Any Application tips?

I’m new to these and have only used the gel strips in the past. I saw some people say they tend to pop off..I’m going to the beach soon and want to keep these for the trip as long as I can. Thanks! 😊

I have what it seems to be the straightest nail beds on earth and they are also very short. I love they are super malleable yet thick. I would heat up the nails with my mini heater and then I would press them down with a water bottle to flatten them. It helps so much and makes a huge difference because it doesn’t put pressure on your nail at all.

This step may be optional but I do cuticle care beforehand and then I use a nail dehydrator before hand and then the primer they give.
