This is so great!! I like sticker tabs because the nails still pop off quickly with glue and end up tearing up my nail and leaving glue behind. When I just the sticky tabs though my hair will get snagged on the edges and the whole nail kind of moves around. This is the perfect solution!

I’ve started doing my own nails and found this video. This method has worked fabulously for me! I’m 7 days in and press on nails are still solid!

How do you remove the nails though

Thanks girlll. I’ve only recently started using press ons. This technique seems full proof. The thing is, I’ve never worn them for any longer than a day because I can’t commit to having long nails all the time because of gym, etc. I’ve never gotten my nails done before besides a manicure. If these last and I can easily pop them off and re use them…… I’m sold. Cuz I love the way nails look but I can’t commit 😂

Great video. Thank you Much 💜

Hi newbie here I just rang your bell 🛎️ was that power you used with the tabs ? 👍❤️🎄

Please share the hydrator info and where to purchase.

Sorry, I'm confused. Did you not take the top of the stick tab off? I saw you stick it to your natural nail, then use the tweezers to push it down, so obviously, the top layer hadn't been taken off yet; otherwise, it would have been sticky. But then you went straight into the glue and actual pressing-on portion. Did I just miss where you took the top tabs off?

This makes Me want to try press one, I am rough on my hands at work, but I could try them out at home on my days off first, as a trial run, mmmmm!!!!

Thank You Carol for another great video. Question, could you use the method of sticky tabs + glue to apply the press on over the top of builder gel or dip powder nails? If so, would I need to put anything down first, or just go straight into sticky tab? Do the sticky tabs like a rough surface or smooth? Lastly, would you be able to remove the tip and have it separate from the builder gel or dip cleanly? Perhaps you have a video already on this you could direct me towards. TIA

I think you could. My only worry is that the sticky tabs don’t stick well to shiny surfaces, so you’d have to make sure your builder gel layer isn’t shiny. I think you could remove the tip/separate easily as long as you don’t soak it off in acetone. Do a soapy water mixture soak.

I feel like I followed this tutorial closely, but for some reason, If I look underneath the nail from the top, there is just a huge gap between my natural nail and the tip. It feels like the tip of secured on the side walls, but I can definitely feel that it’s not attached in the center. I guess, if I were attaching them with gel, the gap would be filled. But, I chose sticky tabs because they seem to be less damaging and a quicker removal. Do you have any tips?

@CaroleAnnette

Жыл бұрын

That happens to me too on one of my nails (index finger). My index finger is more flat than the arch of the tip, so it doesn’t fill that void. My best tip is to use nail glue on that area where there’s the gap. If you have a brush on nail glue, it’ll be easier to slide the glue in there to fill the gap.
