I wanted to switch to press on nails to make it easier to take them off later. These last me about a week. I wash my hands often and I also wash dishes, cook, clean house, etc and they hold up pretty well for 6-7 days. Very easy to apply, I make sure to have clean, prepped nails. If you have longer or wider nail beds, you might have to cut and use the bigger sizes to fit your nail bed. You get quite a bit of tabs for the price. I re-do mine every week and I usually put them on before I got to bed on Sunday night and I don't touch water again until the next morning. I think this ensures that the tabs are secured on enough. Unlike glue, the tabs will make the press on nails sit higher so it won't look as natural -- I'm okay with that. I never open soda cans with my nails so I don't know if they can handle that. None have fallen off. They can lift and lose their stickiness when your nails are in water for a long time. I will buy it again when I run out. Read more
Game changers. The stickiness isn’t actually that sticky but if you do some prep work it’s actually really durable. I actually use a heat gun (don’t recommend, use a hair dryer) and heat them up slightly then put them onto my nail after I have lightly buffed the nail. Afterwards, I go ahead and apply nail glue on the tab itself, and stick the nail on, hold it for 30 seconds. When I tell you they don’t move, they really don’t move. I had my nails on for a week and I work in an Amazon warehouse, and we use our hands constantly. Not once did they pop off not once did they move. After a week I pulled them off myself (the stickers were causing issues, and some other designs on them were annoying me) and let me tell you, I almost ripped my own nails off trying to get them off. This is perfect and exactly what I’ve been needing. Value of money was perfect because they come in these huge pack, meaning I can do my nails as much and as frequently as I need to without getting supplies. Would recommend. Read more
So if you use store bought press-ons with self adhesive you probably like Impress because if you do the prep steps correctly, they will last a full week without issue even with showering and light housework. These are the same concept that you do yourself, HOWEVER, the premade version from the store already comes with the adhesive heat sealed on the nails. If you keep that in mind, then you do have to do work to your nail and the fake nail to get the same result. For anyone new to this that wants that, but for much less, stick with me because I already made all the mistakes with these to save you time. First off, prep the fake nails themselves before you start any of the adhesive. This is important. If the nails aren’t the right length or shape, get that part out of the way first with your cutting and filing and just like up your correct sized nails on the order you want to put them on. I found that an important step to make them stay longer was also to gently buff the inside of the mail to rough it up just like you would your own nail, which does in fact help the adhesive stay better. Then just wipe the inside of each nail with a cutip dipped in alcohol, also like your natural nail prep to get off the dust you created by all that buffing. Ok now to your own nails, you’ve already cut, mostly filed, scratched up the insides a little, alcohol swiped them and laid them out for the right fingers. I know it sounds like a lot but maybe 15 min of work. Get out your hair dryer. This made a big difference for me in adhesion for sure. After using the file to roughen up the nails I prefer to use another q-tip instead of cotton ball to remove the oils and dust, just because with the shape of my nail bed I feel like it does a better job of getting in the areas around the skin. Something that made a big difference in adhesion for me was to put the sticky strips on sideways so it is covering completely for one side of the nail to the other. My natural nails are pretty short so this doesn’t require and extra sticky for me to cover the whole nail but it likely would for someone with long nails. There is often a little adhesive overhang on the skin once I get the nails stuck and settled but it scrapes off really easily with that little toothpick looking nail tool and then there is sticky stuff wall to wall against the nail. Once the adhesive is on, before I put the nail on top, I use the hair dryer each time, on each nail and then put the fake nail on top and hold, kind of rolling your thumb side to side t seal all the edges.then I take that small wood toothpick looking tool and rub the flat side all around the edge well and then from my nail bed down to where the finger ends to prevent any bubble looking if you prefer French nails(I do). Then just lightly shape the already filed name just to refine the shape once they are all on.And that is all. It sounds like a lot but it’s 30 min once you are used to it, and not more than 45 when you do it the first time. I’ve not noticed much variation between thicker and thinner nails as far as adhesion. I do prefer thinner, just because they don’t feel heavy and annoy me, but it doesn’t seem to impact how long they last. But I also do keep mine just a little over the fingertip because I’m hard on my hands. Good luck! Read more
These work amazingly. I love them. They really do have a great hold and are better than others i have used in the past. I love wearing press on's and reuse them so these adhesive tabs really do help maintain the shape and overall quality of the press on's without risking breaking any taking them off, compared to if i used glue.

I have tried many nail tabs and these are FAR FAR BETTER than they usually are. They are longer and stickier than other brands. Use tweezers to apply without touching the adhesive. They last a long time and enable nail reuse. Before these I was forced to use glue that damaged my nails no matter how carefully I removed it. Very happy with these tabs! Read more
Easy to remove from packaging and apply. Hold nails on for one week plus. Read more
These don’t really work. They don’t stick evenly. They bunch up. Theyre super hard to get away from the seat and onto your nail or the fake nail without them, tearing or punching up or coming apart great concept way better than the toxic glue but they just don’t work very well. Read more
Great hold and works perfectly for when I only want to wear nails for a few hours. Easy and harmless removal Read more
