I love using the tabs, so much easier for me than glue. Thank you for recommending them so I know how to do properly. 😊

i am a newcomer to artificial nails and have watched so many videos trying to improve my “technique“. this was THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE TUTORIAL i’ve ever come across!!! subscribing!!!

I only wear pressons. SHEIN has some great ones (always look at all product pictures and look at review pictures before buying. ALSO TRY SEARCHING HANDMADE NAILS - they are the best quality thicker ones and they look like gel or acrylic sets). I do a similar thing but i do a base coat and then A PEEL OFF base coat THEN glue. I put the base on majority of the nail, peel off in the middle leaving a tiny margin and then i use the glue (beetles nail glue is amazing - make sure its not the gel glue but the air dry glue). I leave the little margin because if you put the peel off all the way to the side wall it peels off sooner than you want them to - leaving the margin allows it to grip the perimeter of the nail. then when you want to remove just use a wood stick or cuticle scraper to get under the nail and then peel the nail off or use a peel off base remover solution to loosen the peel off base with less tension. GAME CHANGER.

5:10 in regards to the importance of leaving a small margin between the base coat and cuticle as well as the sidewalls. I know many here know why but for those of us new to nails don’t know. Im aware of course that you need to make sure no product goes on the skin, this goes without saying, but if someone could explain why it’s important to leave a space between base coat and sidewalls/cuticles, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 😊

I do press ons for my sister. I’m totally gonna send her this video with my next care package that includes some base coat & a small lamp!!! Thank you so much! ❤

I've heard about (but never tried) using peel-off base coat on both the natural nails and the inside of the press-ons (only the portion that will be adhered to the nail beds; not the free edge) then using nail glue to attach the nails.

The theory is the nail glue will attach the nails more securely than the adhesive tabs, but the peel-off base coat will enable you to remove the nails w/o damaging your nail beds AND you'll be able to remove the adhesive from the underside of the press-ons so you can use them again.

Inquiring minds want to know: does this work?

I LOVE the the adhesive stickers, they're perfect for me since I usually only need to wear nails for a day at most.

I love that this addresses nail health! Thank you!

[NotMooncrafts]

Such great advice. The regular liquid glue that came with press ons was ripping my nails up and the sticky tabs would fall off in less than an hour. Using a base coat is what made all the difference especially with those sticky tabs, now they can last a week. Thank you 😊.

Out of all the videos I watched on protecting your nails with gel base coat and applying nails, this video was best explained! Thank you! Now, I can purchase the products to try it myself!

[katerinanstojcevska]

Once again excellent presentation, thanks for sharing ❤

[battlecat]

the reason I use press-ons is because i'm allergic to gel and acrylic- is there another product I could use instead of the gel base coat? I've tried sandwiching glue, then sticky pads then more glue and it did a good job but I'm always looking for other/ better options. Thank you for covering this topic, love your content <3

[Sshodan]

Very happy I found this - I was trying to figure out if there is some kind of protective base coat I can use without shortening the durability of the whole thing - for some reason it never occurred to me to use the gel ones... Will definitely be trying that.

[paulalaudino]

FANTASTIC! I love all nails, short natural and dark, or full gel coffin extensions, dip powder or just a Gel manicure on natural nails, etc. I do love the press-on nails by Static but I have noticed my nails look white, flaky, and thin, EVEN after trying to gently remove them. This is the perfect answer and the video is great. I had thought that would work but was not sure and was afraid to try this method and not finding a "how to" after researching on the net. SO GLAD I found this video! 
Thank You.

[michellebettenhausen]

I can never use the tabs, after 1 hour they pop up.

[npayne]

Thank you for this! I surely will try the base coat trick.
Now you said don't get close to the cuticle with bars coat and sticker but won't that leave space for water to sit in?

[Barbara-]

If I used the method you described here, when I take a shower the water would be in the sides of nail where the sticky tape wasn’t applied. There’s too much room between the nail & the sticky tape. ❤

[bluechew]

wow thank you so much the gel topcoat idea is so good i never thought abt doing that!

[brongalic]

Would you use the base coat for glue on nails as well?

[KellyPeters-id]

This was an excellent video. I learned exactly what i needed to know. Thank you!
