Making my press on nails

77 days ‘til “I do” 💍 so I’m practicing my nail set

Here’s how I made this cutesy set:

1. Pick your nail sizes

2. Apply base color

3. Add French tips

4. Decorate with pearls or charms

5. Seal with a top coat ✨

I use gel polish, so I cure after each step—but if you’re using regular polish, just let them air dry!

... Read moreCreating press-on nails can be a fun and rewarding DIY project, especially as you prepare for significant events like weddings. To achieve the best results, choosing the right sizes for your nails is crucial. This ensures a comfortable fit and a polished look. Consider using gel polish for a long-lasting finish; it cures under UV light, making it more durable compared to regular polish. When applying your base coat, remember to choose colors that will complement your wedding theme. French tips are a classic choice, providing a clean and elegant appearance. Adding decorative elements like pearls or charms can elevate the design and give it a personal touch. Be sure to seal your design with a high-quality top coat to enhance shine and longevity. If you're looking for inspiration, you can explore various styles on social media platforms, using hashtags like #pressonnails and #diynails. Remember to check out categorized DIY tutorials to learn about different techniques and designs. Popular nail products such as MODELONES also offer kits that simplify the process for beginners. Involving friends or family in this creative process can make it even more enjoyable as you prepare for your big day!

Making pressons so I can pretend Im a pro nailtech
I’ve been teaching myself how to do my own nails, but painting them on my actual hands? A disaster 😂 So I stick to making press-ons instead. I tried to get these as close to the original as possible 😅. And don’t even get me started on chrome… I swear it hates me. If anyone has tips, save me before

PRESS ON TOE NAILS (French tip)
I am obsessed!!! I bought this because I was tired of taking a while painting my toes. Recently bought these they do come in matte but I added gel top coat (bettles gel) and put them under a UV light and gives them a more natural look :) 10/10 I used regular nail glue (UNA GELLA NAIL GLUE)
