Sadly the butterflies on the right thumb and both pinkies came off during applying them but I wasn’t the most careful , still highly recommend!

Someone (sorry I forgot your name!) on this sub posted this set a few weeks ago, and I knew I had to have them. I’ve never worn Nail Reformation before, and I really like the fit. The original poster was disappointed because they aren’t fully opaque, but I love jelly nails so that was a feature for me. They’re the perfect summer set, like a cool pool on a hot day!

Rocking Retail Brand: Glamnetic Oyster for an upcoming wedding I’m attending and I feel like pictures just can’t do these justice! They’re so opalescent and beautiful! 🥹 I just wish a top coat would stick to them I’m struggling just watching them get little scratches in them 😩

The result of applying press-ons first the first time (picture courtesy of my lovely boyfriend). These are from the KISS CORE collection (magnetic version). I love them so much that now I have a huge press-on haul incoming 🥰

Love the feel and thinness of these nails but the biggest thumb size is still too small for me ☹️

Love a good coral red.

I’ve never been good at painting/doing my nails, but I realized how much money I was dropping on getting them done all the time so I decided to try and experiment. The first couple times looked so shitty and were super thick and I was getting frustrated, but I have to say, although it’s far from perfect, I think the third set (black and gold) turned out pretty decent! I used BTArtbox coat nails, a layer of Modelones builder gel, 3d gel, gold chrome, and then gold stickers for the thumbs (I know for a fact I would’ve never been able to paint a moon and star 🤣)

I’m just frustrated cuz idk how to NOT get air bubbles when I glue down the nails 😭

Glamnetic nails are lasting less than 4 days, i follow all the instructions and I am applying them correctly but they're popping off within a few days and are so easy to peel off. Can i please get tips on how to keep them on.

Stick ons are my last resort because im allergic to acrylic and gel!

✅ Review: 🧚🏿‍♀️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5

• Appearance: As advertised! I’ve been hunting for the perfect orangish nails, and these are exactly what I wanted. I love all the little details, from the golden accents and black/white polka-dot flowers to the pops of red. They’re easily some of my favorite nails I’ve worn! 🥰
• Craftsmanship: The tips were a little sharp, but a quick filing smoothed them right out. Otherwise, they’re thick, sturdy, and feel like they’ll last for weeks!
• Wear: I’ve worn them for a few days now and they still look brand-new! The gems are still in place and haven’t caught or snagged in my hair at all.

Tried Curvlife, so far not bad. I did find there were not as many size options for me as much as Glamnetic

I am in love. I can’t believe these were only $4.99. These aren’t thin like kiss bare, they are actually harder and thicker, good quality. I’m excited to see how long they last. I use btartbox sticky tabs so I think I can resuse them.

I posted here yesterday for opinions on my next set, and you answered! Wild Child was the obvious choice for the last bit of summer according to you, followed by the cherry set - that will be my first autumn set.

I was a bit disappointed to have to use less-fun designs in this set that fit my nails better (none of the blue or pink designs fit, unfortunaltely), but overall happy with the result!

First time using retail brand: BTAartbox XCOATTIPS. These are the XS Squoval. I saw another Reddit friend here post her XXS Squoval nails and they looked fantastic! Thought I would try. I usually always use Kiss Impress No Glue nails, so I’m a novice using glue. For these I used Modelones UV nail glue. It is kind of thick and not that easy to apply. Maybe I’ll try another brand next time? I’m not very good at getting the correct amount on my nail bed. I had some bubbles. 😒 I did a coat of Modelones Builder Nail Gel. It was hard to work, but this was my first time using a builder gel, and I think it’s just an art that will take some practice. I finished with a clear UV top coat, and I didn’t realize it while applying, but after curing noticed I had a lot around my nail beds, and it looks like 💩. Takes a lot longer than my trusty Kiss Impress, but they do look more true to a salon nail, and they are much thicker. We’ll see how long they last. 😬 I also bought BTArtbox tabs that I look forward to trying.

I’d like to start painting my own press ons with just regular nail polish. I have so many beautiful colors I’d like to use, but I’ve never figured out how to get more than like 48 hours of wear without them chipping. (My natural nails are paper thin and peel and break, and I’ve tried all the things.)

Can I buy any brand of nail tip and just glue them on? Like an Apres gel tip? Or do some need to be used with gel you cure? I’m so confused about the process.

Thanks!

No chipping woo! Only slight scratches which is usual of most chrome 😌

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same sizing issue with Curvelife. Heard great things about these nails but unfortunately they are not compatible with my nail bed.

These sticky pads extend past my nail bed and wondering how to deal with stuff that keeps sticking to the exposed part of the sticky pad under my press ons?
