i have used press on nails since 2012 and i have never gotten my nails done in a salon. even now, i either do my own nails or buy press ons. here are the best nails that last me 2+ weeks!‼️NOTE: if you have trouble with press ons lasting, make sure you buff the top of your nails until they look rough/have nail dust from buffing and then wipe with alcohol/acetone and let them dry. when you apply, they should stick for a while! they don’t stick well to oily/shiny/unbuffed nails. my nail prep makes my nails last so long i have to practically pry them off after 3 weeks to redo them, with all 10 nails still intact!
