I used to apply them last thing before bed. I didn't wash my hands either prior to application either, I did them on clean dry nails. I also placed them truly at the cuticle to avoid the ledge. I pressed on each nail for a full minute per nail and pressed hard! One extra tip I'm sharing: If you're applying a French style, apply at a 45 degree angle, press at the cuticle first, then down to the tip, this allows the sticky tab to press down with no air bubbles.

I have been using these for two years. My nails had become so thin and damaged from salon manicures etc. I can wear these for at least two weeks and sometimes longer. I just reapply if one comes off. I no longer have damaged nails. I press each nail for at least 30 seconds when I apply. Great tutorial!

To keep from allowing a "hair tangling" lip at the cuticle, I always lift my cuticles as part of the prep and then gently place the nail underneath the cuticle. They look completely natural and stay on for two to three weeks. I know it's time to replace them when they start grabbing my hair. Loved your video!!!

I’m getting ready to apply my first set of press on nails and this is not only the 12th tutorial I’ve watched on YouTube but it’s honestly the best. Thank you SipAndDip

Thank you very much. It was so hard to find this kind on here that I thought I was tripping that you're supposed to pull tabs not use glue. Yes I appreciate this. ❤

I LOVE the Impress nails! I've had some sets last over 3 weeks, since I also use the Kiss glue on ones I just re-glue any that might fall off before I'm ready to remove them. My only problem is that I have a strong C curve and my nails are narrow, so a lot of the pretty accent nails don't fit. Also they're totally reusable! I just peel the old glue tab off and use nail glue if I want to reuse a set

Tip: You can use a piece of floss to remove them as well, or a flosser if you don't have loose floss.. wait until the nail is loose and slide it underneath and poof nails gone.

For many years, I wore Kiss glueon nails. I loved them. If you prep your nails as if doing dip, minus the primer, make sure you use sufficient glue as if doing gell X, they last even longer. When they start to grow out, going around the cuticle with a file to bring down the ledge also helps. I've never tried the ones with the sticky tabs as I want mine to stay on as long as possible without concern of them popping off. With glueons, I tried not to wash my hands an hour before and at least that long after.

I love Kiss Impress Nails! They are so easy to apply and easy to remove. No pop offs like I had with the glue on. Thanks for the tutorial.

[jillyfae]

After my initial fails at dip nails (no efile at the time, and over zealous with the file, couldn't do decent fills and got greenies), I put away all the supplies and turned to these. Rocked them for over a year before turning to gel, soft gel nails and an efile. Agreed about the wider thumb sizing too! Every so often I'd get a bad batch where they would pop off after a day or two but most sets lasted me well into 10 days. Love my gel nails, but sometimes I do miss the ImPress especially with the cute holiday designs.

The ledge you spoke about, I go around and put a tiny bit of clear polish or glue at the cuticle to rid of it

- These look great, I love the color.
- I'm making my own and adhering them with a waterproof glue tab and a little glue around the edges of the tab. The longest I've had them on it 9 days and I had to remove them, there was no popping off or even lifting. I'm actually in the middle of a 2 week test. 🙂
- With the tips I'm using right now, I don't have that ledge. And since I use a smaller glue tab than would cover my entire nail, I don't have any of the tab coming out.
- You're right about the 70% alcohol, I've read that it's not quite enough. I make my own that is a formula I got from The Nail Hub. It's ¾ 99% alcohol and ¼ 100% acetone, it works very well.
- Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it. They are beautiful.

THANK U FOR THIS SUPER INFORMATIVE VID, and for telling us when u experienced the hair catching!!! That is one of the biggest aggravations, but rarely mentioned in nail diy tutorials! Regarding the sticky base coat, prior to ever seeing this, I asked a Nail Pro, in a salon store...specifically about Kiss brand press ons and Dashing Diva polish stickers...her response was that she ALWAYS recommends a good base coat application under DIY nails 💅she said it helps preserve the natural nails and told me that as a Pro who does her own nails & her daughter's nails, she always uses a good base product like Orly or OPI....so you're 100% on target with it🎉! Again, Thank you!😊

[dianepelosi]

these are great!! And being the frugal woman I am, save all your extras for a new set and polish with your favorite color. They still stay on well.

[carolejohansen]

Mine lasted a month this last time! I probably should have taken them off at 3 weeks though due to the grow out. I always do them just before bed so they adhere better by not using them for 10-12 hours. I just use the kit. Thanks for the suggestion of doing the thumbs last.😊

Press-ons have come a long way in recent years 💖

[missblacksheepdoesnails]

I haven’t worn press ons since omg! Maybe 1989? Were they out then? Kiss had to be! Lol you know we were glueing those suckers on! Then of course lots of clean up after. 😮
Then I went and found me a nail tech and I wore sculpted acrylic for at least 10 years. Then the salons seem to start changing (by then I was in Missouri) tips and then acrylic over that…lots of dealing with lifting….ugh 🤯😱 then things seemed to just start changing again, I learned which salons to go to and which ones not too. Prices went up….idk, now I’m venting. Lol I do my own now. Dip nails, gel, I’ve learned acrylic application, gelx, it’s fun. I’m home bound too so it fills time sometimes. 😊
Great video, thanks! 💙💜🩷💜💙

[jocelynrodriguez]

I’ve made my own press on nails and love them

[bonniesytsma]

I just started using these after developing a gel allergy (also get dip flu! 😢). I LOVE these so much. I just ordered a set of “bare but better” and I’ll probably paint over after wearing a few days. Currently on day 9 with a French tip set. 😁
