Good for a quick fix, holds well even with outside work to last a little longer when lifting starts until it is time for another set.

I found these recommended on tiktok and I am one of those easily influenced people and didn't want to pay to get my nails done for our photoshoot so.. I had to get them! The tiktoker said to buff your nails, clean them, etc.. then put the adhesive tabs on your nail bed, then put the glue on top of the tab so it adheres to the fake nail and the adhesive tab instead of your nail. Best. Hack. Ever! I personally think these would have stuck for 2-3 weeks, but I work on a computer and so I took them off after a week. I followed the directions and they came right off! But before that? Not budging. I slammed them into things on accident and nothing. I got the champagne glaze!

I would categorize myself as someone who is *very* serious about my nails. I get Japanese gels and now builder gel manicures at the salon every 2-3 weeks. But I also travel a lot, which occasionally means I cant get in to see my regular manicurist due to their availabilityso I recently had to do the unthinkable, which was to try a newbut still highly rated/reviewed salonin Paris. BIG MISTAKE. The tech over-drilled my nails, leaving them a thin and delicate mess. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to take a break from the salon and explore some safer options. I scoured the internet for the best at-home option, and came across these press ons. I absolutely LOVE them. The shape is perfection. The shade is a believable neutral. Its only been one day, so I cant speak to the strength of the tab adhesive, but so far so good! Im waiting for the company to respond to my question on the ingredients of the tabs as Im allergic to latex. And have ordered some latex-free tabs from another brand in the meantime. But it feels really freeing to not have to rely on my manicurist and their schedule. Nor put my nails through potentially unsafe drilling, not to mention all the chemicals the salon products contain. I felt compelled to share my experience so that others who are exploring ditching the salon can feel comfortable at least giving these a chance. I havent suffered the embarrassment of having one pop off at an inopportune time, but am already planning on carrying some extra tabs with me in my purse for any evenings out. And I can always have a tech clean up my cuticles when I go in for my pedicures so my hands will look even more pristine without all the expense and hassle of a full set. So far, I dont see a downside.

The nails themselves are thicker than most press on nails so I believe that made them a lot more durable. Also the quality was really good- got lots of compliments on them. They did come pretty long, so I clipped then buffed them down to a length I liked. They lasted me about 1 week, however I used a different nail glue that was a bit stronger. I could have just kept gluing them down which didnt take long at all, but I wanted to take them off. Would buy again!
