Sorry-not-sorry for the pun. But I do have a question for press-on users at large: Does anyone else get sore nailbeds from using press-on nails?
This was the set I put on for the last few days & local celebrations of Pride. I use the glue tabs, which hold on really well for me. But with this and my previous Glamermaid set, my nails have been so sore, tender, and achey wearing the nails. I do not recall having these problems with other brands (I’ve worn Impress/Diva/Static nails for 3-4 weeks each), and it’s similar to the lingering ache I had from getting salon powder gel nails (though that ache dulled and mostly subsided after a day or so). With this set, I was whining at my partner about achey fingers and asking him to rub or massage my finger tips constantly until I took the nails off after 2 days.
My guess is that my flatter C-curve does not match the nails well enough. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions or recommendations for dealing with the lingering soreness or finding more forgiving C-curve products, especially any that would let me make my own sets?
