The media could not be loaded. I love these nails. They’re my new favorite thing and the perfect solution for me. I’ve tried pretty much all ways of doing my nails - acrylic, poly gel, regular press ons, and now these gel press ons. I love press ons, but the issue with the regular ones is that the paint on them chips, scratches, rhinestones fall off, etc. And you’re not able to put a top coat on them to help prevent that, because it will only peel. These gel press ons solve those issues perfectly. I can paint them, put rhinestones on them, do designs, wear a top coat and it sticks/stays without issue. They also adhere very, very well and almost have an acrylic-like feel when on. I’ve had them on for a bit over a week so far, and they’re super secure - definitely showing no signs of going anywhere. Typically with regular press ons, 1 or 2 would have fell off by now and I would have had to glue it back on but these gel ones have not budged AT ALL and I’ve done so much with my hands. I’m sure I could do just about anything with these on and they wouldn’t fall off. I’m more worried about getting them off, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. I also think they’re a fabulous value, going for about $12 a box currently. I’ll be able do my nails 5x with this pack, for just $12. You can get a good box of regular press ons for about $7 or $8 but you’ll only be able to use it one time, so you do the math. Overall, with all things considered, these come out on top and I highly recommend them. The only downside to these versus the regular ones is that they’re not pre-designed, so you’ll have to spend extra time designing them if you don’t want to wear them as is in which they’re still perfectly cute, but I do tend to get bored and like to switch it up but don’t always feel like or know how to do certain designs. So, that’s the only thing but beyond that, they’re still awesome.Just know that you’ll need to have a UV cure lamp and gel nail glue because regular nail glue won’t work. You can get a nail lamp for pretty cheap and it’s worth the investment. With these things and a proper prep, you’ll be good to go, promise!Update: It’s 5 months later and I’m finally re-ordering. I’ve done my nails 5x and they’ve lasted 3 weeks easily each time without falling off. In fact, I’ve never had one fall off regardless of how long I kept them on. Of course, as with any nails (acrylic, etc), after the weeks pass, they no longer look as fresh but that’s to be expected being that your nails grow out or whatever else, that’s why you do a new set. I still can’t think of a better way to do your nails in a way that is durable and lasts. They feel the same as having on acrylics and last just as long but they’re a WHOLE lot easier to do. I’m completely positive that it was a user error if anyone has had an issue with these nails.

I really love the length and the color of these nails. They are perfect and super easy to apply with solid glue gel. after you have them on all you have to do is decorate and voila salon quality nails for pennies on the dollar. I've had these on for a week now They haven't been or cracked. I got these for only $14.95 but these nails are usually around $30 so I got a really good value for my money. I'm not sure why these ones are cheaper because to me they're the best because all the other ones are short! I'm a long nail girly but even in other brands they don't carry long pre-made nails.

I rotate between every single type of artificial nail. From acrylic to gel to polygel and back around to regular degular press ons. I'm in the press on era currently.These nails right here are EVERYTHING I look for in a press on, and im picky. They are study but not bulky. Don't bend at all. They have the sturdiness/thickness of a acrylic. They blend seamlessly in to my cuticle giving the appearance of a salon nail. From the side they also blend in so you can't see where they are stuck on.I have wide nails. Press on kits don't usually accommodate my sizes (my thumb is close to a zero and my pointer and ring are 6) These nails have every single size including mine and I love that inclusion.They are curved just rightMinor cons (that don't matter to me but might to you) - they aren't shiny. Def a matte look but I plan on applying a top coat. And the pink is very subtle. Almost my skin tone.Aside from those things these are pretty close to perfect. Not to mention the super affordable price. I'll be buying these again and again. I've found my new obsession.

❗️Edited after wear test: I changed my review from 5 stars to 4 stars. These nails stayed on really well, but I struggled with the top coat because it began to peel off around the edges of the nail after 6-7 days. I think it was an error in my application and I didn’t seal the edges with the gel top coat properly. I still haven’t used the gel nail glue yet because it makes me nervous and I don’t want to use an electric nail file to get the glue off. I use the Beauty Secrets nail glue and I swear I think these nails could survive a nuclear war. I don’t mind the top coat peeling because it’s an easy fix. These nails save me money and still look good for a long time. I usually get bored and soak the nails off before they’re actually ready to come off naturally.Original post: These nails are absolutely worth the money. You need to have the builder gel and top coat kit with the UV lamp, but I use my own nail glue to stick these on. I ordered the XS size and these nails are quite small but perfect for my finger size. I didn’t cut the length down at all. I type for work all day and these are the perfect length in my opinion. You may have a harder time with these if your nail beds are larger. Be sure to pay attention to the size when you’re buying these.The nails are thin but that is why you’ll need the builder gel kit, it turns them into acrylic type thickness so they are sturdier.Apply these nails like you usually would prep to apply any press on nail (I haven’t used the BTArtbox gel glue yet).The nails are a gorgeous sheer pink once you apply the builder gel and top coat. This was my first time ever using builder gel and I just applied it like regular nail polish and the cured it per the directions. A little bit of builder gel goes a long way so be careful not to glop it on and ❗️DO NOT CURE THE BUILDER GEL ONTO YOUR SKIN❗️, you risk developing a gel allergy if you do that. I use rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad to wipe of excess gel.The builder gel finishes a bit sticky out of the lamp, but after you wipe the top coat on and then cure it completely, the stickiness is gone. These nails come with enough for 4 sets. Since this is my first time using these nails I will update later with the wear test lengths.So far very good quality, very user friendly and WAAAAY cheaper than the salon, even if you buy the builder gel kit.
