People love to hate on my press on nails. Truth is I think they're just mad I save a lot of money using drug store. Lol! I definitely have to use this technique TONIGHT! Thanks alot Queen!
Instead of buffing the inside of the nail, you can take a Q-tip and some nail polish remover you can use the regular or the pure acetone and wipe the inside of it it will get that sticky coat right off
Coming back a year later to say that I have been doing this with full coverage nail tips for a year after seeing this video and it is amazing! I have 1 inch nails, am a single mom of 7 and am hard on my nails. These last for 3 or 4 weeks. My current set is on week 2 and I have put together a bed, taken apart 2 beds, and ripped the side panel off of my van to fix a stuck seat belt. These nails aren’t budging! So much healthier and safer than glue and so cheap. It takes me an hour to do my nails. Here are my steps 1. Good nail prep is a must. 2. Buff inside of tip(this is what makes them last for me. They only last a week without this step.) 3. Base coat cured on natural nail. 4. Adhere tip to nail with base coat and cure. 5. Clip, shape and Buff nail tip gently 5. Base coat 6. Polish 7. Top coat 8. Cuticle oil This works y’all!
@@liyahb5567 I’ve never had an issue with it curing. I’ve used clear nails and tan nails. I usually cure for 2 minutes but they are secure after 20 seconds or less
1. Remove cuticles (I personally like to push them back instead; it’s not as harmful to the nail and works just as well) 2. File the nail beds of your real nails 3. Apply base coat to your nail beds 4. Buff the back of the fake nail until you see the shine of it dulling out 5. Apply the base coat on back of the fake nail (remember to tip the edge!) 6. Press down and put it in the UV lamp
I started putting my on my press ons with gel instead of glue and it is LIFE CHANGING! It lasts about 3-4 weeks and I just use $10 sets from Amazon. Never going back to the salon 😫 this is my 4th set and they all stayed on close to a month. Thanks!
I'm in my 40s and I've worn press-ons nails since I was in my mid 20's because I had a scare with the nail salon so I haven't been back since press-ons hv changed dramatically throughout the years I absolutely love the different styles they have to choose from they came a long ways LOL I'm not into those Long nails tho lol I've always used nail glue or gel super glue I've never use nail tabs just not secure for me I've always gotten complements on my nails and the fact I switch up as often as I want W/O damaging my nailbeds some women addiction is shoes/purses my is Press-ons 🤭 Btw Ladies ck out SHEIN awesome place to order nails/etc from 🤗
@@jaedeandinecya6501 Hi you can get clear gel nail polish it say’s it actually works like having gel nail’s on but I’ve never tried doing this I bought the clear gel to put on top of the fake nail to hopefully make it stay on longer it didn’t but I didn’t use a nail lamp either maybe we should both try it ‼️👍🏻😉 If you do try it GOOD LUCK 🍀
Who was TODAY YEARS OLD when they found out about this hack?! Game changer for life!!! I moved to THE DMV five years ago and still haven't found a great nail tech ! Thank you!!!
I started doing this about 6 months ago when I saw another RUclipsr doing this and haven’t used glue since. I love it! My press ons last until I want to take them off.
Press on nails meant to be a fast method! I have come to like press ons! This method is GREAT as glue is NOT answer! My nails does not last with glue. This method is a game changer! I would ❤️ to try these!
I did this and thought it wasn’t going to work and it really did!!!!! I’m so happy I found a way to save money and do my nails I buy plain natural nails and put them on and shape and paint them to whatever color I want and I had mines on for over 2 weeks they haven’t popped off or lifted either I love it 🥰
OMFGGGGGG WHAT A GAME CHANGER!!! I just bought some cute $6 press ons and did this and girl I am MF SHOOK!!! I will never ever ever go back to a nail salon and spend $50+ every 2 weeks. Periodt. You just earned yourself a new subscriber 💕 I LOVE YOUUUUUUU
@Bree Yah I will suggest you use dish gloves for washing your dishes and for cleaning definitely helps your nails from lifting or being damaged period especially if you like me I have to wash my dishes with Clorox LOL it really makes a difference trust me I've been wearing press on nails waaay before it became a thing LOL and I've always used gloves to protect my nails
THey are much cheaper and I can do them myself with out spending $50 every two weeks to have my nails look nice, I have thin nails due to chemotherapy and just looking at them they break with out some kind of extra protection
I love love press-ons because they are just as beautiful as acrylics or gels or polygels but the are the ultimate “look for less”.....my fave kind of look Thx Kristina
Omg I just discovered this technique today and lemme tell you...it WORKS!!! I'mma throw all my glue away & stock up on UV base coats now lol so happy to be able to have press-ons for > 5 days 🙌🏻 u changed the game sis tysm ❤
@@yz6836 I just did my nails 3 days ago with colored press on nails and it works the same as the jelly nails I tried a while back. They're not budging and haven't popped off once.
I cannot thank you enough for this!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I have a couple of conditions that cause my nails to be paper thin and ridged and peel-y and splitty, and acrylics do a real number on them. This is so much less damaging and lasts so long!!! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to improve the look of my nails without damaging them further!!!!
I use the same exact method in mine kept popping off within a day or two. Now I know why. Fitting sidewall to sidewall is super important! Thank you for the video you have helped me!💜🙂
This is the best way for me when applying my nails. I came across it last year and it was a game changer, especially if you do it right and aren’t to rough with your nails.Mine definitely last 2-3 weeks it’s so much better than using nail glue 😍
After doing this method what has been the best way to remove them? Acetone? Or after 2-3 weeks they’re pretty easy to rip off after a little bit of pressure?
WHAT KIND OF GEL DO I NEEEEEED?!?! i been using glue and now im like "why did i not THINK of this?!?" what she mean by gel base coat and gel peel off or something? what kind a gel do i need help a sister out i know im a year late LOL
I bought pre-painted and designed press-one and am wondering if the base coat being used as a glue will actually cure with the led light?! Will the light go all the way through the press on nail when it has coloured polish in it?
Thank you for this video! I just did my first set using this method and I’ve gotten so many compliments. I also kickbox (so I’m heavy with my hands) and it lasted me through my workout! Excited to see how long they last for me and my lifestyle
@@TheEmpressImpress that's what I want to know. I do a cleaning job& are constantly using my hands. So I would like to know if they would stay while working bc I sure would love to try some

I couldn't believe how easy you made it look. Love your videos so helpful with my short nail issues, thanks for being so genuine it comes through your instructions. Keep teaching me I'm ready to learn some more.
❤ just in time for me! I bought press ons this week because I broke 2 of my natural nails! I didn't want to deal with silk or fiberglass patching! Stay creative and pls keep bringing us "bomb" hacks & techniques! As always AMEN for God's Word!😊
I’m in love press ons because I’m an essential worker and I started wearing press ons when I would ruin my nails less than a day of doing them. Now if one pops off I put it in my pocket for later reuse. I sanitize and file down the glue too.
I feel you Im an animal care technican I work a rough physicially demanding job and I get so sick and tired of my press on nails popping off. The glue doesn't stay. And I wear latex gloves at work. I can't wait to use her method 😍🤗
This was a game changer for me! I've been doing polygel nails for the past year or so and they are sooo time consuming. Not to mention they only last about a week. After seeing this video and trying it out, I'm never going back lol. I've had mine on for two weeks now and none have broken or fallen off. Thank you for sharing this tip!!
I’m going to try the no glue method. This looks real easy but with all your videos you make it look so easy and simple. thanks for being so detailed. Love ya.
yes! tried and loved...also luv the "lazy girl" method, doing press ons/full cover tips...applying with builder gel as the adhesive...tysm booskie!!! XXXX
Life. Changing. Yesterday I decided to give up on press ons after trying three different times. But found your video, tried it out and so far it’s fool proof! Thank you for sharing!
I love press on nails, with my busy life, I don’t have the time to go to a salon! Watching your videos I have learned so much, now I get to do my own nails. Thank you! 🥰❤️
I’ve recently just got into nails and I find press on so easy. They are just a get up, glue and go. Plus they can make a look,like girl your nails is so cute😂😂
🙌🏽 I'm going to say that this is just great because everybody just can't use acrylic I for one can't because I'm allergic to it so switching to gel can help but these nails are great for everybody that still might love nails but don't want the work of it all to get them these are already nicely shaped & painted so thanks for sharing this with us giving another option to be able to choose from!
@@amberkraemer6894 right! I've worn acrylic nails for more than 30 years and since the pandemic Ive been doing my nails and last week tried press on nails. Let me tell you something, my nail no longer sees me for nail service. It's really therapeutic for me when doing my nails. I have to do this hack!
My mother has been dealing with a nail that has turned black/infected & with a swollen cuticle….for over a year now. The nail tech used his one long fingernail to push her cuticle back & she told him it hurt….next thing you know it’s all infected! Soaking it/repeated antibiotics have not worked. She told me she drove by the nail place the other day & gave them the finger 🤣
Finally. You cracked the code for me. Been looking for a longer hold for my press ons. My family will be happy there wont be lost random nails everywhere now. 😂
WHAT KIND OF GEL DO I NEEEEEED?!?! i been using glue and now im like "why did i not THINK of this?!?" what she mean by gel base coat and gel peel off or something? what kind a gel do i need help a sister out i know im a year late LOL
I am learning to become a nail tech...but as a busy mom of 4..I like press on nails because they are a quicker way to get a great look! They come pre-designed and I get to enjoy different looks! Thank you for the chance
I AM A MOTHER OF 2 BOYS AND SINCE THAN I HAVENT DONE MY NAILS I USED TO GO GET THEM DONE EVERY 2 TO 3 WEEKS BUT NO MORESINCE THAN ... AND I JUST STARTED USING PRESS ONS OH MAN SOO MUCH cheaper and nice nails i just learning by watching your videos 🥰💖💖💖💖
Wow i didnt know you could use this with press on nails (nails that are already designed) i didnt know the gel could cure. Awesome! Cant wait to try it.
I think these nails must be ever so slightly transparent so that the light can go through, most designed press on nails this wont work for unless the nail bed area isn’t fully opaque
I love press on because I can slay my nails and not break the bank but still look like I went to the nail shop...I love your channel thank you for all the hacks have learned so much.
If the press-ons are pre-painted with a colour, will the led light still go right through the press-ons and cure properly? I bought press-one that are pre-painted and decorated. I would have thought the light couldn’t get through them? 🤷🏻♀
if y’all are wondering if this really works: i’ve been using this method for almost a year, and it works amazingly! and you don’t even need that much base coat on your nails!
So peel off base coat meant that you just peel the nails off when you're through right but .. 1) If using reg base coat, does it work the same and are they just as good staying put? 2) How do I take them off without damaging the fake nails with reg base coat since I can't use oil or soapy warm water to remove them?
She said "without damaging the nails" ... I was wondering the same thing, because I'd like to reuse them if possible, and I want to avoid damaging my real nails as well!!
Such a good hack! I'm glad I found you!!!❤️ I love nails, I've been doing my own for years but I'm not professional at all 😂 I've done acrylic, dip powder, polygel but this honestly seems like the easiest way! 💅🏼 Brb going to get press ons and try this out 😁
I just bought a few boxes of these nails and I was wanting to try them this way with my hard builder gel and was only thinking that it wouldn't cure through the opaque nails but your video showed me it will work! Thanks love!
Alright sis, I’m gonna try this method out! I love press ons but they never last more than a day with me. I even use super glue, and they still pop off 😭
In addition to the method described in the video, which I'm going to try, you can also fill the underside of the press-on with acrylic, which dries without the need for an LED light. You can find videos of that method on RUclips.
@@ellenlevenson7831 good point, I remember going to the jail shop and this lady had ridiculously long nails and asked the guy to put glue on the underside of her nail
Do you use this method with colored nails? This didn't work for already paint nails... But seemed to work for her and you. Wonder what I'm doing wrong....
I love this method, I also learned the lazy girl method from Femi Beauty. The color of the set you put on is gorgeous. I like press ons because they're convenient. Being a mother of 4, I don't always have time to get my nails done.
I just put my nails on this way immediately after watching this video... I'm amazed 👏🏾. Now to see how long they will last, my press ons are very long, so we will see. Glue was just working my nerves so I really hope this method gives better longevity. EDIT!: THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH COLORED NAILS. I just tried this with prepolished short nails about 10 minutes ago and they are already popping off. Works fine with clear nails, because they are clear, duh. But prepolished is a no.
@@simplydee25 Update. The longer nails lasted a week. But I removed them so effortlessly, filed, sanitized and reapplied them after cutting them to a fairly regular length (not short, but not super long) and the first one popped off today (2 weeks later) because I was doing something aggressive with them. So I would say it works, just be mindful if nail length.
Omg thank you so much for this video. I will show my daughter is in love with press on nail because it have glue i don't let her wear. I also love them myself. Lol you show me the light. Now i cant let my daughter wear press on nails 💅. Thank you so much.
Im an animal care technican I work a rough physicially demanding job and I get so sick and tired of my press on nails popping off. The glue doesn't stay. And I wear latex gloves at work. I can't wait to use her method 😍🤗
Do you have any issues with the gel not being cured? I'm trying to apply a fully cover red matte set and the gel doesn't seem to want to cure through the nail and polish, any suggestions?
I’ve read comments and saying the nail has to be somewhat opaque/see through for the lamp to reach the gel so it’s best to use clear or white nails and put them on and then paint them
You are AMAZING at what you do! Ugghhh even your reaction to this “bashing” going on you deliver great content. Keep going it’s inspiring how you present yourself to us you have your work cut out for you!
I didn't know you could use base coat as glue with nails that are painted already... I tried but didn't stick maybe I didn't do them right... I've gotta try this thank you... love you videos... you are so much help... I love doing my nails... I want to learn how to do glitter or flakes that look like they are in between glass hard to explain... but I can't figure out how... maybe use solid glue gel..?
I'm so new to all of this but the nails were beautiful! But I can't wait to get all the tips n tricks down packed and have beautiful nails! It's been yrs since I've had any type of nice nails!

Nails are expensive nowadays
Instead of buffing the inside of the nail, you can take a Q-tip and some nail polish remover you can use the regular or the pure acetone and wipe the inside of it it will get that sticky coat right off

I feel you Im an animal care technican I work a rough physicially demanding job and I get so sick and tired of my press on nails popping off. The glue doesn't stay. And I wear latex gloves at work. I can't wait to use her method 😍🤗
@@dianalopez876 let me know how it works for you. I work in a lab and whenever I used press ons they would pop off
I’m hoping a lot of people get into this habit. It’s much more economical and if you do go to a nail tech just for prep, they would charge a lot less.
I love 💕 press on nails because it makes me happy to do something for myself,and it makes me feel pretty!
I've never worn press on nails but these make me want to try them! 😍
This was a game changer for me! I've been doing polygel nails for the past year or so and they are sooo time consuming. Not to mention they only last about a week.
After seeing this video and trying it out, I'm never going back lol.
I've had mine on for two weeks now and none have broken or fallen off. Thank you for sharing this tip!!
I’m going to try the no glue method. This looks real easy but with all your videos you make it look so easy and simple. thanks for being so detailed. Love ya.
I'm binge watching your older press on nail videos today. Lol, love these, they're gorgeous! Blessings from Scotland. 🙏🏴🌺
yes! tried and loved...also luv the "lazy girl" method, doing press ons/full cover tips...applying with builder gel as the adhesive...tysm booskie!!! XXXX
Umm where do you get the builder gel? What brand do you use? Thanks
Life. Changing. Yesterday I decided to give up on press ons after trying three different times. But found your video, tried it out and so far it’s fool proof! Thank you for sharing!
YOU CHANGED THE GAME! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US THIS GEM
I love press on nails, with my busy life, I don’t have the time to go to a salon! Watching your videos I have learned so much, now I get to do my own nails. Thank you! 🥰❤️
I’ve recently just got into nails and I find press on so easy. They are just a get up, glue and go. Plus they can make a look,like girl your nails is so cute😂😂
🙌🏽 I'm going to say that this is just great because everybody just can't use acrylic I for one can't because I'm allergic to it so switching to gel can help but these nails are great for everybody that still might love nails but don't want the work of it all to get them these are already nicely shaped & painted so thanks for sharing this with us giving another option to be able to choose from!
😁❣️ fast to put on and their designs are better than anything I can do 😆 🙏💅
shooott, their designs are better than most nail salons can do ! PERIOD . LBVS 🥰💯
love the news
lol
@@amberkraemer6894 right! I've worn acrylic nails for more than 30 years and since the pandemic Ive been doing my nails and last week tried press on nails. Let me tell you something, my nail no longer sees me for nail service. It's really therapeutic for me when doing my nails. I have to do this hack!
That’s pretty! I might start doing this because I’m tired of every nail salon sawing my nails when they shape them and cutting my skin!
That’s the same reason I stop going to nail salons.
Yes same I hate that !!!
And then spray alcohol in your cuts they just made 🙄
My mother has been dealing with a nail that has turned black/infected & with a swollen cuticle….for over a year now.
The nail tech used his one long fingernail to push her cuticle back & she told him it hurt….next thing you know it’s all infected!
Soaking it/repeated antibiotics have not worked.
She told me she drove by the nail place the other day & gave them the finger 🤣
Finally. You cracked the code for me. Been looking for a longer hold for my press ons. My family will be happy there wont be lost random nails everywhere now. 😂
🤣🤣🤣 My mother-in-law just called me yesterday to tell me she found another nail 🙄girl just throw it away.. My wife always finds them in the washer 🤣🤣
LMAO!
WHAT KIND OF GEL DO I NEEEEEED?!?! i been using glue and now im like "why did i not THINK of this?!?" what she mean by gel base coat and gel peel off or something? what kind a gel do i need help a sister out i know im a year late LOL
Girl I have top coat sitting in my room and press on but no glue this video is it for me. I love love love this ❤️❤️❤️
you use top coat? idk the difference betwene gel polishes...do i need base coat, top coat, peel off , im so confuseddd
Love press on nails for the value, variety, and ease of just pressing them on! LOL
I’m glad I came across this video because I was thinking of using my poly gel base coat as glue as well. I’m excited to try this out now
Can you try the cat eye magnetic polish mix it with polygel.... an see if it still works.
I am learning to become a nail tech...but as a busy mom of 4..I like press on nails because they are a quicker way to get a great look! They come pre-designed and I get to enjoy different looks! Thank you for the chance
Omg you just saved me girl! I have been struggling to figure out how to get them to last! And not lift! Ugh so happy. Trying out tomorrow
Did it work love?
@@shayhayden837 yes!!!
@@curlrockincrazy455 I just tried it and it didn’t work for me. Any tips?
I AM A MOTHER OF 2 BOYS AND SINCE THAN I HAVENT DONE MY NAILS I USED TO GO GET THEM DONE EVERY 2 TO 3 WEEKS BUT NO MORESINCE THAN ... AND I JUST STARTED USING PRESS ONS OH MAN SOO MUCH cheaper and nice nails i just learning by watching your videos 🥰💖💖💖💖
Wow i didnt know you could use this with press on nails (nails that are already designed) i didnt know the gel could cure. Awesome! Cant wait to try it.
my thoughts exactly, something isnt right!
I think these nails must be ever so slightly transparent so that the light can go through, most designed press on nails this wont work for unless the nail bed area isn’t fully opaque
If it’s hard gel like the gel you can build with an use over designs an stuff yes. It work. I use it for my nails an it holds better then glue.
@@samimua1986 wait... so hard gel works on nails that are opaque?! I’ve only done it with clear or sheer nails.
@@MissNish02 it doesn’t lmao, the light from the lamp needs to actually hit the gel otherwise the gel won’t cure at all
I love press on because I can slay my nails and not break the bank but still look like I went to the nail shop...I love your channel thank you for all the hacks have learned so much.
I do my toe nails like this and they stay for a month and it looks salon. I love it trying it for the first time with my nails tonight. 💅🏻 thanks
If the press-ons are pre-painted with a colour, will the led light still go right through the press-ons and cure properly? I bought press-one that are pre-painted and decorated. I would have thought the light couldn’t get through them? 🤷🏻♀
Wow those look so beautiful. Loving the bling. Press on nails are a game changer for a quick elegant look.
if y’all are wondering if this really works: i’ve been using this method for almost a year, and it works amazingly! and you don’t even need that much base coat on your nails!
Same here! It works!
what kind of base coat do you recommend?
@@cardibee8969 For me, I soak them off with just soap and warm water if I'm keeping the press ons. If I don't want to keep them I use acetone.
@@lyricconaway1929 Any base coat
Do you have to cure them on the lamp when you apply already the nail ?
I love the press ons because I can change them with my outfits. I can stand being stuck with the same ones
So peel off base coat meant that you just peel the nails off when you're through right but ..
1) If using reg base coat, does it work the same and are they just as good staying put?
2) How do I take them off without damaging the fake nails with reg base coat since I can't use oil or soapy warm water to remove them?
Soak them in acetone
She said "without damaging the nails" ... I was wondering the same thing, because I'd like to reuse them if possible, and I want to avoid damaging my real nails as well!!
GIIIIIRRRLLLL YOUR ABOUT TO SAVE ME SO MUCH MONEY. Cause after about a month um ready for the salon acrylics to come off anyway. Thankyou queen
Such a good hack! I'm glad I found you!!!❤️ I love nails, I've been doing my own for years but I'm not professional at all 😂 I've done acrylic, dip powder, polygel but this honestly seems like the easiest way! 💅🏼 Brb going to get press ons and try this out 😁
I'm coming back to press ons. Great video! Thanks for the base coat tip. Excited to try on my next set.
Press on Thursday’s woohoo I’m here for it they are so beautiful ♥️♥️ luv it
I just bought a few boxes of these nails and I was wanting to try them this way with my hard builder gel and was only thinking that it wouldn't cure through the opaque nails but your video showed me it will work! Thanks love!
Alright sis, I’m gonna try this method out! I love press ons but they never last more than a day with me. I even use super glue, and they still pop off 😭
In addition to the method described in the video, which I'm going to try, you can also fill the underside of the press-on with acrylic, which dries without the need for an LED light. You can find videos of that method on RUclips.
@@ellenlevenson7831 good point, I remember going to the jail shop and this lady had ridiculously long nails and asked the guy to put glue on the underside of her nail
i didint expect this to work so imagine my shock when it did. thanks!!
Never knew that base coat can be solely used as glue. The look bomb girl!
Me nethier we learn something new 😊
Is she saying ANY base coat? I have a Gelish base coat I could use..
I love love love press ons. I get mine from Etsy soo many talented artists!!! I’m gonna check this out!! I just found u girl!!!! 🎉
Thank you so much. This works great. My nails have lasted two weeks so far. So 😊
Do you use this method with colored nails? This didn't work for already paint nails... But seemed to work for her and you. Wonder what I'm doing wrong....
I’m so loaded up on press on nails. 💅🏽 all kinda designs and style lengths
This works I used the beetles base coat and went back over the nail with base coat and a top coat. Looks just like I went to the shop THANKS ❤
Hey does beetles work well?
@@anablessed Yes it does but I no longer do this method
@@mekb1258 can I ask why you stopped. I was thinking about trying it.
@@tladyleggz It doesnt seem to last with press ons already designed for me
@@mekb1258 how are you doing it now
So I just tried this on one nail 🤯. I'm hype. Can't wait to do a whole set.
@Rachel Fernandez i use the beetles gel nail starter kit I bought off Amazon. It was about $20 and came with a lamp too.
I love this method, I also learned the lazy girl method from Femi Beauty. The color of the set you put on is gorgeous. I like press ons because they're convenient. Being a mother of 4, I don't always have time to get my nails done.
I wish I would’ve saw this yesterday…I just glued some nails but I used A TON to help them not pop off. Currently using efile around cuticle
I just put my nails on this way immediately after watching this video... I'm amazed 👏🏾. Now to see how long they will last, my press ons are very long, so we will see. Glue was just working my nerves so I really hope this method gives better longevity. EDIT!: THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH COLORED NAILS. I just tried this with prepolished short nails about 10 minutes ago and they are already popping off. Works fine with clear nails, because they are clear, duh. But prepolished is a no.
Update?
Is it a regular gel base coat?
@@simplydee25 Update. The longer nails lasted a week. But I removed them so effortlessly, filed, sanitized and reapplied them after cutting them to a fairly regular length (not short, but not super long) and the first one popped off today (2 weeks later) because I was doing something aggressive with them. So I would say it works, just be mindful if nail length.
@@conejitoverde Yes, mine is a regular soak-off gel polish base coat.
I never knew base coat would work!! I've tried the builder gel&that worked for me . But this?!?? Gotta try it!!!
Christine Ferguson which builder gel do you use . The base coat did not work for me
@@pinklala007 use orly builder in a bottle.
Beautiful love the nails!! Could you put the link for the base coat the you use.
Omg thank you so much for this video. I will show my daughter is in love with press on nail because it have glue i don't let her wear. I also love them myself. Lol you show me the light. Now i cant let my daughter wear press on nails 💅. Thank you so much.
Im an animal care technican I work a rough physicially demanding job and I get so sick and tired of my press on nails popping off. The glue doesn't stay. And I wear latex gloves at work. I can't wait to use her method 😍🤗
I like press ons because they are fast and easy. Especially when you have a last minute function to attend! Love them! ♥️😍😘
Yes!! Bring it back Press on Thursdayz!! 😍😆
i’ve been envisioning this method in my head for years but was scared to try 😭😭
So what are you using to hold on the acrylic nail base-coat ?. loved it !. thanks for sharing.
Where did the peel off base/top coat come from? I may have missed it lol I’m a bit ditsy.
I had no idea this application can also work for press on’s! This is a game changer! 😍❤️
Do you have any issues with the gel not being cured? I'm trying to apply a fully cover red matte set and the gel doesn't seem to want to cure through the nail and polish, any suggestions?
Did you try nail base Instead of gel?
I’ve read comments and saying the nail has to be somewhat opaque/see through for the lamp to reach the gel so it’s best to use clear or white nails and put them on and then paint them
I have been waiting for a useful video like this one as how to incorporate gel base to use with press on nails. Thank you so much!
You are AMAZING at what you do! Ugghhh even your reaction to this “bashing” going on you deliver great content. Keep going it’s inspiring how you present yourself to us you have your work cut out for you!
I didn't know you could use base coat as glue with nails that are painted already... I tried but didn't stick maybe I didn't do them right... I've gotta try this thank you... love you videos... you are so much help... I love doing my nails... I want to learn how to do glitter or flakes that look like they are in between glass hard to explain... but I can't figure out how... maybe use solid glue gel..?
OMG iv been looking for a alternative to nail glue because I think I'm allergic to it and now I click on your video and see this thank you so much
I'm so new to all of this but the nails were beautiful! But I can't wait to get all the tips n tricks down packed and have beautiful nails! It's been yrs since I've had any type of nice nails!
Will you do thr LA COLOR press on nail review/tutorial with this method plz❣
Never going back, I love this!!!
This method works great! They really do last about 3 weeks, and I’m tough on my hands.
@Sharon Rose I have, I just leave my hand in the light longer, which isn’t too good for your skin
@Prittinikki Weeks what kind of base coat did you use? Thx
@@nakrishaw what type of base coat did you use?
@@t.felton9314 sorry for the late response, I use whatever I have at that time
So what base coat is this exactly? Also how do you remove them? Will it damage the press ons or our nails?
I am wondering the same. Is it regular base coat or a special base coat for gel nails
Fast, simply, and still the same nice look that is achieved as if you went to a nail salon!
