Spring!

I know these are pretty sloppy but as a beginner to doing my own nails and to press ons, I’m (mostly) very happy!

I’ve been trying to save $$ lately and also have been disappointed by various salons. Was hesitant to try press ons at first but saw a super cute Olivia and June cat eye set for $10 that got me curious. I was pleasantly surprised to have them last three weeks! I did have to do glue touchups here there, but considering they only cost $10 I thought I got really wear out of them. I think I’ve converted to a press on girly going forward 💅

I had it ingrained in my mind that press are cheap quality and look tacky. Realize now that mentality is so outdated bc products have come a long way! I love that there are so many choices and they are fairly easy to change if I get bored of one style. While these may not be salon quality-– I think they’re pretty good for being literally a fraction of shelling out $80-$100+ for the most basic color and significantly more if you want any kind of designs.

The ones I have here are Kiss. I used a very thin layer of builder gel to protect my nails, buffed the surface after curing, then applied nail glue with the press on. I finished it off with topcoat. I’ve gotten some compliments (which I hope were genuine 😅).
I’m curious to find out how long these will last.

I know my cuticles look awful and cut up – – I’m still learning 🤞🏽would love any helpful tips on how to improve my technique 🙏🏽
