Glamnetic Press On Nails – Cobalt Blue | Opaque Bright Vibrant Blue Short Almond Fake Nails, Salon Quality | 15 Sizes – 30 Nail Kit

Quick and easy
My favorite press on nail brand so far. I’ve tried a store brand and they were so thin they would split when picking anything (e.g. hair). Two of these popped off on day 2 (to be fair I grabbed the heck of a railing to prevent a fall to my nails too my weight) but after buffing my nail again, reapplying the glue on the back of the nail and my nail and re-adhering for 30 secs making sure to pay attention to the edges of the nails and cuticle to ensure a proper seal, they lasted a full 2 weeks, I had to soak them off and I did it because I got bored and eager to try a new color. I won’t be returning to the salon. Also my real nail underneath felt stronger than ever after taking these nails off, they weren’t damaged or sanded into oblivion like at the salon. I bought 5 or 6 sets and can’t wait to use them all. Oh, and the short almond is more of a medium to long length for me. I think I may have a short nail bed; I’m always choosing the smaller size nails but not the smallest. These sets have a nail that fit each of mine and some to spare just in case.The purple set started out short almond and then a couple days later I filed them down to more of a short coffin. I agree with proper prep work being needed to make sure they adhere properly. Cut or file your nail, buff/ scuff the real nail surface some so the glue can really grab onto something; use rubbing alcohol to dehydrate the nail to make sure the glue doesn’t sit on top of anything that will lift your nail prematurely; then put the glue on the back of the nail on the same area that your nail bed will be and your nail, not a lot but just coat, then place the nail making sure it’s properly positioned and not touching any skin surfaces, hold down, pay close attention to the edges that will later trap water and crud if not locked down properly; hold for a good 20-30 secs. If any edges weren’t completely glued down, try to put the tiniest dab of glue and re secure it.To remove, soak off in actetone and take the wooden stick and pry off, it should come up with ease but if not re-soak and try again. File old glue off and let your nails rest or breathe ; or prep to reapply your new set.***I’m no pro. I’ve done this only 4x using 3 different brands. And this is just what worked for my personal experience and watching videos and reading reviews. Good luck.

STRONG like the salon !
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Since I was a child I was a nail biter. Prior to the nail salons popping up in the late 90’s, I wore press ons which sucked. They popped off almost instantly. For the past 30 years, I have been getting salon nails done regularly. I started with acrylics, eventually changed to ANC, and then went to gel.  All 3 are horrible for your natural nails, weakening them, and they require a lot of time and lots of money to maintain. For these reasons I called it quits 2 years ago. This is when I attempted to grow my own nails. Between having a hard time with painting and shaping them on my own, and them not breaking due to being thin and brittle thanks to the years of abuse, my natural nails just are not successful no matter how hard I try. I’ve been seeing ads on social media for these so I decided to check them out. I like my nails on the shorter side, just a small tip. I also like them shaped scoval. Round is too old lady, square with sharp corners is too 90’s, pointing and coffin shape  are a hard pass for me.  Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get the length and shape I like so I got what was close and decided to cut and file them down myself. Which was easy to do and did not damage the nails.Now I’m no trained nail professional so my shaping is not the best but I couldn’t be more pleased with these press on nails!!! If you read the directions and prep your nails properly they go on and stay on! I don’t know what kind of magic super glue they use but these nails stick!!! I’ve been wearing them for two days now. I’ve done gardening, cooking and baking, washed dishes, and shampooed my hair in that time frame and I have had no pop offs, no breaks, no chipping. These nails are strong and durable. Aside from my terrible shaping and the color which I’m not too crazy about, I think they look very good. I’m going to scuff them up a bit and attempt to paint them with a different color. If it turns out to look like crap I will then attempt to remove them according to directions, and I will report back on how the removal process goes. Hopefully painting over them is successful and I won’t need to remove them! 

I was skeptical but these nails looked and felt so real! I filed them down shorter because I don’t love super long nails. They lasted just over a week but most came off without breaking so could be put back on. I will definitely buy again! I got the square tip in the nude.

These are not like the other glamnetic nails, usually they are sturdy, but these ones are extremely flimsy. I honestly do not recommend they look cute, but definitely not like the original ones.

These are okay. If you have smaller nails I would not suggest to get these, I had to choose a larger size for a few of my nails and it pulls and is quite uncomfortable 🙁 plus it looks silly! Unfortunately does not come with enough medium/small options
