I’m a mom and the salon is not an option. With its outrageous prices and all the other chaos, I prefer to do mine at home. So, here are some nail items I have used and love.

Press on Nail Supplies

Supplies I would recommend for a seamless application and longer wear time. I recommend alcohol swabs and a dehydrator before you apply any press on nail!
 
Amber Twigger profile picture
I highly recommend using a nail dehydrator before applying press ons. You don’t want oil on your nail because that will break down the glue.

This cream is nice and it will strengthen nails

If you don’t use a nail dehydrator, this will work too! The goal is to deprive your natural nail of oil so that they press on it will stick better
ONYX Brands Pure Acetone Nail Polish Remover - 16 fl oz
 
Amber Twigger profile picture
You wanna do this before you apply or press on nails as well. This will help sanitize the nail because the package is so large. It will last you a long time!
