For everyone wondering: I've used this method since this video came out! These will last me for 1-3 weeks. Depending on when I get bored of the color. I've only had one pop off and it was because I didn't use enough glue. Follow all of her steps exactly and this will work for you! I went out and bought these exact nails and nail glue. The only tip I have is be careful with the glue. It's easy to end up covered in glue! Also, I do these on Saturdays so I can sleep in the nails so they can completely dry, and then I paint them the next morning/day!
Hey, I'm a nail tech and I just wanted to give you a tip. Don't file back and forth on your nail it does lot more harm then you realize only file going in one direction. Right to left. I think all of your videos are amazing!
I’m 50 years old, have filed back and forth for at least 40 years. I have beautiful natural nails even with filing back and forth. Due to medications have had to strengthen nails.
Just the comment I was looking for!! Getting ready to do a massive cleaning in my house and at my parents. Then we’re moving hopefully in the fall! So maybe I wait? I don’t want to!
Just thought I'd stop in to let you know I took your advice and you are right... your method works! I have never liked my nails, and I always thought fake nails would never last for my lifestyle. You have changed all that, I now love my nails and they fit with my lifestyle without falling off. Thank you so much, I am so pleased.
Nail files make me feel nauseous, so instead I apply a very thin coat of glitter nail polish. I find it provides enough texture to allow the press ons to stick.
Tried these out and I'm beyond impressed. I'm a swim instructor so I spend 6 hours straight in a pool every day. I've had these on since yesterday morning, and after 12 hours total in the pool, they're still strong and looking fab af😍😍😍
I live in England and I just got fake nails today for an early 10th birthday present because Im a kid and I got some forever lasting nails and it's soooo cool! I love them so much and even when they fall of they're easy to stick back on with the nail glue it comes with. I painted my fake nails fire red and the ring finger ( the one next to your pinkie) neon green. I looked up this video and thank you so much! this is a great help for an early birthday present.💅💚🎉🎊🎁
I just discovered press on nails and having been a teen when they were big in the 80’s and knowing how hideous they were, I was blown away at how awesome they are now. I’m hooked. Thanks for the tips! I’m loving the ones that are already painted and short. They look amazing and I’m so over my nail salon where nobody speaks English and their service is hideous.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve been doing my nails a lot lately and I think putting on press on nails are so fun and easy to do. I haven’t found a lot of good tutorials yet and this is just really helps me. I love your channel. And you make wonderful videos.
Thank you for this video, I just recently stopped getting my nails done at the salon because of the ridiculous cost, usual bad service, and waist of time and damage to my real nails. So this is perfect.
This works better than anything I’ve ever done! They lasted almost 2 weeks which is pretty long considering I’m a barista and do dishes constantly. Plus I got so many compliments! Will definitely be using this method forever
so I went out today and bought all the same things she used (except I bought the nails in the shape "short square") . They turned out amazing! I'm so blown away by how natural looking, comfortable and beautiful they are. I would definetly recommend!!
Sooo I’ve used her exact method for several weeks with varied success. The longest I have gone with all of them staying on is 6-7 days. I have no clue how she is getting them to stay on that long. I suppose if you don’t text or type or - use your hands much. Maybe? I’m not that hard on my nails and had acrylics/gels on for a couple years before trying this. She is right about not having any moisture on your nails before applying or within several hours. That helps. Also - make sure they fit your nail ! (I.e. aren’t glued to your skin vs. your nail.) They pop off way easier if they aren’t glued to 100% nail. This is just my experience with them.. good luck! 💅
You are the best! I looked up so many tutorials and NONE OF THEM WORKED! I did exactly what you said and I don’t feel like they are going to pop off no time soon! Thank you!
I started doing my nails this way about 3 years ago. Such a money saver and TIME saver. I have 5 kids. Going to the bathroom is difficult enough, getting to a nail salon would be virtually impossible, I would have to take at least a couple of my kids with and it would ruin the experience not only for me, but for the other customers as well, Lololol!!!! I will definitely try the tips you gave about not getting the nails wet for 4 hours. Never thought about that before!
Thanks for the video!! I also use glue on nails since I became allergic to gel and acrylic, my favorite is the Kiss Curve. The only thing I do different is I shape, paint, and decorate them ahead of time then store them until I want to use them. So much easier than trying to paint while they are already on your hand, no mess!! I use a short orange stick for each nail, wrap a skinny piece of duct tape on the end, sticky side out, place the nail on that and paint it, then I put it into a holder to dry that my husband made for me. You can also just use a styrofoam block (dollar store!) to push the orange sticks into as a holder until your nails dry. I use seche Vite fast dry top coat, my fav, and let them dry overnight before I use them. Using a a good topcoat also gives the nails more strength. I have tried many different nails, but the Kiss Curve remains my favorite. They are thin and fit the best, look the most natural. I have actually had nail techs compliment me on my nails, HA!!!
I am so late, but this is still relevant. In a new city, hunting for a good nail tech- made an appointment and they canceled on me because of delays. This video is going to save my nails for this weekend (ladies weekend getaway, can't wait) I was going to hide my fingers in every photo before finding this. Plus there was a comment about using glitter polish on natural nail before filing to help prevent damage. going to try it all and bring a spare set on trip. Thank you so much for this! I will post an update soon.
Yeah definitely. It's not a big deal to me. Its just learning how to type a different way or button a shirt and little easy things like that. No biggie 😉
I have terrible nails and can't afford acrylics. I had one gel manicure that destroyed my nails for at least 9 months. I was really excited when I came across this video. I bought my press ons and followed your method today. My nails have never looked this good!!!! I'm really excited about this - thank you!!
Omg that's awesome. How did they do like did they last? I wanna do this because I had gel nails years ago and they DESTROYED my nails big time. I really really wanna do this so bad. 😳 but I hope it lasts 😳😳
sleepy I've had them on 8 days now - so far so good! All my co-workers are amazed at how good they look. Today my thumbnail popped off (first one!) because I was doing some heavy duty pulling of some fabric. I just glued it back on and it has stayed so far. That just showed me that if it does pop off, just glue it back on/ Good luck with yours!
My favorite glue on brand is nalene. I'm more of the short square type. I will never know how you keep them on 3 weeks. I do the exact same process and have been doing it for over five or so years and they only last a week. I am not by any means hard on my nails I don't keep them in water a lot. Great video thanks for sharing
omgosh brittany, thank you! We bought a house in may and I cut manis from my budget, and I am sooo excited because I totally agree with you in your other video and having my nails makes me feel the most put together. Also, I just cleaned the whole house today, so I know what I'm doing tomorrow. 💅💃❤
I’m going to try this method. I’ve decided tj start trying to do my own instead of wearing acrylics. I’ve had zero luck so far with getting them to stay. Currently on vacay with half my nails missing, ugh! 😩I will try this method when I get back home, thank you!
Love those kiss kits! I buy a few at a time and stash them. when I need fabulous nails for an occasion I bust them out! no more paying for mani/pedi, I do it all myself😅
I love how helpful this is I personally use press on nails because 1) I can't wear acrylics 2) i bite my nails so much having something to cover them well help me stop so having nails on for longer helps me a lot I definitely will try this when I get a new pack of nails
I do this too, but with the stiletto shaped Kiss nails! I usually get about 7 days out of mine, but I've never tried sanding my natural nail first. You're so smart. I'm going to try that.
I'm going to try these before an important first client/business meeting this week. Never attempted the process before but I feel confident thanks to you, beautiful!
You should also remember to work pinky to thumb moving from one hand to the other every nail to allow for proper glue drying and it's also easier to pick up the single nail and squeeze the glue bottle if you do your index fingers and thumbs last. I haven't had real finger nails since the early 90's and this is pretty much the method I've used for years.
Not at all sometimes I file them a tad too thin after changing them a few time so I'll leave them off for a week or two and use a nail protein or strengthener and just let them grow out a bit and their good as new.
I used to do this all the time when I was in high school. lol your husband is funny. They didn't always look as nice as your's do I must admit. I always got the glue stuck to one of my fingers while I pressed it down. Ever since I started taking vitamins 6-8 years ago and eating better my nails have gotten so much stronger. Applying oils to your nails makes them strong too!
I used glue-on nails for YEARS before moving on to DIY hard gel (IBD). Everything you shared here is right on! Kiss and Broadway nails are the best to use because they are the thinnest, which means the most natural look. However, the reason I stopped using glue-on nails and moved to doing my own hard gel is because when your natural nail starts to grow out, there is a gap with slight lifting at the cuticle with glue-on nails, which causes things to get stuck in it. This would happen after about a week and a half. It was a bear trying to wash or brush my hair because it was always getting caught. The same thing happened to my daughter as well. I tried numerous things to fill in the 'gap', but to no avail. The only thing that did slightly 'fill' it in somewhat was to dab some glitter polish in the crack, wiping it up slightly to make a designer look. It helped for a little while. :/
I'm totally going to try this because my nails are really short and I've been checking the comments and most of them said this is a good method I'll update for when I put them on if they really last for more than three weeks👌🏻
I can say that "static nails" are the best fake nails EVER. Yes, if you order a pair, it's not so cheap. But it's worth it, why? Because you can re-use them over and over and over again, they last for 3 weeks or even more, you can reshape them, shorten, etc. I strongly recommend static nails. And they look gorgeous...
I just did this :) with the same colours & everything. It really worked and my nails look great. Thanks so much for the tip! I couldn't find oval so I did square instead. Looks awesome. Tell your hubby if he does his nails like this for a week you'll give him a "cut" of the business lol 💅🏻😏
Im excited to see you DIY for hair. I am a blonde... IT IS SO EXPENSIVE! I am trying to cut back my costs as well. I love these DIY videos! Can't wait to see the hair one.
Thank you for uploading a beauty DIY that is so awesome, inexpensive, and practical for everyday people. A lot of other beauty/lifestyle vloggers post things that don't have a practical application and are just trying to push a sponsored product. (Not anything wrong with sponsorship, as long as the method actually works) I can't wait to try this when my nails I ordered come in!!
I have a confession to make. I did fast forward to the end of the video to see Ryan in action because I don't like false nails on myself. I wear contact lenses so they need to be short & just prefer my own nails in general too! hahah Ryan may have to charge some royalties after all.
I love seche vite to death I buy the huge refill bottle cos I go through so much it's actually more cost effective to buy the 120 ml bottle because you also get a full 15 ml bottle with it
Hi Brittany, now that your expecting a baby, are you still wearing these nails, I was just wondering because of the glue. They really do look great on.
Just curious, I'm allergic to acrylic and some gel and gel polishes as well. I noticed that the nail glue has similar ingredients to some of the gel polishes I can't use. Have you had issues with any glues with allergies? Thx
Thank you! The people that do nails at salon, some have no feelings. They rip the acrylics off your real nail & seem to have no emotions while your in pain! Not going back!. Great idea. Gonna try this, for sure.
Just put mine on and they lol great! They are a little long for my liking, so I filed them down a bit. I wish I was able to keep more or the shape though. The paint went on so easily! It took about an hour. Probably because it was my first time doing it. I think I'm obsessed!
OMG she gave me so much amazing tips that I LOVE! So now I know cause every time I would always put my nails with out what she did like not getting them wet cause every time I would clean them and then press on them for 30 sec. I would just put them and move on! Like for 5 sec then next nail! They did last longer for almost two week! That's amazing! So now I did save time and saved my money! OMG THANK YOU!!!
No shade to you or Beyonce but this is why I fucks with my Becky's with the good hair yall....omg yall have the best money saving tips honey!!!....lol....thank you and please don't take my corny joke the wrong way its shade free.....#trolldisclaimer
So i have been using those nail before watching this and then i used the tips in this video and seriously lasted longer then another way :D thank you soooo much manly because i love the shape and being able to do what i want with them!!!
You need to apply from the cuticle and rock the nail slowly towards the tip. Hold just buy the cuticle for a good 30 seconds then very slowly tilt the cake nail down towards the free edge of the natural nail. If you are still getting air bubbles try a half drop more glue. Use an orange stick to quickly remove excess glue from under the tip of your real nails if it overflows.
I used to do my own nails just like this all the time. Now I can never find the time, but also I'm in love with gel nail polish. I've been wanting to try the powder gel nail polish, it's pricey but looks so easy and fast.
+Taylor Eslick they have been on for three days so far which is better than usual but I really like the kiss nails you just need good glue and I think keeping your nails dry is key ! :)
I have been using fake nails for couple years now and the only issue i normally have is that they come off really easy or like you said flip off. I normally try to protect my real nail which is why i don't make them rough but that tip might just be the key! Thanks a lot and I love watching your videos :)
I never realized you’re not supposed to get them wet for a few hours!! No other videos mentioned it 😭 I did every other step correctly but my nails almost always pop off after a day or two and now I’m realizing it MUST be because I never kept them dry. Thank you so much!!
This works! She says to put a lot of glue, but be careful. I used the kind she did, it didn't take much for it to drip out and stick to my fingers together. Other than that worked perfectly!
You are so pretty you look like a celebrity. Your nails look so good they do not look artificial. I'm getting these tomorrow I hope I don't mess these up.
Walmart, Walgreens, Sally's beauty. Basically any beauty shop or retailer just look either in the nail section or cosmetic section!! Hope this helps!! :)
No Matter what I do I can never have them longer than like 4 days if im lucky and I don't do much activity besides typing and working out and other daily things. it frustrates me that I can't make it last for a week or even 2 weeks which would be amazing! ❤️. I think I need to have the glue closer to cuticle little bit and hold it down 30 seconds instead of 5 seconds Ill absolutely try that! also this is the best video iv ever seen because the instructions are so much more specific than the others I have seen in my opinion.
For everyone wondering:
I've used this method since this video came out! These will last me for 1-3 weeks. Depending on when I get bored of the color. I've only had one pop off and it was because I didn't use enough glue.

what nail glue do you use, and when do you replace it and when do you use it?
Sasha's Lifestyle the nail glue is in the description box
Brittany Nicole same here! I have only had these on a little over a week, but they are on SNUG. They usually would have popped off by now.
Brittany Nicole iI'm
Can you use super glue or does it have to be nail glue?
Take acetone or nail polish remover to clean the top of the nail glue bottle. It will prevent air from getting inside and therefore work like new. :)
Hey, I'm a nail tech and I just wanted to give you a tip. Don't file back and forth on your nail it does lot more harm then you realize only file going in one direction. Right to left. I think all of your videos are amazing!
Alana Lazanik I am also a nail tech and I agree with the filing thing. I'm definitely going to try this just to see
I’m 50 years old, have filed back and forth for at least 40 years. I have beautiful natural nails even with filing back and forth. Due to medications have had to strengthen nails.
Exactly can cause damage to the matrix
Ok
every time i get my nails done they always file in one direction so thank you for this :)
Woot, 2 weeks since I applied my nails and they are still attached despite cleaning and doing dishes, etc. Thanks for the tips.
The comment i was looking for. Thank you
That's what so was wonder if the will last even with all the cleaning and cooking we do as mom of two messy and hungry boys😂
Just the comment I was looking for!! Getting ready to do a massive cleaning in my house and at my parents. Then we’re moving hopefully in the fall! So maybe I wait? I don’t want to!
jilloora Cleaning? Levi approves lol
Because of you I started wearing press on nails again. Cost me $2 including the glue instead of $45 for acrylic. Thank you so much!
Just thought I'd stop in to let you know I took your advice and you are right... your method works! I have never liked my nails, and I always thought fake nails would never last for my lifestyle. You have changed all that, I now love my nails and they fit with my lifestyle without falling off. Thank you so much, I am so pleased.
CertainlyCaroline Does anyone know if this nail glue damages the nail?
Lipstick- lemons it doesnt
Nail files make me feel nauseous, so instead I apply a very thin coat of glitter nail polish. I find it provides enough texture to allow the press ons to stick.
+Lithostoic that's a great tip!
VasseurBeauty Thank you! My nana told me about it!
omg! me too! makes me shudder!!!!!!!!!!!! dang I need to try this!
Omg so glad to come across this!
Great idea!!!!
Tried these out and I'm beyond impressed. I'm a swim instructor so I spend 6 hours straight in a pool every day. I've had these on since yesterday morning, and after 12 hours total in the pool, they're still strong and looking fab af😍😍😍

This is EXACTLY what I have been doing for three months now! So AMAZING and money saving!
XXOO
Great video girly.
Tip: if you don't want to scratch your nail apply corn starch and nail polished ( mixed together) and file that
BLESS
Nice
Please explain that idea more
Kim Tucker the cornstarch creates a barrier between your nail and the plastic so it won't damage your natural nail as much
Thank You! >.
Thank you. I've been using these for years, but you had 2 tips i haven't done and will be from now on. 💖
Ryan is definitely the star lol I'm always waiting for his scene.
Same😂
same here, lol!

Rhiannon Bennett WHATTTTTTTT
Rhiannon Bennett the that's exactly what I was doing
Rhiannon B. thank u I will u too
Rhiannon B. I I I
Your thriftiness is so inspiring. Love your videos!!!!
another tip is that when gluing it down, hold it on a 95 degree angle to get all the air bubbles out so it lasts longer
Thanks for the video!! I also use glue on nails since I became allergic to gel and acrylic, my favorite is the Kiss Curve. The only thing I do different is I shape, paint, and decorate them ahead of time then store them until I want to use them.

I have tried many different nails, but the Kiss Curve remains my favorite. They are thin and fit the best, look the most natural. I have actually had nail techs compliment me on my nails, HA!!!
Have you tried the nail glue from the dollar tree? I swear it is the best super glue ever! I use it for everything.
U us super glue or the nail glue from there???
What is the name of it

Me too!
You learn. i have had them 6 months straight (changing them every month) so i had to learn how to do everything again lol

Omg!!! Your hubby its so funny and you are the cutest girl ever 💕💕💋
True
+aliss P. P. aw thank you. He reads these comments so i'm sure he'll be pleased to see this haha

+Marriage & Motherhood yes girl these stay on no matter what I do....and I do a lot of cleaning/laundry and I don't typically wear gloves :)
Yes, i have used for years
Yesssssss
I do this too, but with the stiletto shaped Kiss nails! I usually get about 7 days out of mine, but I've never tried sanding my natural nail first. You're so smart. I'm going to try that.
cool! hahah your hubby is so funny. You guys are so cute!
They are goals

Have your nails become weak? That's my only concern

I tried numerous things to fill in the 'gap', but to no avail. The only thing that did slightly 'fill' it in somewhat was to dab some glitter polish in the crack, wiping it up slightly to make a designer look. It helped for a little while. :/
I always love the end of your video. Your husband is so funny!!!
I agree with that
I'm totally going to try this because my nails are really short and I've been checking the comments and most of them said this is a good method I'll update for when I put them on if they really last for more than three weeks👌🏻
I can say that "static nails" are the best fake nails EVER. Yes, if you order a pair, it's not so cheap. But it's worth it, why? Because you can re-use them over and over and over again, they last for 3 weeks or even more, you can reshape them, shorten, etc. I strongly recommend static nails.
And they look gorgeous...
OMGG!! I didn't think it would work but u did what u said and they lasted for about 5 weeks 😘😘 THANK YOUU
if fairies were a real thing you'd be One of em :)
Awe...
Thanks
Thank you :)))
+Awesome Kidds they weren't talking to you lol
I know I I was being funny and...
THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PUT FAKE NAILS !!!!!!!! I LOVE IT -THANK YOU VASSEUR !!!!!!!
Hi! I'm a new subscriber from Italy, I was wondering how you remove your fake nails off, thanks!!
This is the best video I have seen on applying press on nails. Thank you.
I just did this :) with the same colours & everything. It really worked and my nails look great. Thanks so much for the tip! I couldn't find oval so I did square instead. Looks awesome. Tell your hubby if he does his nails like this for a week you'll give him a "cut" of the business lol 💅🏻😏
+AmeliaOrchid hahah love that idea!!
Im excited to see you DIY for hair. I am a blonde... IT IS SO EXPENSIVE! I am trying to cut back my costs as well. I love these DIY videos! Can't wait to see the hair one.
I LOVE your videos so much! 😭
+Jackie Thomaz thanks beautiful!!
Thank you for uploading a beauty DIY that is so awesome, inexpensive, and practical for everyday people. A lot of other beauty/lifestyle vloggers post things that don't have a practical application and are just trying to push a sponsored product. (Not anything wrong with sponsorship, as long as the method actually works) I can't wait to try this when my nails I ordered come in!!
+aimyah88 thank you!! Let me know how you like them!!
I have a confession to make. I did fast forward to the end of the video to see Ryan in action because I don't like false nails on myself. I wear contact lenses so they need to be short & just prefer my own nails in general too! hahah Ryan may have to charge some royalties after all.
I know you said you don't have to but my all time FAVORITE top coat is Seche Vite. No chips, no dents, etc. it's fantastic.
I love seche vite to death I buy the huge refill bottle cos I go through so much it's actually more cost effective to buy the 120 ml bottle because you also get a full 15 ml bottle with it
+RACHEL KERR 😱 I didn't even know that existed! I go through it like crazy too so thanks for the tip! 👍
+Reena Lathrop ur welcome love I buy mine on Amazon for £18 that's in the uk I'm sure it won't cost much more where ur situated xx
Hi Brittany, now that your expecting a baby, are you still wearing these nails, I was just wondering because of the glue. They really do look great on.
+Norma McGee I didn't do anything to my nails the first trimester but I wear then now, doctor said it was safe :)
This has worked so well! Thank you! I always had problems with press on nails popping off and this completely fixed it!!
I've been doing this for years as I became allergic to acrylic. I can usually get them to stay on for a month. even through nail polish changes.
what glue do you use?
Kiss pink gel glue
+Jen Evans Do you buy a new bottle every time you change nails like she mentioned?
No I don't.
Just curious, I'm allergic to acrylic and some gel and gel polishes as well. I noticed that the nail glue has similar ingredients to some of the gel polishes I can't use. Have you had issues with any glues with allergies? Thx
Thank you! The people that do nails at salon, some have no feelings. They rip the acrylics off your real nail & seem to have no emotions while your in pain! Not going back!. Great idea. Gonna try this, for sure.
should have chosen a different shade of 'background' (table or whatever you put your hands on)
Why?
+flσwєr вαє because the colour is very similar with her nails and it is hard to see
+Diana D I agree
just thinking that when I saw this.
Great tips.. I always avoided putting fake nails on because of that same reason, they don't last. I will try this method. Thanks girl! 😊
What's your process for taking them off when it's time to put a new set on?
Just put mine on and they lol great! They are a little long for my liking, so I filed them down a bit. I wish I was able to keep more or the shape though. The paint went on so easily! It took about an hour. Probably because it was my first time doing it. I think I'm obsessed!
You look like the white mariah Carrey lol
Righttt
omg yesss
+harryskittyz yess
kinda but not really
omg it's true
OMG she gave me so much amazing tips that I LOVE! So now I know cause every time I would always put my nails with out what she did like not getting them wet cause every time I would clean them and then press on them for 30 sec. I would just put them and move on! Like for 5 sec then next nail! They did last longer for almost two week! That's amazing! So now I did save time and saved my money! OMG THANK YOU!!!
No shade to you or Beyonce but this is why I fucks with my Becky's with the good hair yall....omg yall have the best money saving tips honey!!!....lol....thank you and please don't take my corny joke the wrong way its shade free.....#trolldisclaimer
+Tiama Johnson hahah this made me laugh out loud
VasseurBeauty good boo thanks for not taking it to heart xoxo lol
lol
Tiama Johnson was ngjgmgm
I love the colour you painted your nails it's so pretty 💜
Same it's my favorite color! 😍
That Was great!! Ryan is an amazing actor!!! 😁
Wow! These look so natural!!💅🏼
She just gave us the exact instructions that are on the back of the box, lol.
Shows that people don't read instructions ^-^
So i have been using those nail before watching this and then i used the tips in this video and seriously lasted longer then another way :D thank you soooo much manly because i love the shape and being able to do what i want with them!!!
how do you make sure to avoid air bubbles? do you just add extra glue? I noticed I have flatter nails then the artificial nail beds and I get bubbles.
You need to apply from the cuticle and rock the nail slowly towards the tip.
Hold just buy the cuticle for a good 30 seconds then very slowly tilt the cake nail down towards the free edge of the natural nail.
If you are still getting air bubbles try a half drop more glue.
Use an orange stick to quickly remove excess glue from under the tip of your real nails if it overflows.
I used to do my own nails just like this all the time. Now I can never find the time, but also I'm in love with gel nail polish. I've been wanting to try the powder gel nail polish, it's pricey but looks so easy and fast.

Her: Today
My mind: TODAY I don't feel like doing anything!
BiBi Rainbows In The Sky I just wanna lay in my bedddd
Your tutorials are relevant, empowering and inspiring. I want to learn all your ways!!
Sadly, I've used these exact steps.. mine never last Bc my lifestyle! Lol i constantly clean clean clean!! My two kids keep me going!
the same here lol
ikram Elhajjami I thought I was the only one that has this problem. When I do mine I usually do two sets just for when they start popping off
Same 😭😭😭
I ordered all your suggestions and followed your steps to my surprise my nails stayed on for 29 days. Thank you for the rad tips!
MINE ALWAYS POP OFF SO I JUST WENT AND BOUGHT THE KISS NAILS I HOPE THEESE LAST FOR ME AS WELL
+SimplyJaylen wherew did u buy them
+Lorinda Potts Walgreens ! :)
+SimplyJaylen did they last???
+Taylor Eslick they have been on for three days so far which is better than usual but I really like the kiss nails you just need good glue and I think keeping your nails dry is key ! :)
SimplyJaylen I don't need fake nails, all naturel, but how long did they stay on? that's cool that they did for that amount of time.
I have been using fake nails for couple years now and the only issue i normally have is that they come off really easy or like you said flip off. I normally try to protect my real nail which is why i don't make them rough but that tip might just be the key!
Thanks a lot and I love watching your videos :)
+VasseurBeauty I LOVE YOU!!!!! YOU ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE RUclipsRS!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!
I never realized you’re not supposed to get them wet for a few hours!! No other videos mentioned it 😭 I did every other step correctly but my nails almost always pop off after a day or two and now I’m realizing it MUST be because I never kept them dry. Thank you so much!!
for everyone saying don't buff your nails they are worst at the nail shop so not making any sense
This works! She says to put a lot of glue, but be careful. I used the kind she did, it didn't take much for it to drip out and stick to my fingers together. Other than that worked perfectly!
Did anyone like this video before it started?
meeee
+secretmermaid me too :-)
meeeee
+secretmermaid aw thanks you guys are the best!
your welcome
You are so pretty you look like a celebrity. Your nails look so good they do not look artificial. I'm getting these tomorrow I hope I don't mess these up.
what store could I buy these nails in? im not old enough to online shop :)
Walmart, Walgreens, Sally's beauty. Basically any beauty shop or retailer just look either in the nail section or cosmetic section!! Hope this helps!! :)
+Riana Bratton yes it did thank-you. :)
Qüèèn Räïä also family Dollar has a set of 80 for a dollar. Definitely cheapest I've seen.
No Matter what I do I can never have them longer than like 4 days if im lucky and I don't do much activity besides typing and working out and other daily things. it frustrates me that I can't make it last for a week or even 2 weeks which would be amazing! ❤️. I think I need to have the glue closer to cuticle little bit and hold it down 30 seconds instead of 5 seconds Ill absolutely try that! also this is the best video iv ever seen because the instructions are so much more specific than the others I have seen in my opinion.
Is it hard to remove them? Is there any glue residue left after removal? Looks great! Thanks for this!
Vicki
+dizzyk54 Not at all, just make sure to soak your nails well in nail varnish remover and they should pop right off.
+DaintyGoblin Thanks!
+dizzyk54 there is some glue residue, but it is easy to file off and it docent last for more than 2 days.
I have used these, and if you don't soak them and there's glue after removal, you can file it off, or use acetone to remove :D
+OhBabyItsMooshi did they really last this long ?
Use rubbing alcohol to dehydrate and clean the nail bed before glue and application. This will help your nails adhere even better 💗
awesome tips but i would NOT file my nail bed b/c that makes your nails thinner so i wouldn't reccomend that!! xx
so prettty !!! I've always been intimidated by the idea of fake nails but this video makes me want to try them!
