$2.99 press-ons

Got these press-ons from Ollie’s which is similar to dollar general/family dollar in the Texas area. I’m still practicing with my press-ons so I know they are not perfect but it’s a start. I ordered a different glue that I’m hoping is better quality. I’ve used a UV gel glue in the past that worked okay unless the nails had gems or anything on them.

Prep, prep, prep!! That’s the most important part

I’m on a journey to improve my financial life so yall will be seeing a lot more press-ons moving forward 🥳
