Press On Nails Short - BTArtbox Almond Press On Nails, Opaque Reusable Stick On Nails, Fake Nail with Nail Glue in 16 Sizes - 30 Nail Kit, Falling Star Cat Eye

The media could not be loaded. Bought the color FALLING STAR CAT EYE and added photo/video as it’s hard to tell what the color really looks like. 💜🩶🦄💿 It is definitely more mauve/silvery pale purple than the pink shown in the 1st photo. They look exactly like the product flatlay photos.💭 OVERALL RATINGS:- Quality: 10/10, looks professional- Ease: 9/10, easy but possible to F up (tips below)- Kit: 10/10, love the sizes and tools, but I used diff glue- Price: 9/10, WAY cheaper than professional acrylics or gels, can’t compare to other false sets- Longevity: ?/10, feels sturdy but will update- Health: ?/10, hopefully less damaging than gel, will updateThis is the first time I’ve used press on nail tips. I prefer to do my own nails, but needed something both sturdy and stunning for an upcoming event, and gel destroys my nails. So far, so good (mostly):✅ TIPS:- NON-GEL APPLICATION ❌ Why do so many tutorials include gel for falsie application?! Here’s what i did WITHOUT GEL: File your nail surface, dehydrate with included wipe, place tab, spread glue over the sticky tab/your nail, and spread glue on the falsie itself. Press together hard 60sec.- FILE THE FALSIES!! ✂️ Choose the nail size that best fits/covers your nail. But FILE THE FALSE NAIL TO FIT!!! I didn’t file on my left hand as the fit seemed good enough, and my thumb in particular hurts a bit where the corner is digging into my nail bed. 🥴 The base of these is square so if you have round nail beds, don’t make my mistake. I filed the nail bed of the falsies for my thumb and 1st finger on my right hand and they are totally comfortable.- ALIGN THE NAILS!! 📐 Y’all, I glued one on crooked 😭 I realized immediately, but it was already stuck down. When you start placing the nail down at a 45 degree angle, hold your hand out and gauge if it’s crooked, then adjust the angle slightly before pressing firmly. (If you glue one crooked, file to make it less obvious)- BEWARE THE GLUE!! ☠️ I used an external brand. This s#%+ is like super glue. I’m serious. I got a tiny bit on my finger as I was pressing down, and it got on the nail itself, leaving a dry patch i could not 100% remove. Also, if you get it on your skin, get your skin away from the nail IMMEDIATELY before it dries.- DO NOT PRESS TOO FAR IN! ✋🏼 On my right hand, I was more conservative with how much I pressed the nails down into my nail bed. They don’t feel like they’re digging in and are way more comfy. Still press them very hard, just don’t shove them into your cuticles.- TOP COAT!!! 🫧 I noticed the layers of the false nails separating slightly when I filed them. I used my normal clear coat overtop and over the tip of the nail to seal everything together, and cover up the little glue scuff on one nail. 100% recommend.‼️ OVERALL RECOMMENDATION:- If you are a nail girlie, I think these will change your life lol. 20$ for a manicure that looks professional and holds up is a steal. 💸- Howeverrrrr…. I don’t typically get my nails done. My nails grow fast and are strong, so I bought these purely for the look. This medium length is the longest I’m comfortable going, and suit a special event more than my everyday life. 💅🏽- For me, I cannot say whether I will do this process again until I see how much of a b%^% the removal is (will update 🫡 ) Honestly, I suspect damage because I’m not kidding when I say the nail glue I used smelled and looked exactly like super glue. I have no idea how I’ll get it off. Im scared 😭🤣 I’ll try again with just this brand kit to compare glues. If these don’t damage my nails, I will 100% use for special events in the future. 💓💃🏻

I have been trying to keep my peel- and break-prone nails intact for an upcoming manicure for a special occasion. Having trouble with them unprotected, I looked to press ons to provide a shield. I applied two coats of nail protein and one coat of nail hardening top coat prior to application of these nails.Holy moly! Gone are the weak adhesive stickers of the 80s! Say hello to a strong, jelly-like adhesive sticker that applies easily and held my nails on for days. I only removed them, not because they were falling off, but because it was time to clean them for hygiene purposes. These nails lasted through showers, housework, typing, everything.The nails look great. Fairly natural, comfortable. Plenty of sizes to choose from. Super easy application and simple to trim to length, even when they're already adhered to the nail. Removal was a breeze, too. The adhesive comes off easily after soaking in just water for a bit. Use an orange stick to push it off gently if needed. The press ons can be cleaned with a bit of a soak in warm water and a gentle soap, then use an orange stick to remove any lingering adhesive.My natural nails underneath looked awesome. Totally free from damage and growing healthily. I would recommend some kind of barrier between your natural nail and the adhesive tab, as I did with the coats of polish. I think this was really key to protecting my nails from damage.I just reapplied my nails and am eager to continue to see beautiful and protective results!

I absolutely LOVE these nails! They are of excellent quality, and the short length is the perfect length for me! The larger sizes fit my larger nails, especially my ginormous thumbs, perfectly! I have issues with growing my natural nails, and although I don't use fake nails as often as I used to (going to the salon), in order to allow my natural nails beds to breathe to keep them healthy, I needed attractive nails for a temporary basis to model my hand crafted jewelry for posting photos and videos in my Etsy shop! They photographed very well with an awesome twist of interest, and I'm hooked on these nails to use on a temporary basis for more jewelry modeling in the future!!! Thank you so very much! 🥰I personally had better luck with the press on tabs, simply because of my shaky hands, (I'm no spring chicken 😂) especially my non dominant left hand. (Sigh) Hard as I tried, I still wound up with bubbles in the glue on some right hand nails.🤦 But as they popped off, I filed the under side of the nail itself (I have a miniature file set used for metal that has a couple perfectly shaped files for the rounded underside of the nails) and I gently filed the nail beds, with the included file, to smooth out any dried glue ridges on both surfaces, and I then used the press on tabs which are a great alternative solution! To my surprise, they really have "staying power". I kept the nails on for 10 days after using the tabs before I got tired of the hinderance of the modified hand usage for daily tasks that all fake nails create. Just my own personal quirk. 🤷 Really, I couldn't be more pleased with the look of these nails!! So unusual! They fit my personality perfectly!! 🥰🥰The reason for only four stars boils down to several things:1) I would really love to have the same really interesting style choices for the square short finger nails that you offer for the medium and long almond and coffin shaped nails.2) I would like to see a second full set of backups for the largest and middle-ish sizes. They fit well, but I'm a bigger girl with nail beds on the bigger side. 🤷 It seemed as though each size had only three matches, and with nails like these that have a design that is asymmetrical, an entire set of backups for both sides in each nail size really is necessary to match the preferred design side of entire hand set, which is my personal preference, for the price. 🙂3) I would like to see the nails numbered to be sure I have the right matches for each hand.4) A larger selection of the mid/larger nails bed sizes would be greatly appreciated.5) A bit larger thumb size press on tabs would be greatly appreciated. I had to double up to reach closer to the nail bed sides on my thumbs, which I think made them feel unstable, although they stayed in place.6) More press on tabs for each size would also be greatly appreciated.Overall these nails are an awesome product for the price! They're strong and beautiful! You won't be disappointed! Thank you BARTBox!! 💖💖💖
