Why did we Hate These Again??

Would you believe these are press on nails? They’re gel press ons that I snagged while looking for good jelly polish online. I’m honestly shocked how good they look on me bc usually they don’t look that good when I apply them, even with the extra dressing up I like to do.

These ones were very easy to use, fit comfortably without gaps (I got a medium pink coffin white French tip), and the pink part actually looks pretty natural compared to my own nails ☺️.

Needless to say, I’m *so* happy with how these turned out! But it got me wondering: why did we hate these in the early 2000s? I was super little at the time, so I don’t remember the rationale. Heck, I don’t even remember which type was available then 😅.

I’m just glad we’ve come to our senses now LMAO listen, I’m in a place that has ONE ☝🏾 nail place and they don’t do ANY of what I want done. I also don’t always have time for the sets I like doing on myself so I love being able to put something on that is simple n durable in function, but also effortlessly elegant in form.

Yes I tagged them in the 4th picture, yes there’s a coupon rn, go try them out!
