Hi, I'm Alexandra. I believe life can be both glorious, tricky and even painful.. which we all know. Beauty is a practice I have enjoyed from early childhood as a way to build my confidence in myself. Not just on "special" occasions, but in my every day life and decision making. On my YouTube channel I show you practical steps and psychology to understand and apply methods in all areas of beauty; inclding fashion, makeup, hairstyling and femininity, to help us evolve and transform into our personal visions. I believe when a girl feels good about herself, she can make better choices for herself in ALL areas of life. Welcome to my channel, I'm glad you found me.

Also, another little thing for most people to know is that it's not always the case that both hands will require the same sizes. I know a lot of people who have hands with different sized middle fingers and thumbs and such. Best thing to do is take a clear piece of tape and put it across the widest part of your nail. Then, for each finger, mark the edges of your nails on the tape with a sharpie. After you've done that you can lay them all out in order and use a measuring tape to truly find your ten sizes. I hope this helps! I love me some press on nails! The sets I get from Etsy look like I paid hundreds when in reality it's a small fraction of that! 💖

Alcohol only last 10 minutes for dehydration, so if it takes you longer than 10 minutes to get the nail on your finger, you’ll need to prep the nail again with an alcohol wipe. You also should NEVER buff across the nail. Only buff going down with the grain of how your nail grows out. You will destroy your nails, especially if you have naturally thin nails or damaged nails. She also didn’t talk about how you need to prep the nail before putting them on, or you’ll end up with lifting. You need to push back your cuticles and remove any dead skin from the nail. You also don’t want to size down, if you can’t find the proper size for your natural nail. Go a little larger and file down the sides of the press on with a fine-grit. If you size down, it is likely to pop off or hurt you when you bump into things. This a great idea, but if you’re gonna tell someone how to properly put them on, you need to start with the basics, please. Not everyone knows exactly what to do or why you need to do it.

Super cute .
Another tip i have is to always do your dominant hand first .
Take your time and enjoy the process . The nails come with numbers. It's easier to organize them. Press on nails have changed my life. If one pops off just carry glue in your purse 👛👜. 💅

I always file bigger press on nails carefully to be the perfect fit rather than choose a smaller sized one, usually most press on nails can handle modifying size. To test can you change the size with a file in a way that looks unnoticable, test it with a press on nail of the size you would never need. It takes practise tho, to learn a good technique.

I love press on nails so much 💃

New to press on nails. They look so much better than years past. Been watching alot of videos on how to properly put them on for lasting wear. Thank you for taking time to guide us newbies 😁

So...the paper towel trick totally works!!! I'm going on my 3rd week thank you so very much ❤️! I use both the nail adhesive tabs and glue and I still couldn't get past 1 week, but BAABAM!!! Add in the paper towel trick and then it's a total life saver! Thank you so much 💓

i find using oil can start to dissolve the glue a bit near my cuticle, so i only like to apply it a few days before i'm gonna remove them and use it to help take them off. i notice bc i use partially transparent nails sometimes so i can see where the glue may have lifted. i use a hand and cuticle cream to hydrate which works fine

This is a LIFE SAVER!! I've been trying so hard to do Press-On's and recently ordered a bunch of different types and colors from Amazon and I couldn't get any to stay for more than a couple days and they would Pop Off! Pretty irritating sometimes infuriating. LoL. But I want to say how much I Appreciate your making this video! Works 100% better now.! You are awesome! Thanks SOOOO much! Keep up the Great Work! You helped me tremendously! #Grateful4U #NewFan4Life.

My acetone remover has conditioners in it, so I scrub my nails clean with dishwash liquid and dry with a paper towel, this works extremely well. Also yes, I press lightly first before pressing harder 😂 I know exactly what you mean!

[tummyrecipes]

I really love your videos, and this one is extremely unique, i liked the idea of putting a little bit of glue bc i used to put alot and wonder why does it feel odd. Keep it up your one of the very few ones who makes really exceptional content.
