I took a break from nails and needed to come back and wear my all time favorite set for comfort ❤️❤️❤️

Normally I wear these in the fall and winter but they’re just my fav.

I got some XS round tips off Amazon to make my own press ons. I have really long nail beds, especially my thumbs which are 14-15mm! The tips are 17mm at the thumb and they show a little but it’s not so bad. I was relieved because I prefer shorter nails and I really wanted some hassle free tips I didn’t have to custom shape.

I made a simple blue set to try them out and I’m so pleased with them. The top layer is a glow in the dark varnish so they glow at night and that just makes me smile. I’m excited to see how they hold up these next two weeks as I’ll be busy with a big move.

I can’t wait to try more fun stuff!

Always have liked acrylic nails but never get them done because the prices are crazy unaffordable these days. anyways what are some brands you recommend for relatively small nails. Also, what ingredients do you use to help them stay on longer? everytime i use press ons they fall off quickly. are press ons meant to be reusable? send me ur tips and tricks (and the more affordable the better :) ) nail pic for reference looool

I just stated using press on nails with adhesive stickers. Mostly Doonails short round, Curvlife extra short almond, and tried Doonails extra short square (which i like to smooth to squoval) and a couple other brands extra short squoval.

I noticed that the extra short square don’t stay on well. It may be a sizing issue because smaller looks more natural on my hand but the curve means they don’t sit as flush as is ideal.

All that to say that I am still learning.

My prep has been thorough but I also don’t want to be buffing rough quite so often as it has a cumulative impact on nail health.

So i just tried prepping with Red Therapy Magic Press Base Shield, no buffing, and they’re on - stable! I also used a hair dryer after application of the nails for maybe 30-60 seconds.

Retail brand: Doonails extra short square (filed by me to be more squoval) in Mon Cheri❣️

Would you wear these?

I mean, I like the set, so I don’t really care, but would this qualify as ‘clean girl’ look?

Update: Thank you for the info on beetles. Just spoke with my hubs and he will inform my bil about the beetles situation. My bil works in the medical field and is probably unaware of it. I will educate them on what I have to do to be safe when I oil paint and suggest they look into the best practices for gels.

So far, I got her silicone paint brushes, fine paint brushes, daily charmes glitter, glitter catcher, gel-x extensions, daily charmes foil. Stickers, glow-in the dark pigment. A different brand top coat forgot the spelling and chrome powder, etc. We will be suggesting she use nitrile gloves, and be in a well ventilated area and to wear a mask when she files. I am still researching better gel nail polish.

My niece has started to create her own press-on nails with a beetles set she received. My experience with nails are purchasing pre-made press ons and my glitter and metallic non-gel nail polish addiction 😅 ( I change my mind too often.)

Though we both love nail art, I have no clue what would help her advance her artistry.

I would love your ideas. Besides a regular gift. I will be making a candy type lei, but instead of candy, I would like to use other nail tools, items, etc.

I have included two photos of what she already has.

Mahalo/Thank you in advanced!

First time with cursive, what do you think? What would you change?

I love this series so much I had to make myself a set of press on nails for it!

Got to do some yard work.
