Is 穿戴甲 / press-on nails Worth Selling?

“Your glue tabs aren't working because your nails fit poorly. That's it, that's all it is. [...] poor fit from either oversized nails or nails that don't closely follow the curve of your natural nails will be the death of glue tabs. Unlike the glue, it can't spread to where it's needed and remains the same thickness throughout, so any gap will eventually cause lifting.”

“I used to swear by O&J. I bought so many sets their PR reached out to me about doing product testing. You're not crazy to think they didn't bother you before but do now. They were already some of the most curved nails in the game and for some reason they made the newest ones *even more curved*. They're painful now.”

“The first brand I used did not have enough c curve, and we're uncomfortable, never felt totally secure and kept popping off from day 2. Tried a new brand with a deeper curve and they didn't budge for 10 days.”

“Ive noticed that marketing photos/videos of press ons often have the models in sizes that look too large, and aren't placed very well (covering the cuticle) — I wonder if that contributes to how people think they should fit. It really irks me and I don't understand it from an advertising perspective, it makes them look much cheaper.”

“As someone with flatter nailbeds I find sizing down to make them pop off sooner because theyre being forced too much out of shape. I don't necessarily size up but I will chose a nail with overhang on edge and then file down over a nail that will squeeze”

“Not to mention, it HURTS when it's too big!! It digs into the sides of your finger and is just such an uncomfy feel.”

“Instead of the press-on popping off, **my entire nail lifted 80% off of my finger** while remaining attached to the press-on. It was some of the worst pain of my life. I ended up having to have the entire nail removed today at the dermatologist's office because it had been pulled off beyond the point of no return.”

“Holy shit I had this happen late last year! I was wearing very long fresh square pressons with glamnetic glue and closed the car door on my middle fingernail while distracted. Same thing, my nail was hanging by the cuticle and I had to get it pulled. The nail came back in around 4 months give or take”

“I always use glue tabs instead of the included glue for this exact reason. I dont mind reapplying my nails every week if it means I dont lose my actual nails to accidents!”

“Never, **ever** use floss to remove nails, you're literally ripping something off that is adhered to your nail. A safer and less damaging method is to clip the nails down and put cotton balls soaked in acetone on your nails (wrapped with foil to keep them in place)”

“They weren't budging, so I used the Kiss false nail remover, and that literally made the nails crumble to pieces! Removing these also damaged my real nails, which I had been doing such a good job taking care of! Some of the nails left a red residue that I had to file off.”

“I stopped using O&J bc how they basically disintegrate during removal. They fit my nails, but the removal takes legit 5x longer. Pass.”

“I bought a pack and did everything (I think) flawlessly [...] Result: the first nail came off the same evening, the second one after less than 24 hours, and some others look like they are on the verge of coming off. Did I do something wrong or are the reviews simply fake?”

“If my nails are naturally flat and yours are super curved, we're probably going to have completely different opinions on the "best" press-on brands. [...] There's a whole post about people getting 3 week wear with a specific glue but you try it and get pop offs 3 days in. It's because that glue doesn't work with your nail type.”

“Prep is important, but over-prepping is where a lot of people go wrong. A light buff is enough. If you're aggressively roughing up your nails every set, they'll thin out fast.”

“I get greenies. I don't know how to avoid it. 🤷‍♀️”

“Nails that fit don't hurt, so Glamnetic short almond is not the nail for you. [...] There is nothing really to apply to heal onycholysis, the damage is under the nail. Keep your hands clean, don't stick anything under the nail, and just wait for it to grow out.”
