I’ve never had fake nails before but I saw these press ons at Ulta and decided what the heck it will be a fun experiment. It took me a bit to get the hang of it but I got them on then filed them as much as I could to go with the shape of my nail bed. I can see they’re not perfect (glue around the edges and maybe a tad too big) but I was pretty impressed with them, especially for only 8 bucks! I thought about getting more to practice and wearing some to a concert my friend and I are going to next week. I sent her a picture to get her opinion since she gets her nails done often but I was a bit surprised when she said they look really bad and not to get more. Like I said they’re not perfect but I thought they’d be believable enough especially in a dark venue. I asked what I could do to make them better but she said “You can just tell they’re from a store”. Is there a way I can make them look more professional?

They don’t look bad in my opinion I would just say there’s too much white but they aren’t bad
I don’t think they look… terrible? They don’t look “bad” either, but with this pic up close I can tell they are press ons. The ends definitely need filed as I can see where they were initially attached to a single piece of plastic. File that tab off, and they would be much better! Other than that, the square/coffin shape is a bit wide and looks a little odd maybe but not anything crazy? I think she was being dramatic. A lot of people really want to act like the salon is the only way to get good looking nails because they’re paying a lot of money, but its not. Press ons can give just as good a look for much less. Keep experimenting! 🙂
No, I would just take a file to the little nub at the tips and they’ll be perfect !
Keep the nails .. get rid of the friend. I think they look wonderful..
they do not look bad. On first glance, I did not think they were press on.
