Doing My Nails With VINTAGE Nail Kits

[@N8TheGr8001]

This brings back MEMORIES! I was born in 1980, my mom was a waitress at the diner across the street, and she would wear those exact press ons! Great video!

[@error404webpagenotfound]

I'm curious, if you can remember that is, did they actually last? I just feel like they would pop off in an hour with those sticky tabs back then. I've never tried using the tabs that came with press ons, I always used the glue or my own gel glue.

[@hangoutwithbella0117]

⁠​⁠@@error404webpagenotfoundThe new sticky tabs actually do stay but maybe for an hour so I suggest using glue for the press ons

[@kandydewey1286]

@@error404webpagenotfoundI used to use super glue instead of tabs. I was born in 75’ if that helps

[@kandirain_1172]

Black women around me didn’t get their nails done because they didn’t have that kinda money and because there weren’t any nail salons close by. They did their own nails and they were beautiful. That’s why this video brought back so many memories of my mom, who recently passed away, doing her nails and mine ( because of course she had to do mine when she did hers). My mama was the best ❤

[@NeTashaLynn2011]

Please do a cotton candy Patty Gel!!! I can’t believe you found it! That was my first color at the salon as a kid 😅

[@angelsutton2147]

Yesss

[@darlacollins1981]

Yes please that was my goto favorite color my signature nails!! I don't think I even tried wearing anything else for the first few years of getting my nails done

[@ashleyklover]

Thank you for being candid about Miss Mya. I’m currently struggling with my daughter’s temperament and it’s so easy to take it personal. Xox

[@Desaundrea]

Evie’s son is autistic. With Maya having communication issues she may be on the spectrum as well. Hearing Evie describe her violent behavior, I see the same but worse in my 4 year old grandson. He was diagnosed stage 3 autistic ( The highest stage and the one that takes the most to work with) along with a ton of other diagnosis’s to boot. I knew he was autistic when he was a baby, he never made eye contact with us like normal babies do, but now that he is 4 pre- school would be ideal, but my poor baby can’t communicate his wants or needs. Because he screams, he hits when he can’t make the words to say what he wants, but when he isn’t doing the other two, he will walk up to us, grab our hands and attempt to pull us to where he is having an issue. I don’t take it personal and neither does his mother. We are trying to get him therapy, but the insurance is dragging their feet on his speech and occupational therapy alone. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Hang in there Ashley 🥹🫂

[@tasharichmond7488]

Yesssss Cotton Candyyyyyyyy! It used to cost $.59 or two for $1 😂 They used to put a little silver ball in the inside to help mix the polish when you shook the bottle. MmmmHmmmmm……I used to wear it too.

[@genug70able]

Yessss…that silver ball and 2 for $1…shoot you could get 20 bottles ihout breaking the bank. Now I bottle of polish almost $15

[@takeilaf1433]

Me too

[@SlaveDesiree]

That was my first bottle of polish I was allowed to wear in 1980’s!! I have my first bottle still- 40 years later!!! I also always wore the dark gothic red in the 1990’s…

[@Adhd_fairyy]

Sorry about your mama Evie❤ You have a great perspective on it. Thanks for sharing with us

[@reginacline897]

Well I remember those I was a teenager. If memory serves they didn't last 24 hours. If you could get them to stay on for 3 hours you were doing pretty good. Prices may have been 1.95 to 3.95.

[@stateofdisorder1]

Yep 😂

[@lizardwhispererfivehead3552]

Me too girl 😂 But we didn’t know any better so it was about the best there was past the days of psperclips on the end of our fingers 😂😂

[@devo5692]

I cleaned out my grandma’s garage and i found my aunts 90s acrylic kit n it was soo exciting i emptied the old nail tips n filled the box with new gelx extensions

[@michellew97]

Girl, you brought back so many memories! That little brick colored emory board with the black specks! That’s what they all looked like in the 80’s. And so small!!! We are definitely spoiled now!

[@lindasprettypressons]

I was born in 1976 and I remember some of these old commercials for nails products. 💜

[@silverpalm]

The way I grinned when you pulled out the no longer available Super Glossy Taco 🤭 I adore Holo Taco ❤❤

[@MacramedMama]

I remember when I was a kid, probably between the ages of 9 and 12, I would walk down to a pharmacy that was within walking distance from my house with my little brother or my one friend. They had Wet n Wild nail polish, and I think it was two for a dollar or something like that, and also, they had 10 cent candy. I would use my allowance to buy the nail polish in candy so I would end up spending like 5 or 10 dollars on nail polish and get like 10 or 20 nail polishes each time. I had a huge collection at that time.😂😂 then I would get a bag of 10 cent candy. They had the laffy taffy, the ones that were strawberry with the little pieces of sprinkles in it or the watermelon that had the little black candy watermelon seeds in it. I loved those. Those were the days. I also remember the times that my little brother and I would steal from there. I would make him steal me makeup. Obviously, I wasn't being a good big sister. 😂😂

[@alyssarosengard6674]

I was born in the 70s and definitely this is a blast from the past. I tried using the nail kit with the ridge filler, I remember it didn’t work and they popped right off. lol. Thanks for braving the grossness. So funny.

[@mrsnewmoneyboss1004]

Keep the new and different content coming Evie! We love it here! ❤

[@jenniferwhite7450]

I wore some out to dinner once in the late ‘80s with my cousin, trying to look grown, and they keep falling off all through dinner. Lol

[@GeekmomD]

I could never keep them on. I haven't done anything besides glue on or sculpted since because I don't trust the adhesive. The ones in these boxes aged just fine, they were always garbage

[@patriciabaldwin2194]

Press on nails have come a long way from the the eighties the shape of those nails was awful but Evie made them look absolutely cute ❤❤

[@Longhairprettynails]

Yes nails have definitely come a long way. Thank you ❤️

[@sebringlady01]

The 💅🏽 Cotton Candy Nail polish is so nostalgic! I loved wearing this back in the 90s and everybody had it! 😂 the nail salons in my town use to run out of the color so much! Great job Evie ❤💖

[@t.coleman7440]

Can't forget White Opal polish as well

[@eleveneleven11114]

I remember as a child of the 90s going to the dollar store to get press on nails and crazy earrings 😂

[@MaggieMagnoli]

wow! Your audience is such a HUGE range! Some of these memories make me feel like a baby! lol

[@amandajones8101]

Lord I loved some of those press ons when I was a little one!! Born in 78 and I’ve always been obsessed with nails. Now I’ve given up getting them done and just live on BTArtbox nails that are amazing. Hugs and love to you all!!!

[@linden5576]

😱😅 oh my gosh, I used to buy these products, 81. I was just out of high school! Oh, I remember so many of these products.😂😂 😅 I would go down to the five and dime store and I would buy a box of Revlon silk hair coloring for $1.98 to 2.50 a box! 😅 Oh my gosh, that was the good days the good good days😊 On eBay, I purchased an unopened sealed, electronic bingo game! It was old!😅. And it works perfectly. I think I paid like $75 for it but what a find.😊 🙌❤️❤️❤️

[@AdrienneClarke-s3o]

I remember Lee press on nails and Miss Lee press on nails from when I was a kid in the 80's lol. I started on my lil nail journey when I was 10 in 1990 with the little packages of press on nails to the nails and glue from the beauty supply and I'm still a nail junkie to this day.

[@KoolKlawz]

I am so triggered, lmao. These were the nails that made me hate press ons, these and those very first KISS press ons that were always too small. Born in 1973, so I remember them well…and I remember never making it home with a full set. 🤣

[@VoxyPop518]

Born in '73. The only ones I remember are Lee press ons, and the always looked so fake and fell off easily

[@varietiesbyshamyra]

Yes, to the cotton candy polish with 3 to 4 coats. Also yes to a Patty Gel in that color!

[@zoebowler5664]

Do you remember the white pencil for colouring under your nails to look a bit like a French 😂😂😂

O do remember that! Some French tips were all the rage with them.

[@melissasamuelson3523]

Omg! YES!

[@BooCreamy]

I do! 😂❤

[@KathLou]

My mom and granny only shaped and buffed their fingernails - never any polish - but they used those pencils when they wanted their hands to look extra nice! I could never see the difference…

You can still purchase it at Sally's.

[@TheHonniebee]

Pencil shavings scent = 80’s! I could literally smell the past when you said that lol!!😂😂😂

[@Prancer0210]

Love this video. It brings back great memories. Press on nails have come a long way. I remember the Lee Press On Nails too. I was so into those even though they didn't stay on very long. I even tried to make my own press on nails in 2nd grade at school once by putting Elmer's glue on my nails; letting it dry and then peeling it off. I was going to paint them and glue them on when I got in trouble from the teacher for "wasting glue" lol. You did an awesome job putting on these vintage nails. Thank you for the great memories ❤

[@OCDBeautyLLC]

😂

[@dionj6053]

I remember my mom wearing the Lee press on nails for special occasions and being miserable because she couldn’t pull down her girdle without them popping off.

[@amandajones8101]

Yes I used those!!!! I kept thinking they were called Lee but this has me second guessing if I remembered correctly lol. I’m so glad you commented.

[@tarareads23]

@@dionj6053 Yes! Lee Press On Nails were the most popular.

[@litcandles8bubblebaths]

The red hand reminds me of those old school bank tellers from the early thousands. I was born in 93, 31y n this video brought back many memories my cousins used to sell Avon products. I remember getting my nails polished at the Avon seller parties, eating the finger foods. This was a special post, thank you.

these are giving 90s special occasion nails. Love it. I love how husband talks nails and knows what's what at least to an extent. Respecting your partner's hobbies/interests is one of the top signs of a healthy relationship.

[@CountryLivin71]

I never heard of this brand…I was born in 71 and didn’t dabble into press ons til the “Lee Nails” came out…I appreciate the little giggle I got from watching you fiddle with the sticky tabs 😊 ALWAYS enjoy your videos 🤘 Was alittle curious if you have had your daughter tested for Autism? Speech delay is a tell tell sign…my daughter had speech delay as well and was diagnosed when she was three…I put her in pre-k (which seemed to help) but she didn’t start talking until she was five (she is 13 1/2 yrs old now) Have a blessed day ☺️

[@susanmiller4159]

My mom was a cosmetologist. She used those tips with the filler on my nails (1980s). They worked ok, especially for a broken natural nail. Those colors. Oh my goodness! Thanks for the memories.❤

[@genug70able]

Thanks Evie for taking me down memory lane! So, this brought back many memories and it was enjoyable to see you recreate the past. I graduated high school in 1988 and I finished hair school in 1994. That Cotton Candy nail polish came out around ‘96 and it was a favorite of mine too. This was definitely a fun video to watch while I as crocheting! The 80’s and 90’s were the best for beauty and fashion. I appreciate your time and keep bringing us something to look forward to see! I’ve followed you since your beginnings before you had your son and before y’all got married. Such a fan of yours🥰🩷💅 So inspiring to do my nails again😘 BTW..both sets turned out beautiful!!! I was glad to see your husband still supporting you! I’m so proud of y’all…so humbled and blessed🙏🏽✨

I was born in 80. When I was little I was OBSESSED with Lee Press-on Nails. They costed about $5 and didn't last 5 minutes, but every time I had any money, I was going to the store to get me my nails.

[@ziephernius9481]

I also got fired from daycare for not being able to sleep, I couldn't lay still and the adults were verbally abusive about it even though I stayed where I was supposed to. It was missed as a child but in my 30's I found out I'm autistic, which explained so much. It was likely missed for me because I was a girl. Keep an eye on your little miss. If you already have one ND child, the probability is higher that you have two and girls often go undiagnosed.. Also, wow, seeing the vintage nail stuff is like being thrown back 30 years. Very cool.

[@maxlang9600]

I’m a 70s baby. I started out with tape nails 😂 layering strips of tape until it was thick, then polish them. I got my first set of acrylic nails in 87, I’ve been wearing nails ever since.

In the 1990s, I took it out of her jewlery box, and I wore it. I bought the Lee prees-on Nails in the 1980s, and no they did not stay on.

Oh my goodness. Do I ever remember this brand. I was born in 83 and I remember my Aunt would buy these all the time. The red was her color. I can spot those anywhere. She bought super glue not nail glue but super glue to put her on. I rarely seen her without her nails on. I loved this video. 😊

This is taking me all the way back!!! I was born in 82 and I can remember watching my older sister at the dining table doing her nails. I was sitting right next to her with my play nails. I couldn’t wait til I grew up lol. And we were Detroit girls so you know we had to be cute back then 😂.

Me!! I was born in 69 so I did try these back in about year 83 or so when I was a freshmen in high school. So I did try some of the press on like these. But to be honest, by 1986 I was going to a salon and getting them done.
