I got 2 of the same exact nail stands (gold) for only $7.00 on ebay and I just ordered another 2 sets. Thanks for clarifying that you can place the magnetic base in a uv lamp. I was afraid to do this. Good job.
Hi Monica, I loved watching your video. i'm just starting out & this might be a silly question... but how do you stick these on to your natural nails and also, do you place your hand back under the UV lamp after you have stuck them on? Thanks heaps from Annie in Australia ❤❤
Hi I need some advice when I pulled the finish nail off the stand blue putty was hard to get out sticky pieces of the putty were inside the nail and residue on top of the nails how do you remove the nail from the nail stand and remove the putty
I try not to put to much putty just enough for the nails to stick. Then I will take a cuticle pusher ( a toothpick works just as well ) to take off the putty, sometimes it comes off with no effort. For the little pieces I just take the putty I was able to remove and use it to pick off the smaller pieces of putty that are harder to remove. Hope that helps !!
Thank you I also found what my error was I buffed the inside of the nail I confused that step with another video I watched but I was suppose to buff the inside when I was ready to apply the nail! I did a new set no buffing on the inside of nail just the top as you suggested they came out beautiful to remove the putty I just put a little alcohol on the rubber end of a cuticle pusher and it slid off
Curing is for gel polish. Gel polish is different from regular nail polish. Regular nail polish can air dry and Gel polish can’t, it needs a UV/LED Lamp.
What nail glue do you recommend using? Since this whole quarantine happened I’ve been doing my own press on nails and I can’t find a good glue that lasts. I would appreciate it if you gave me a recommendation!!✨✨❤️
Hey! I’m interested in learning to do these. Do you use a new nail buffer for every set? Or the same since you’re not actually using it on clients hands?
Monica Michelle I did that and it left the nails sticky I wiped them down with alcohol after I’m gonna keep trying to see if over time it comes out better. Thanks!!
Okay I don’t even know if you’ll answer, but how do you size the nails just to sell? I’m starting to do press ons but idk how to know what sizes to use without actually sizing the client. Sorry if that made no sense
Hey !! So usually I would tell the client to measure their nails before ordering and I would also tell them to refer to my sizing chart (you can find a lot online) . Then once they get their size you’ll be go to go ! Good luck with your business I’m sure it’ll do great ☺️

@@pazalvarez9863 its totally optional, basically what you prefer. I skip the base coat step with press ons because they already have a smooth base but never skip base coat when it comes to my natural nails (:
For anyone who is just looking on this video how to use the nail stand for press on nails jump to 6:37 Anyone who wants to be ghetto and has waiting this long like I have to get a nail stand, you can get a NEW CLEAN pet brush and q tips and paint your nails that way and it stays until dry. ◡̈
it wont curre at all even after multiple 60 seconds in the lamp when i put the whole stand in. no issue when i do them on mysslf. no clue what im doing wrong
Yeah it is a bit bumpy ): I think the only way for it not to be bumpy is if you were using the butterflies with an acrylic set , like incapsulating them
I have a nail chart up on my Etsy that helps customers measure their nails prior to ordering . Once they know their size they select it and I go from there :)
If it’s sticky after you cure your nails with a top coat spray the nail with some alcohol and wipe it with a lint free wipe or a piece of paper towel. That should help ☺️
I actually done this before and doesn’t it bother you how thin the nails are or how the butterflies stick out a little from the top coat or you end up with a slightly bumpy top layer? Like I can definitely see yours and its just like that when you’re showing the “finished” product. Don’t you get complaints from your clients
@@MonicaMichellee you can use cling wrap to wrap the butterflies after laying them to help them lay flat Or Bend the butterflies a little bit and lay them flat Or Use nail foil glue, cure, wait 60 sec, press the butterflies on and then top with top coat it’ll make it smoother Or encapsulate it in builder gel, file, buff and use top coat. These will help have them looking “smooth” and consistent.
butiful i love them can i get some please can you get me some please i dont know what shop there from please get me some i want some with a sand please i want some and some bags 😇

Noted :) & thanks !
Enjoyed this! You are a good teacher. More videos please
So sweet thank you !!!
Hi I love the video!!! Question though, what is the exact name of the blue tack ??
That's what I was wondering as well. I've been using nail glue and ruining everything 😭
Thank you for the amazing tutorial. Question. When you you cute the polish are you able to put the magnetic piece in the machine
Thank you ! Yes I am able to put the magnetic stand in the UV light when I cure the polish :)
Hi Monica, I loved watching your video. i'm just starting out & this might be a silly question... but how do you stick these on to your natural nails and also, do you place your hand back under the UV lamp after you have stuck them on? Thanks heaps from Annie in Australia ❤❤

What does curing do? Is it different from air drying? I want to recreate these and want to know if I need one of these
Curing is for gel polish. Gel polish is different from regular nail polish. Regular nail polish can air dry and Gel polish can’t, it needs a UV/LED Lamp.
@@cassy4585 omg thank you so much! Can’t wait to do these nails so excited
So sorry for getting back to you late 🥺 but yes exactly what was said ♥️
@@MonicaMichellee it’s ok thanks
@@kennaescalanti6813 also if you don’t have a UV/LED lamp, I heard natural sunlight works too but a lamp is preferred.
sorry to start this out with a question but how do you keep from getting fingerprints on the clear nails/nail tips? your nails are very pretty btw!!
Thank you ! I just hold on to the bottom of the nail stand , and wearing gloves helps as well 😊
Love love
Thank you !!!
Not even lying those nails from Pinterest are mine WTF I had no idea they were up there 😭😭😭 I’m scared
Really ! Well they’re super cute , thank you for the inspiration 💕
Please do more press on nail videos! You are amazing!
Thank you !! ♥️
When you sell your nails do they come with the sticky thing all ready on them and we just put glue on it to stick to our nails?
No you have to buy the glue separately ☹️
Did you put base coat on the fake nails?❤️
No I didn’t :)
In terms of nail health what's better, press ons or gel tips
I’m not a professional but from my personal experience I feel like hard gel tips are better for nail health 🙆🏻♀️
@@MonicaMichellee alrighty thanks for the feedback
@@ogonebasiamang2163 of course !
What nail glue do you recommend using? Since this whole quarantine happened I’ve been doing my own press on nails and I can’t find a good glue that lasts. I would appreciate it if you gave me a recommendation!!✨✨❤️

Monica Michelle thank you will be trying!!
You’re welcome !!
Great video! How do you remove the number behind the nail?
Thank you !! I just file it down or cut it & the number comes off :)
Thank you, for this detailed video.
You’re welcome :)
did you put a top coat over the nails with the butterfly sequens? , to get them to stick did you add a nail coat first then place the butterfly's on?
I put a nail coat first then placed the butterflies cured it and then applied top coat on top :)
Did you put the nail stand inside the UV lamp (for curing) or did you put the nail stand right in front of the opening of the lamp?
I put the whole thing in the UV light :)
@@MonicaMichellee oh okay, thanks! I thought the lamp would stop working because there's a metal present🤷🏽♀️
I bought a foil sheets colorful ones for my candy giveaway in Halloween.. and I just thought I can use them too for nails
Hey! I’m interested in learning to do these. Do you use a new nail buffer for every set? Or the same since you’re not actually using it on clients hands?
I use the same buffer for like two -three sets then change it out for a new one :)
If I was a nail tech and was doing nails on clients I’d def change the buffer every client !
Monica Michelle okay thank you so much! I’m excited to try and recreate these for myself!
Oooh if you take pics tag me on insta @monicamichelee so I can see 😍
You just got another subscriber 😌😊😁
Thank you for the support ♥️
Do I absolutely need a uv light for the nails or would they be fine without it?
If you’re using gel polish yes !!
Nice I love it 🥰😘
Thank you !
This was so helpful! Def gonna sub, can you make a video of nail art ideas???
I can try !! I’m not the best at it tho ):
@@MonicaMichellee im sure ur great! cant wait for the video!!!!
On Amazon I had found some nail stands for about $5-7 lol just letting y’all know !
Oh nice ! 😊
On aliexpress for a dollar
So you applied base coat , added the butterflies, then cured?
Yes :)
@@MonicaMichellee do they stay better than using rhinestone gel?
I’d say use rhinestone glue if you have it better 😊
Cute ! Did you paint a clear coat over the butterflies as well?
Thank you ! & yes I put a top coat over the butterflies as well 🥰
Where do you put your nails once their all done being dry
, Is their like a stand ?
You can use a stand or a small bag :)
I know I’m kind a late but I love your videos also love nails so cute
Never to late ! Thank you sm 🤍

How did you get your gold foil to stick onto your press on nails? I don’t like what I’m using.
I just use gel top coat and then cure it :)
Monica Michelle I did that and it left the nails sticky I wiped them down with alcohol after I’m gonna keep trying to see if over time it comes out better. Thanks!!

Did you add top coat to the butterfly’s or did you just leave it how it was
I added top coat to the butterflies 😌
I'm looking for a good gel LED light? which one is yours??
Ahhh I got it off amazon almost two years ago I don’t think they sell it anymore sadly ):
Monica Michelle aww okay thank you!
These are so good 😍 u did an amazing job. Just one doubt, why didn't you choose a regular gel base coat? Can we skip this step for press ons?
Thank you ♥️ I’m not sure what you mean by regular gel base coat ?
Same question here! I’ve seen other people applying base coat before the color (as you would with natural nails)
@@pazalvarez9863 its totally optional, basically what you prefer. I skip the base coat step with press ons because they already have a smooth base but never skip base coat when it comes to my natural nails (:

Where did u get the press on nails? which size need? i am gonna buy the same nail holder. Thank you .
Amazon ! It’s linked the description box 💕
@@MonicaMichellee thank you Monica
Can u use double sided tape as a reference for the mounting putty
I’m not sure . But that sounds like a good idea you should definitely test it out 🙌🏼✨
Yeses I do it seems so much easier then the putty or whatever go for it!!
super cute
So the butterflies do they sit flushed on the nail?
Sadly no ):

The nail glue I just linked is really good! But if I’m being honest .. I use super glue and it lasts haha
Do you use gorlia glue for your press on?
No just kiss speed dry nail glue 😊
Is there a problem if I put the whole nail stand in the UV lamp?
No not at all :)
it wont curre at all even after multiple 60 seconds in the lamp when i put the whole stand in. no issue when i do them on mysslf. no clue what im doing wrong
Where are the sticker sheets from? Don’t see the link
Amazon !
where did u get the blue thing??
Amazon :)
Hi!
How can you remove the nail size number under the nails without it being noticeable for clear nail designs?
Since it’s at the very tip you can either file it off or just trim it :)
after you apply the butterflies is the nail bumpy. If not can you give me a tip for them not to be bumpy. It bothers me if the nail is bumpy.
Yeah it is a bit bumpy ): I think the only way for it not to be bumpy is if you were using the butterflies with an acrylic set , like incapsulating them
You can encapsulate the nail with builder gel or acrylic. I typically use IBD builder gel. Then buff and topcoat the nail.
Where do you get the stuff?
Amazon :)
What topcoat did you use?
Hi ! This is the top coat I LOVE to use
Beetles No Wipe Top Coat

What’s the brand of the UV light?
I’m not sure I got it from Amazon about two years ago 🥺
Are u selling these on Etsy cus they are really pretty 💕
I am ♥️ & thank you !!!
I want to start doing press ons but the exchange rate is a monsterrrrrrr......it's really hard ordering stuff to ship them
when i put the gel polish on the nails my thumbs gel polish expands under the uv light and makes it look funny any tips?
I’d say cure your thumb first that way the gel polish doesn’t start shifting and then cure the rest of your fingers :)
how did you promote your business when you first launched it ?
Instagram! It helped a lot , but I’ve stopped selling press on nails
Does anyone know what that sticky blue puddy is called?

What led lamp is that ???
I bought it two years ago so I haven’t been able to find it ): BUT in my recent video I linked a similar one ! 😇
How do u know the size to sell??
I have a nail chart up on my Etsy that helps customers measure their nails prior to ordering . Once they know their size they select it and I go from there :)

@@Socalstoragefinds you have to prep your natural nail too with a buffer unless they wont stick either
Idk why my nails won't dry fully I put a thin layer and it's still sticky . Idk if it my nail lamp ? Maybe I got the wrong one or some lol idk
If it’s sticky after you cure your nails with a top coat spray the nail with some alcohol and wipe it with a lint free wipe or a piece of paper towel. That should help ☺️
Did you mean jelly nails?? Anyways these turned out cute!! 🤩

When making your press on . After cutting does it have the same thickness as salon nails , like can I accidentally stratch someone?
keyzRoselaine I wanna say yes lol
Thanks for your response. ask because I have kids . Dont want to stratch them accidentally.
Do you do custom sizes because I don’t see an option on your Etsy
My size options are small medium or large :) I’m not doing custom sizing because I’m not selling press ons after Aug 17
Monica Michelle oh.. sadly I won’t fit any
Sorry about that!
I actually done this before and doesn’t it bother you how thin the nails are or how the butterflies stick out a little from the top coat or you end up with a slightly bumpy top layer? Like I can definitely see yours and its just like that when you’re showing the “finished” product. Don’t you get complaints from your clients
Lol well the nails I use aren’t thin and nope no complaints!
The butterflies are so lumpy on the nail it’s not smooth 😥
Like I stated in the video I’m not a professional. If you happen to know how to prevent this I would love to know how ! :)
@@MonicaMichellee you can use cling wrap to wrap the butterflies after laying them to help them lay flat
Or
Bend the butterflies a little bit and lay them flat

Use nail foil glue, cure, wait 60 sec, press the butterflies on and then top with top coat it’ll make it smoother
Or encapsulate it in builder gel, file, buff and use top coat.
These will help have them looking “smooth” and consistent.
