumsy ladies! I use the clear press one from amazon btw. Get a clear bottle of poly gel/builder gel a cheap lamp and a clear gel top coat. Do all these steps but instead of glue use the poly gel and add the top coat. This gives the nail extra strength and does not pop off. This also works with acrylic as well if you nails have designs already. Use the acrylic as glue.
If lockdown has been good for anything, it’s been good for savings COINNSSS! there’s so much we can do ourselves. Do it yourself and do it as a business too ladies xx
I LOVE how you explain each step - you're very down to earth & do an excellent job of using your personal experience with the products to make recommendations.
Looks gorgeous 😍 another tip is in addition to applying the glue to your natural nail, also apply the glue to the artificial nail. This will definitely secure it. I use the Kiss brush-on nail glue and it is awesome. I love using these types of artificial nails 😊
I love press on nails I been wearing them before this coronavirus. And yes all these steps are very important. I never had a nail pop off when I do all these steps. And you're so right my press ons last for three weeks!
@@carolinesunshine1690 yep those kind, OOOH! yah they are shaped like an alligator head, your right. And I just recently bought some, So now I can properly hold down my nails as they dry
Been doing this for years. After a week of two I replace anyone’s that look old with left over nails. Everyone is always complimenting me😆 I get mine at target Walgreens cvs or any other big chain drugstores. Never spent more then 12.99. Cool thing is you can find nails for any occasion, even super short for work or bright colors for birthdays or vacations. I always say this is the best way to save your nails. The salon makes your nails so weak.
I have been wearing them for 8 years now. I do mine every 2 weeks. Nobody has a clue. I buy mine in the same stores like you, but I also order from the stores online because they have alot of my old favorites since the stores change styles so often. Check out kmart online too. And people are always selling good bundles on poshmark.
This really works!!! I'm surprised! My experience with press on nails was never great so I always avoided them. Now I'm wondering how to get them off so i can do a new set 🤣
Yessss press ons are the way to gooo!! I’m all about saving my coins 🤑 Amazon also the coffin CLEAR nails for the ladies that love longer nails like meee💁🏽♀️ nails be poppingggg!!
I haven't used presson nails since I was a kid. Imma have to check these out. These are cute!! You always coming through with the beauty on a budget. 😁
Yass sis😍 got tired of spending so much on nail maintenance at the salon. If you got it like that great but when you decide to treat yourself to a new car(car payments) you will rethink real quick lol
That Kiss 5 second glue is awesome. Salons got too rich for my pocketbook. I was getting acrylics without polish. My nails have a vertical split that never grows out completely. Now I discovered nail tips work for me, so I do it myself. So my natural nail is bare except for the tips. I'm working with it, learning. When removing a glued on nail, I coat the skin of my fingers with castor oil before soaking in acetone. Any heavy oil will do.
OMG, I followed your instructions...guess what? My nails lasted almost a month! I'm bout to do my second set! Thanks for sharing.
Ya that works good
Now that's what I am talking bout
It worked for me too!! 3 weeks now but I'm excited for a new set🤣🤣🔥🔥.

Yes, I did it last night & didn't wash them
Nadia L This is very very true
By the way, another tip is to buff the underside of each press on nail the same way you buff your natural nails. The glue adheres to the fake nail much better!
What do you use to buff underneath?

So it’s like when you get a spray tan then...
What if you work somewhere that you constantly have to wash hands and deal with washing dishes and stuff. Will it come off quicker ?

Yes girl! I heard that! 🤫😂😂
😊🌺
lol facts
Lmaooooo
Here’s a tip! Do your thumbs last! It makes it easier to put on the other nails
Good advice even for doing your own acrylic or polygel ! Thanks girl !
Yes! I've been doing that!! I do all my right hand 1st except the thumb, then my whole left hand... and then my right thumb. :)
If there is nail art on your press-on nail or just a regular top coat polish, (NOT rhinestones) apply a nice layer of clear top coat nail polish to protect it, since it rubs off easily. This will keep them looking SHARP and fresh and also thickens the nail slightly to protect those plastic things from splitting, tearing, or cracking as easily!
Thank youuuu so DONT so it when it has rhinestones? How come
@@brilep4851 because the rhinestone will become dull and lose its sparkle
Hint... do your cuticles first, then clean with alcohol otherwise your still touching your nails with your fingers and contaminating them with germs and oils.
!!!
Exactly!!! When they are softened and easy to trim 🙏🏽
But wouldn’t it burn tjoooo
Yea, but your cuticles won’t be moist. Unless you sanitize you’re hands, then apply the cuticle oil.

I love how she said she was going to link it down below “so we can all bling out together” Glad I found this channel 👍
ikr :)
Quick pro tip....once you buff your natural nail beds (going in one direction) hit those with the alcohol again to get the nail dust off bc you don't want that under your tips!

I’ve been wearing press on nails for the past three years and this has not only saved me money but saved my nail beds too. I use this same method
nakea simone what glue do you use? And does it damage your nails? My nails are so thin bendy and weak. I’m more worried about the glue damaging them.
Laur S my nails are so weak and thin, to the point they hurt if that’s makes sense. If you find anything that’s helps, please let me know. P.S I’ve been breaking biotin pills and rubbing it on them, hopefully that works a bit.
So true being a single mom i can save money n still be stylish n i can take them off wen i want

Girl you are a lifesaver!! My set lasted almost a month. You're the best.
Which glue did you use?
What glue did you use?
I always wear press ons. Some chicks think it’s so cheap but ion care cause I’m not paying $40 and above for nails that will pop off just like a fake nail. But they are just as cute.
Facts that’s why I do my own acrylic , dip powder and gel nails now
It’s probably healthier for your nail. No drilling or overfiling the nail.
I mean u can just get white and paint over them too...🤷🏻♀️
@@pocketofus7428 if I did that it would look cakey ass hell lol
@@brittanyanne936 umm one layer of white nail polish? That’s some thick nail polish u are using them.
Honestly I was on my way to the nails salon but I pulled up to the dollar store 🤷🏽♀️🥰
khadija G have you put them on yet?
Me too.. 😂😂‼️
Pyt Starr i did but it feels it may come off i need a nice glue
Yessss sis!save those coins
🤥
I’m just glad to see that I’m not the only person who does these. I play piano and type so I can’t have my nails super long, but I love the option of press ons. I can wear them for special occasions and not worry about spending $60+ for them.
I too keep my press on short.
But this video tempts me to get fancy for special occasions!
The fact that u get straight to the point 🙌🏾🗣 MESSAGE TO THE LONG WINDED YOU TUBERS IN THE BACK!
Yesss!
Girl, I just wanted to thank you for posting this video! I’m a nurse so I can’t really have acrylics. I did press on nails this way for my wedding, no one knew and not one popped off! So thank you!!
3.5 weeks & I decided to remove them to work on my garden... this video is FACTS! 🍯!
Wow! 😳🙌🏾
Soooo I just worked a 12 hour shift and this video got me sitting outside CVS waiting for it to open. Bout ta get them press onnnnns!
Girl! I'm about to do a 12 HR shift after these nails set lol!
I LOVE press-on nails! I will never sit down in a salon for hours again. Honestly. What I really love about them is that they always look freshly done. No grow out/new grow.
Ig lizanndria.nails for custom designs 🙌🏾
I've been doing the french for YEARS. They look so pretty. .perfect!.only downside... they split down middle or at the white french line. K wish just a tad sttonger
@@jennicklos9250 fuxk! My right thumb LITERALLY cracked down the middle today. Went and bought another set for now kiss is the best!
How to swap them out?
Ugh I love how you went straight to the point giving us solid tips, pointers, and reason behind them. So good, I appreciate you for putting this video out there ❤
You can clip and file these down as well! I wore them long to a wedding and then clipped and filed them shorter for work!
That is such a simple but great freaking idea!
Wow I was wondering about that! Thank you
I love any advice that helps me save my coin, especially as a small business owner! So practical, thank you! 🥰💅🏾

@@ashleypowell7956 you're on your grind sis, and getting your education! Congrats on leveling up. Sending positive vibes your way🥰🤗
I watched this video a few weeks ago when I was thinking about getting press-ons to wear for the family Christmas party. I just wanted to come back and say it's almost a week later and after following your technique, these nails are SOLID AS A ROCK. I workout, I'm a domestic girlie (cooking and cleaning) and there is no indication of these coming off anytime soon. I'll come back around week 3 for an update. :)
@@SolutionsWithinwell I can’t say three weeks just yet but it’s been a week and they are still holding on just like the first day.
Update: came back to say that just a day over the 3 week mark and the first nail just popped off. All the others still holding strong.
Thank you for this @@electr0rganic
I love that you get straight to the process and not a long intro like other youtube videos.
Those are my favorite kiss nails they have nice jewels on them!! Kiss has the best designs and quality in my opinion....only thing was it was a lil awkward when I was waving them around one day and my waitress had the same set 😂😭😭
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😭😭😭 they need to make more designs fr
😂😂 I would've been like we go to the same tech, huh!!😂😂
Like I.mis match them.and you can't tell the difference
I love how you empower other women, you're awesome!
Paige you've saved me. Nails literally cost $50 here in my college town 😢😢
I used to get acrylic nails done at the nail salon. But after a while, I realized having someone else do my nails was just not for me because sometimes I would have to wait a long while to get my nails done or I had to book an appointment if there was availability to get my nails done with the tech. Also, one huge thing I strongly dislike about most nail techs nowadays is that when you want to remove your old acrylics and get a fresh new set, they would just rip off the acrylic from your nail bed instead of putting your nails in acetone first so the acrylic could melt. After discovering how press ons are, I’m going to start doing it as an easier and healthier option for my natural nails while still being able to have the long nails-bling effect.
"So we all can be blinged out together" Miss girl I love your personality 😭💜
I read this comment as she said it 😂
Yesss girl...I started doing my own acrylics at home...I bought all the tools from aliexpress and started off with a Kiss Kit. With practice I have gotten so much better and started buying my supplies in bulk. They just want our money, they don’t care bout us...plus I was spending way too much every two weeks, like you said kmt...
Softfire how do you do that do you mind letting me in please
Marley boss I watched BEGINNER FRIENDLY tutorials of acrylic nails. Then I went out and bought the Kiss Acrylic nails kit, everything you need is in it. Once I got better I bought better products. You need an E File drill ( Ali express has one for $9)
Softfire so I need a kit and the drill comes separately?
Softfire and thanks sis I’m tryna go with the acrylic
Marley boss Yeah, np...The Kiss acrylic kit is sold at Walmart ...the e file drill is so separately, you don’t have to get the drill but I say get it and start practicing with it. I watched tons of tutorial channels like Long Hair pretty nails and a few others.
YESSSSSS IM SURPRISED IT TOOK THIS LONG FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE A TUTORIAL. I started wearing these two years ago and i live by them I don’t spend a penny anymore I do my own nails and toes now. I do every step but I do one more additional step. Before the cuticle oil I go back to each nail and add glue directly underneath my nails to seal both ends. I promise yal my nails stay on for 3 weeks I have to take them off myself . The best thing since slice bread ladies. Thanks for the tutorial. Good job I 👍🏼 and subscribe to your channel as well
How do you take them off?
What type of glue do u use? What's the name of it?
Yeah, how do they actually come off?? 😂
@@FoodscapadesWithTafari the kiss 3 second dry glue
You are a life saver!!!
I NEVER apply nail’s correctly and couldn’t ever figure out what I was doing wrong. You broke it down step by step and I am forever grateful. I’ve had mine on three days (a record!) and that’s with a four year olds, dish washing, hair washing and consistent typing. These nails are not moving! Thank you!!!
Very Pretty, I went to Sally's one day to look for press on nails, I wanted the French manicure look, I couldn't find anything good. Thanks for the Video 👍🪴🦋🕊️
I applied these prior to watching and you are right. They do not come off and look great. One thing done differently is I applied the glue to the nail as well as the press on (I believe the instructions said to do this) and 4 weeks later, the nails still looks good outside of the small nail growth that’s occurred. Will definitely wear for another week or so. Nice video!
“Can you guess? No?? Alright ima tell you...” girl you so cute 😭😭💖
She is so cute😍😍
I laughed at that. Love your personality 🥰😍
@@NicheAtNight
Aaaa
Beautiful thank you for sharing ❤️
I appreciate this video. People can be so judgemental and ignorant about press-on nails like, 'Oh you've got press-on nails because you can't afford to go to the salon.' like what? I'm saving money first of all. Second, some nail techs can damage your nails and make your nails brittle to point where your real nails always chipping and breaking. Please. Thank you for this video, sis. ❤️🙏
Yesss love press on acrylic hurts,so much😔 even JLO wears press ons & is coming out with her own press on nail line i cant wait💅
Woah really? I'm definitely going to check out her brand. I love my press ons.
@yanni j please reconsider supporting j ho. She is an "all lives matter" kinda girl. You are clearly of African descent.
@@Denise-ob8dk please reconsider supporting j ho. She is an "all lives matter" kinda girl.
FACTS ! 💅🏽 I’m four days shy of having my nails on for a full month :-) only one came off … Thank you so much
OOOOh giiirl you are LEGIT. The removal of oils and the buffering of the nails is an actual technique used by nail techs for gel sets!
“It’s been workin for me and I want it to be workin for you.” 🥺 “So we all can be blinged out together 💕✨” YOURE SO PRECIOUS THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO💜
Right , sis earned a new subbie😊 !
I bought these exact press on nails by the way at Walgreens for $7. And they had a buy two get one free sale. So I got six pairs of them.!
Going
But does your hair catch in the back of them?? This is basically the only reason I can never make press-ons work for me - I can't stand the way my hair catches on the cuticle side. 😖
@@briteeyesnsmile I know what you mean! I cannot stand that either. No your hair does not get caught in the back until your nail starts to grow out from the cuticle pretty significantly! That is also one of the main reasons why I I'm not a fan of press-ons or glue on nails. But if you prep the cuticle and press down very firmly your hair definitely will not get caught! :-)
@@JessicaC. Great! Thanks for the insight!
Awesome deal!! Not to mention you get rewards points at Walgreen's! Those points add up fast!! I love Walgreen's!!!
Been wearing them for 10 years an toes. Work so much better..I still get the money from dudes an tell them going to get my nails done, I go straight to the hair store 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao why do I love this so much???? 🤣
You just took me out😂😂 WISE
Hahahah deeeead
💀🤣💀🤣!!!
Lmfao 🤣 love your comment ❤️
I’ve been using press on for 4 years love love how inexpensive getting my nails done now is and in just 10 mins Yes I do exactly what you do and they do last 3 weeks. Your hands look beautiful love the nails too and your energy ❤
How do you get them off?
The best thing about this method is you can take them off easily I literally only wear press ons , Finna do mine now because I’m seeing my man tomorrow 😂
I know that's right 😊🤣❤️
Lololololol 😆
Aye 😝🙌🏾
Right 😂
😂😂😂 You not wrong!
i push my cuticles back rather than cutting them. i usually use a nail drill, to gently file it down. i go in with a normal nail filer right after to get places i couldn’t get. And then I use a nail dehydrator to get rid of the oils and then glue the nails on. it lasts me 3-4 weeks
Omg thank you. I’m a youth counselor and the kids that live there love having pamper day. I can never figure out how to make the nails stay on long enough for them. This is perfect! Thank you!
I love you for this ❤ I developed my own obsession w press ons in the fall after frequenting the nail salon for YEARS (it has its place like all spa-like activities but press ons are just so much fun!)
Wow, you posted this video right when I was thinking about going back to press on nails. I want to save money up so I can do other things and the timing is perfect. If added up what $137 each month for a year it would cost $1,644 to get your nails done each year. These press ons are really pretty and they save alot of money. Great video!!
AndUDon'tStopYo that’s not including fill ins or manicures just to take care of your cuticles 😩😩😩
I just installed my first set after years and I have a hack for holding the nails down for 15 seconds: they make nail clips on Amazon that will hold it for you and they sell them in packs of 10. I think honestly clothes pins will work just as good. I did this the other day with a chip bag clip and just had it hold my nails down while I worked on the other one and then just moved it. I got more than 15 seconds and they feel like they are holding on strong. Also, with jewelry on the nails you can put a clear gel coat over it and cure it so the gems don’t fall off.
Romwe and SHEIN has so many cute press ons. Long, short and cheap. I just recently got a 500 pack for less than $5. I’ve literally ordered over 1,000 press ons for cheap !
I get my nails done 2 a year now I have started to look more into press on nail loving it
Mine popped off 😭
Yes I just had a shein nail order come in!!
@@Hellakiddie did you use nail glue? I know the sticky pads they come with aren’t great, but investing in a high quality glue helps! :)
@@Hellakiddie make sure you buff so the nail polish will have something to stick to. Wipe off the excess dust, move your cuticles back and you should be good. DO NOT use the drug store glue that comes with it. It’s just gooey liquid basically.
I would love if you can show us how safely take them off with out damaging your real nail
Also another thing i learned is curing them under a UV light definitely helps, along with a gel top coat to help seal it
Please explain more on this please & thank you
Side note: Please only use the nail glue to attach the nails! Some people have been recommending people put gel under press ons but UV can't penetrate an opaque (not see-through) nail and the gel will remain wet and can cause irritation and even eventually allergy to gel.
I use to use the dry nail spray it works very well just for both hands and toes.
Sorry I’m late on this video !
I’ve been using these for years and my hack is that I don’t put them on until after I’ve eaten dinner-I eat early about 5 o’clock( I’m 50 years old LOL )- then they’re on all night without touching water because I’ve already taken a shower and I don’t get my hands wet till the next morning after I’ve had coffee, walk the dog etc. It’s a good 12 to 14 hours. I also use an E file to clean up the cuticles and buff up the nails before I glue them on.I also use gorilla glue. Now I don’t recommend that ,but I’ve mastered it and I soak my nails off etc. It’s not nail glue ,but boy your nails will not come off!
Chile, I started wearing press ons again lol. Haven’t worn these since elementary but acrylic and gel nails have seriously damaged and thinned my natural nails. Loving my press ons right about now 💅🏽
Are they lasting for u
What glue do you use? Does it damage them? Mine are weak as shit and I want to do this I’m more weary about the glue damaging them though.
This was so informative and I love how she just goes straight into it! This video was 8 minutes but it felt like 30 seconds and all the info sticks haha
Why I just wore those same nails a couple weeks ago for a formal event and everyone thought they were pretty! ❤️
I never mess with my cuticles. It’s easy to get an infection from it especially at salons because a lot of salons don’t clean tools in between clients.
Micah Tellison Exactly!
My reason for not going anymore😭
exactly why I stopped going I almost got an infection
That's why I trim my cuticles at home
I experienced that not too long ago n went into full panic mode thinking it was whitlow 😧😭😥😥😨
Girl! I’m obsessed with doing my own nails. Thanks for the video. I used all your techniques and the same glue! Love it.
Girl! I can’t believe how much you’ve grown, almost at 800K subscribers. I’m happy for you, thanks for the sister talks 😘
I was doing this 20 yrs ago. Then started going 2 salons. But now with them closed.....doing it myself again.
Nail biter here and I've been doing this method for 15 years. Glad you guys caught on.
This really is the best way to do them! I did my nails following your tips and they’ve lasted a week so far without a single one popping off. Thank you for posting this! 💛
Another tip for my fellow clumsy ladies! I use the clear press one from amazon btw. Get a clear bottle of poly gel/builder gel a cheap lamp and a clear gel top coat. Do all these steps but instead of glue use the poly gel and add the top coat. This gives the nail extra strength and does not pop off. This also works with acrylic as well if you nails have designs already. Use the acrylic as glue.
I tried this and the nail popped off in 1 day 😢. Not sure what I did incorrectly.
OMG I did this last night. Came to work today and I got so many compliments. You rocked this honey 😁
If lockdown has been good for anything, it’s been good for savings COINNSSS! there’s so much we can do ourselves. Do it yourself and do it as a business too ladies xx
I LOVE how you explain each step - you're very down to earth & do an excellent job of using your personal experience with the products to make recommendations.
Looks gorgeous 😍 another tip is in addition to applying the glue to your natural nail, also apply the glue to the artificial nail. This will definitely secure it. I use the Kiss brush-on nail glue and it is awesome. I love using these types of artificial nails 😊
I love press on nails I been wearing them before this coronavirus. And yes all these steps are very important. I never had a nail pop off when I do all these steps. And you're so right my press ons last for three weeks!
Your so cute bro, just the way you say “I got you” and other stuff shoes that u love your supporters uggg i just wanna say we luv u
“you’re”
i’m sorry i had to 😔
Also, I do not think that the lady in the video is a "bro"🤦♀️
A Cobra okay and ...

You can also use long hair clips
For styling your hair and use it to hold down your nail while drying, or nail clips / Alligator nails clips.
Do you mean the alligator clips? That's a great idea!
@@carolinesunshine1690 yep those kind, OOOH! yah they are shaped like an alligator head, your right.
And I just recently bought some, So now I can properly hold down my nails as they dry
Been doing this for years. After a week of two I replace anyone’s that look old with left over nails. Everyone is always complimenting me😆 I get mine at target Walgreens cvs or any other big chain drugstores. Never spent more then 12.99. Cool thing is you can find nails for any occasion, even super short for work or bright colors for birthdays or vacations. I always say this is the best way to save your nails. The salon makes your nails so weak.
Kaatsanchez yes this is the exact reason I stopped going to the salon
Same.
Came here to say the same. CVS and Walgreens are the plug esp when they offer a percentage off coupon or have a good sale.
How do you take them off?
I have been wearing them for 8 years now. I do mine every 2 weeks. Nobody has a clue. I buy mine in the same stores like you, but I also order from the stores online because they have alot of my old favorites since the stores change styles so often. Check out kmart online too. And people are always selling good bundles on poshmark.
The narration is so cute and so real! Like having a fabulous girlfriend.
I agree.. I found myself agreeing out loud and answering questions to myself.. my husband was like "... are.... you talking to _me_ or..." lol..
This really works!!! I'm surprised! My experience with press on nails was never great so I always avoided them.
Now I'm wondering how to get them off so i can do a new set 🤣
Yessss press ons are the way to gooo!! I’m all about saving my coins 🤑 Amazon also the coffin CLEAR nails for the ladies that love longer nails like meee💁🏽♀️ nails be poppingggg!!
I haven't used presson nails since I was a kid. Imma have to check these out. These are cute!! You always coming through with the beauty on a budget. 😁
STRAIGHT FACTS SIS! I LOVE press ons! I will NEVER go to another nail shop
This exactly how i do mine and i tell ppl u MUST buff the nail. That texture is whats gonna hold that nail to ur nail. Its a must babies
Yass sis😍 got tired of spending so much on nail maintenance at the salon. If you got it like that great but when you decide to treat yourself to a new car(car payments) you will rethink real quick lol
That Kiss 5 second glue is awesome.
Salons got too rich for my pocketbook. I was getting acrylics without polish. My nails have a vertical split that never grows out completely. Now I discovered nail tips work for me, so I do it myself.
So my natural nail is bare except for the tips. I'm working with it, learning.
When removing a glued on nail, I coat the skin of my fingers with castor oil before soaking in acetone. Any heavy oil will do.
I love Kiss nails! They have some bomb designs!
