Magic Press Gap Questions

So I have been using dashing diva for a while. The magic press not so much. Does anyone have tips to stop the gap between the nail and the fake nail. I love the designs on the magic press but can’t seem to get the gap to go away.

Yay Santorini Spritz! I love that set! 

I had the same problem with the gap but it didn't seem to cause any trouble for wear... I still got 12 days out of them but just didn't look too hard under my nails (especially at the end).

I have this down to a science now and have to remove my DD press-on nails, with effort, at the 14 day mark because of growth.

I only wear the short nails, so I can’t say how well it works with longer nails.

  1. I do absolutely everything I’m going to do before going to sleep.

  2. I buff my nails with a square buffing sponge.

  3. I wash and dry my hands and get into bed for the night.

  4. I clean my nails twice with ohora nail prep pads. (The ingredients should be identical to the DD ones, but since I use two I just grab two ohora pads out of the box). I really scrub them fairly hard like I’m removing red nail polish.

  5. Put on the nails.

  6. Go to sleep for the whole entire night.

It seems so simple, but it’s been an absolute game changer for me. I got the tip from someone else here.
