You can file down the press on nail on the cuticle edge before application to make it fit better. If it’s too big, you will experience lifting and hair snagging.
Love this experiment. I don't really do press on nails. I think it's better to paint them. Your nails are in such good condition. Looking forward to your next vid.
When applying the press on nails, do not start with your thumbs. Start with your pinky finger and apply to your thumbs last! Additionally bluff the inside of the press on nails to extend wear. Finally the press on nails can be filed on the sides to match your nails better. Good job. I love the shade on you.
Great demonstration, thank you. I was curious about the OPI glue on. They seem a bit too fussy to me. I think I'll stay with the polish, at least it lasts 2+ weeks without damage to nail beds.
Terrible removal. Either wrap with cotton wool, foil and a PURE acetone - can use a little oil or even Vaseline around your nails before you wrap to mitigate the drying. Leave for at least 15 mins. Do not try to prise nails off. Re-wrap as necessary. Or get a small cereal bowl, half fill with uncooked rice, heat in microwave for about 40 seconds. Fill a small Ziploc bag with about an inch of pure acetone, oil/Vaseline your cuticles. Pop your hand in the Ziploc bag with the acetone and then place your bagged hand in the rice which will retain the heat. Again, never, never, never attempt to prise nails off (and trust me I know how tempting it is). Patience is king.
Thanks for watching my full review with surprising results 😊
Great video Jen, just shows how much damage they can do xx
Thank you! Yes it was a bit of an eye opener 😬

Thank you for the tips! Good to know 👍🏻
A very informative video Jen, I definitely think I will stay with nail polish.
Thank you! I hope the video gives an open review for everyone 😊

Thank you, I thought the same in the end 😊

Non acetone remover does not even remove polish well. The press on nails do not stay on me that well. Your removal process will not save the nails.
