i have a tip when you are ready to remove your nails put some acetone in a sandwich bag and then fill a bowl with warm water stick the bag in the water put your hand in the Ziploc bag it works wonders and speeds up the process of the removing

[yolandavang]

Just a little FYI from a licensed nail tech, you're not damaging your nail surface if you buff with a soft grit buffer. This is actually needed to make sure nail surface plate is smooth as well as to take out the shine from natural nail to have more grip.

Great video overall with tips and tricks!

[mndprcvl]

Your tip about trimming the sides...THANK YOU!!! I feel like I’m the only one with baby size nails because you’re the first person I’ve seen say this.

[michellemartinov]

I’m a nurse and the dashing diva sticker version is AWESOME! They stay on for 2, sometimes 3 weeks and I’m a girl constantly washing my hands, using hand gel and constantly getting into icky stuff from my job and they do the job!

[InfiniteMidnite]

I’m a chronic nail biter (stress) but saw the impress nails in another video but no tutorial. I ordered them this week and I’ll watch this again to help me because I’ve never worn press on nails. Thank you so much for the tips & thorough tutorial. I can’t wait to try this

[Gobbledi_Gook]

Girl I am a 26 year old gay boy full to bursting with nervous energy and I have bitten my nails my entire life, BUT in these trying Corona times I'm doing my best to quit and this video has helped loads. Day 4 with no biting!

[luckymitch]

Wow some people are so rude!! This is YOUR video and can make it however you please! I personally thought it was very informative and fun to watch all the way through 🥰 I appreciate you taking the time to make it and I’ll definitely be trying press ons ASAP!

[lucyinthesky]

I'm so happy I found this video. I can't thank you enough. I had metastatic bone cancer and the chemo took a huge toll on me. I stop getting my nails done at salons just to stop any additional damage to my body. I'm in remission and decided to go back to press on nails. I recently saw and purchased a pretty set of Im Press nails but I don't like the glue tab so I haven't used it because I was thinking I would peel it off and treat it like a regular press on and file my natural nails and glue it.
And your video you used both! And I thought that was clever. Then when you said about the nail damage, it was just perfect. And also about the trimming the sides of the nails, never thought of that. I would use it once and throw them away but that's such a great idea. It's the tiniest of things I'm so grateful for now. It made me immensely happy. I can't wait to do my nails and still keep my healthy natural nails. 😃

I’m OBSESSED with these!! I love how thin they are and the short ones honestly just feel like my nails. I forget I’m wearing them & it’s been two weeks! I agree good prep = longer wear. It’s not a quick process for me, but I enjoy the self care time. The fact that they can be trimmed & lightly filed is probably my favorite thing about them. They can really be personalized to fit length & shape which is the best!
After removing, I pulled the glue off the nail and saved bc they can def be used again with nail glue. The thinness & breathability is top notch. It hasn’t effected my way of doing things or dented the nails to open cat food cans, fight with a car seat buckle, wash my hair, etc. I also hold at a 45 degree angle & just slightly press toward my nail bed/cuticle to get the most natural look as well as ensuring its tightly down at the base. If not, hair can get grabbed under it which is frustrating, but an easy fix & nothing bad about the nails, just a learning curve. I also love using the gloss strips on my toes! I can do two toes from one strip if I cut it in half before peeling off. I also use cuticle scissors to trim off excess, then file under my nail to prevent creasing of the strip. LOVE this brand!! Thanks so much for all the tips!! I like to think using your tips are the reason mine last 2 weeks and longer.

[kellurl]

Wow! Love the fact that your natural nails look healthy and this does not ruin them. Thank you for sharing :)

UPDATE: I've Included time stamps into the video so you can jump to the area/tips that are most beneficial for you!

First nail actually goes on at 18:15, for those wondering XD I appreciate the tips, but WOW!

[savannahphillips]

This video is a LIFE SAVER! I'm getting married Tuesday and we over spent on budget so I can't afford 80$ for a good Mani pedi. I got press ons for my hands and I've always had the same experience you did as a kid. They constantly fell off. I'm so hoping I get better results with your tips

[shealafferty]

I put the Impress nails on for a Disney trip, and they seriously lasted 10 days and were difficult to get off except my one right thumb. They are a favorite for sure.

[heatherhall]

I love press on nails. I have only tried the impress ones. Going to Sally’s today, going to see if I can find some dashing divas to try. Thank you.

[neonholgram]

This is the best tutorial for DD press ons in my opinion!

[deejea]

I love IMPRESS... I also put a shiny top coat on top! They last me over a week ! I have so many! My new favs!

[ghost-ezzn]

I love the Kiss Impress nails but now I want to try the Diva ones. I also use Super Glue. The one i use also has a brush. I just keep it in my work bag in case i have any repairs to make during the day. I'm on a computer all day and these nails last about 10 days. I also use gloves while cleaning and am careful. I'm very pleased with them!
I remember Lee Press On Nails from the 70s. LOL. They barely lasted an hour.

[AshleyNoelleLewis]

I've been playing around with press ons since you mentioned them on Instagram awhile back and have to agree that dashing diva is my fave. Mine seemed to last forever with just the adhesive sticker. I was super impressed!

[tarareads]

These are some great tips. I am definitely going to try Dashing Diva nails. I'm so lazy with polishing my nails and having to keep them up. I'll definitely come back to this video a few times. Thank you for sharing!
