Press-ons
I love wearing press-ons, because they're easy and perfect! With proper prep, you can make them last for weeks. Make sure you push back cuticles, I like a glass or crystal pusher, then gently file surface of nail, brush off dust and use glue on natural and artificial nail. Hold nail in place for 30 seconds and you should have a great bond that lasts.
