POV: You’re tired of your press-on nails popping off after 2 days.

My press-on nails ALWAYS last me up to 2 weeks sometimes longer, and this is exactly how I do it! I broke down all the steps because prep really makes all the difference. If your press-on nails keep popping off, one of these steps might be the game changer! 💛 . . . . #lemon8challenge #p
