I’ve been wanting to make my own press ons (personal use) for ages and this vid was so helpful! It would be awesome if you could do a vid or list with the products and tools you use, even if you put a paywall behind it (with patreon or something), I would really find it useful :) ty!!
This is really inspiring!!! My family has been going through some tough times and I might have to withdraw from uni and it’s my last year so it’s really painful to think about but I’m determined to use the time from school to start my own business after eyeing the nail industry for years now. Wish me luck!!

The title doesn't describe how perfect this story is
Bruhhh this is incredible!! Press ons are so much easier for me than trying to paint a creative design on my non dominant hand 😅 I finally made some applied them with what I thought was careful execution; but they were popping off after 4 days! I would love your insights on how you best keep ur babies on 💅🏼🙏🏼

Where do you buy the clear press on nails. They look harder than the one you get on aliexpress

Love your set up! Do you add any builder gel to the nails or is the Korean gels you use thick enough to add strength to your press on nails?
this is so helpful! i was wondering though if using gel x tips is any different to using other tips in the application and removal process?
Thank you for your amazing video, I have a question about what did you use for sticker the nail to the stand? Have a wonderful day and year.
Im so excited for your next video! What do you recommend as the first step in creating your press on nail business? I have been looking to start one but have felt so overwhelmed with where to begin because I feel like there's so much to do. I don't mind doing the work and understand it will be a lot of time and responsibility. Im so happy I found your video through Tik Tok. This video was very helpful.

so glad it was helpful! going to hopefully cover all these questions in upcoming videos. First step I would say practice your art/ nails, and start sharing your work (even before you are ready to launch…it takes a while to grow an audience/ following/ build trust w customers!) 💜
I have no plans to do this myself, but thoroughly enjoyed this vid. When will u be restocking??!
Love the video! Quick question! How do you put the nails on your finger? Glue?
Have you heard of the quarter method for sizing? Where your client takes a photo of their nails with a quarter in the frame, you then match a quarter to size perfectly against the photo and can then size the nails over the photo. What do you know/think about this as a sizing tool?

I have hear, but never tried, so unfortunately can’t make the call.
Absolutely gorgeous. Would you ever consider making a product list? I have no clue where to get those pre cut double stick tape not the design size of the cards for mounting the nails. Thank you for any response 🙏

I love your work so much, thanks for the amazing content! How do you keep track of your orders? Once packaged I see you store them away but how do you keep track of which nails go to who?
I know what I'm getting my mom for Christmas this year.
Love the video. I literally just stared doing press on for me but i my nail seem to be shrinking in size. Do you have any tips on how to avoid this or why it even happens?
What do you suggest we do in order to be able to wear our press ons without them popping off but also able to be removed without damage? Also if anyone wants to practice making press ons but doesnt have to budget for all the fancy stuff, I recommend Miss A/AOA Studio press on nails. They arent the best but they are fairly sturdy for a dollar per set. You will definitely have leftovers but I just use them to test and practice out designs :D
how did u deal with the bubble after u saw it though??
For painting do you use the gel polish or it’s a special nail paint ?

What do you use to keep the nail pressed on the magnets? Is it double sticky tape?

What lamp do you recommend? I've heard the press ons are difficult with lamp sensors.
3:31 what did u use to prep and to remove shine, not asking about buffer.
This is an old video, so idk if you will see this comment, but can you please make a video on how to apply the press on nails so they actually stay on and not pop off. Then, how to remove them in a way you can reuse the nails if possible.
Thanks alot!

Thank u for this video 🖤😊 What product you can use to stick the press on?? I buy one sticker pack but they don't work well 😢
Hi You do a wonderful job ❤ I have a question for you. It seems that I am not able to purchase that prep, apres 3, in ontario, what else would you suggest? Only dehydrator and primer 😢 Thank you very much, and I am looking forward to hearing from you! 😊 Oh and one more thing, as someone just starting out, how would I know what package of nails to purchase for the proper sizing for clients? I see small, medium and large bit are they still numbered like the tips are? Again, thank you for you expertise!!!❤
What do you use to stick the nails to those bases where you paint them on?
What did she use to pick up the nails when she was packaging it
Hi!!! Very helpful!!! Thank you 😊 however could you please explain why you painted the tips pink first only to cover them with black and then chrome??

Hi! I would like to know how you glue the tip to the base? I use rubber but removing it when removing the tips slows me down and it sticks to my gloves.
Can i use a regular nail polish and just use a gel top coat on the top? does it works?
I am a nail technician, and I see that this technique is going well, I tried to do it but the color that is applied after the base on top of the gel tip comes off from the tip over time, any advice?
What do you use to hold the nails on the nail holder thing ?
Hi 👋 am a fan and I will be starting my press on business really soon and I wanted to ask how many nail polish did you start with?
Hi Mini Ami! What a super educational video! I'm just new to the nail industry and I also want to start making press on nails. May i ask where you got your nails from? I can't find good nails anywhere… Looking forward to your next video!🫶🏻

Hi, thank you so much for all the details, very generous from you❤ i like to know hoy you avoid air bubbles under the tip? When we do soft gel the indication is to avoid air under the tip in order to prevent any fongus . How do you now there is no air? Love your work! Cheers from chile

such a good question - water will only be able to enter if there are bubbles or lifting around the edges. If there is an air bubble in the middle it will likely affect the longevity of the press on but until the edges lift (which is visibly noticeable) you don't really have to worry too much about it. Going to make an application video though to talk about avoiving air bubbles getting long lasting press ons x
How do we then paste this? In the nails? Which glue is the most long lasting?
What do you use to clean the nail polish off the inside of the nail
Very nice video
Are the tips in the nail sizing kit also apres or something else?
Love this. But I didn’t see the nails u are using on the links , am I not clicking the right places ? I wanna try to make my own :) hehe
How to stick them what should we provide to a customer to stick press on nails
I aspire to do this! I’ve always loved painting my nails and nail art in general. I want to practice on myself until one day I am able to create a small at home business where I can sell press on nails
Does the amount of polish you put on them make the nails slightly smaller?
Hello what did you use to stick the nail to the stand?
But what you use to actually glue them onto your nails? Not gel glue right? Like a weaker nail glue? To be able to pop them off and on?
Do you get your designs online or you just freehand? These are so beautiful
nice
How do you get the press ons to look less bulky? No matter how thin I make the layers, it just looks like a bubble mess
I do have a question Are these acrylic nails with gel paint or are they gel nails?
Which is your website? And how did you build it? Or what channels do u use for commerce? And thank u. I love ur video
I personally want to try this method because it will allow me stick the nails under the uv light longer without having my fingers/skin affected. Ive realized that the gel i use has been taking FOREVER to curebunder the lamp 😢
Hi I love your nails but I was wondering why did you put the pink underneath the black if your not gonna see it
Onde encontrar a embalagem pra entrega e como as clientes colam ?
Do you have a workshop on how to start? Thank you so much!!! I’m so excited to see bts army here!!! Yay
Do you know if there is a dupe for the acid free tip primer? I tried purchasing it but it doesnt ship to my address😢
this is soooo helpful thank you a lot! as someone who loves managing tidying things up i love how organised this is! i was wondering, as someone who wants to start START a press-on nails business while having little budget, do you have any suggestions on how to choose colours as my starting kit? like i dont have the budget to buy every single colours i want 😂 do i have to buy primary colours and work my way up there by mixing some of them to get the colour i want, or is it better to just follow what my niche is and buy accordingly? (and even so, what colours i should buy? should i have to have black and white gel as my option or what 😂 the constrains are overwhelming) sorry i ask too much but i would appreciate a lottt if you take your time to answer this

ouuuu I love this question! Maybe I’ll make a whole other video about this…in the meantime my “10 products to start a press on nail shop” is a great place to start!
What is the first gel u used on the nail ? 3:05
What kind of sticky tabs do you use?
Hi ! I really like your iPad case, where did you get it :0
I have a question....how do you get the bubbles out? With a toothpick?
3:14 what's the gel you're using ?
What kind of glue do you use? Every time I use press on’s they end up coming off almost instantly
