i have a tip when you are ready to remove your nails put some acetone in a sandwich bag and then fill a bowl with warm water stick the bag in the water put your hand in the Ziploc bag it works wonders and speeds up the process of the removing

[@KatieMarie]

Omg, that’s an awesome tip!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@christinajackson2662]

That. Is. Genius!

[@darlenecooper6963]

It works my co- worker told me this trick

[@strent1752]

Hi I myself tried this, unfortunately for some reason it managed to wreck my skin. Only finally now settling 3 weeks later.

[@alc1403]

Thanks so much 💗

[@yolandavang8765]

Just a little FYI from a licensed nail tech, you're not damaging your nail surface if you buff with a soft grit buffer. This is actually needed to make sure nail surface plate is smooth as well as to take out the shine from natural nail to have more grip. Great video overall with tips and tricks!

[@KatieMarie]

Thank you so much for sharing, that’s good to know!

[@aditi3333]

Are press on nails pretty damaging overall? I want to do these as opposed to going to the nail salon. But I don't want to ruin my nails

[@aditi3333]

@Ema Korumi Thank you, I'm really excited about these. I don't have time to go to the salon and don't want acrylics again.

Your tip about trimming the sides...THANK YOU!!! I feel like I’m the only one with baby size nails because you’re the first person I’ve seen say this.

[@kristinowens899]

You're actually lucky, my nails are so wide it makes everything difficult, and just doesn't look nice at all, so I have to file the crap outta them.

[@Exxylux]

It’ works! Lmao. Hoped it worked for u. Also even if u get real acrylics for 2-3 weeks, it helped my real nails grow ! I’m using press ons cause I’m bored and don’t wanna go to salon!

THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@Stephanie.922]

Thank you for this video. Any suggestions for tiny nail beds? Does dashing diva have different size sets?

[@tinamayhle3512]

Thanks for sharing!!!! Another tip for your manicure to last a little bit longer......buff your natural nail I believe with a very fine grit file it ruffs them up just enough for the glue to adhere better and it will last longer!!!!!! also I don't know if you ever do acrylic but check out nail career education her name is Suzie she is amazing and has alot of great tips..... I was just watching her last night and she was saying that you should buff your natural nail even when you are polishing it helps with the polish stick better!!!! and you just got a new subscriber!!!!!

[@KatieMarie]

They don’t have different sizes for nail beds, that I am aware of, but I find dashing diva press on’s to be the smallest ones I’ve tried!

[@KatieMarie]

Thanks for sharing that tip Tina!!

[@InfiniteMidnite]

I’m a chronic nail biter (stress) but saw the impress nails in another video but no tutorial. I ordered them this week and I’ll watch this again to help me because I’ve never worn press on nails. Thank you so much for the tips & thorough tutorial. I can’t wait to try this

[@KatieMarie]

It’s a bit of an adjustment when you first try on nails - it’ll feel different. But you quickly adjust and then it’ll feel weird to have them bare, lol. I love how I have an extra layer of protection for my nails!

Awww thank you!! 🙈 so glad it was informative!🤗

[@markiestephens8741]

I’m OBSESSED with these!! I love how thin they are and the short ones honestly just feel like my nails. I forget I’m wearing them & it’s been two weeks! I agree good prep = longer wear. It’s not a quick process for me, but I enjoy the self care time. The fact that they can be trimmed & lightly filed is probably my favorite thing about them. They can really be personalized to fit length & shape which is the best! After removing, I pulled the glue off the nail and saved bc they can def be used again with nail glue. The thinness & breathability is top notch. It hasn’t effected my way of doing things or dented the nails to open cat food cans, fight with a car seat buckle, wash my hair, etc. I also hold at a 45 degree angle & just slightly press toward my nail bed/cuticle to get the most natural look as well as ensuring its tightly down at the base. If not, hair can get grabbed under it which is frustrating, but an easy fix & nothing bad about the nails, just a learning curve. I also love using the gloss strips on my toes! I can do two toes from one strip if I cut it in half before peeling off. I also use cuticle scissors to trim off excess, then file under my nail to prevent creasing of the strip. LOVE this brand!! Thanks so much for all the tips!! I like to think using your tips are the reason mine last 2 weeks and longer.

[@KatieMarie]

Thank you so much for the sweet comment! So glad you like the nails as well, they’re sooooo good! I’m such a fan of Dashing Diva! And I’m so glad some of my tips were helpful!

[@lucyinthesky4682]

I'm so happy I found this video. I can't thank you enough. I had metastatic bone cancer and the chemo took a huge toll on me. I stop getting my nails done at salons just to stop any additional damage to my body. I'm in remission and decided to go back to press on nails. I recently saw and purchased a pretty set of Im Press nails but I don't like the glue tab so I haven't used it because I was thinking I would peel it off and treat it like a regular press on and file my natural nails and glue it. And your video you used both! And I thought that was clever. Then when you said about the nail damage, it was just perfect. And also about the trimming the sides of the nails, never thought of that. I would use it once and throw them away but that's such a great idea. It's the tiniest of things I'm so grateful for now. It made me immensely happy. I can't wait to do my nails and still keep my healthy natural nails. 😃

I love the Kiss Impress nails but now I want to try the Diva ones. I also use Super Glue. The one i use also has a brush. I just keep it in my work bag in case i have any repairs to make during the day. I'm on a computer all day and these nails last about 10 days. I also use gloves while cleaning and am careful. I'm very pleased with them! I remember Lee Press On Nails from the 70s. LOL. They barely lasted an hour.

Katie Marie dashing diva is my ride or die #1 fave! The nails are a tinge small but I size down when between sized so it’s cool, & I can get 10-12 days off a set w glue. When I replace the rogue nails who start to work loosened I don’t use glue bcoz I don’t need them to wear as long & I did my index finger/thumb w no additional glue just used their glue pre sticky adhesive & have stayed on good I just prefer to glue mine for the long haul. Pink nail glue works best i was doing original super glue but I prefer pink nail glue got to be pink kind regular nail glue sux but the pink is the best. Forget regular nail glue lol 😂

I hope it helps! Also making sure to push the nail into your cuticles and press down firmly before pressing the rest of the nail down will help it get a good seal at the cuticle and keep the hair-snagging away for many days

I hear you. Acrylic are really interesting and you can do any styles imaginable but they rip my nail beds to shreds so no more acrylic

[@virginiamercun9597]

I tried Dipps and that is what affected my nails. My nails need a break. If this works which I think it will, I'll go for a manicure every few weeks until I get better at this and then will continue to use the press on because they are attractive because sometimes I would like that extra something.

Yay thanks for the video! I have been using impress nails and dashing diva for 4 months now I love them they last on me for 7 to 10 Days they are the best.

[@KatieMarie]

Yay, that’s so awesome to hear! It’s so fun to change up your manicure, isn’t it?! 🤗

[@denissegoatcher-avila3113]

Very nice, professional length & glam! Nice job! More than 10 days might not be the best idea because of risk of fungus. A tip I have found that keeps them looking sharp is a layer of clear nail polish to protect the finish/ designs longer.

[@KatieMarie]

That’s true, I didn’t think about the risk of fungus - good to know! Thank you for the tip about the clear polish, I’ve never thought of that!

[@denissegoatcher-avila3113]

You are welcome! How has it been working out for you?

[@virginiaterrazas1283]

I do wear Kiss nail and I don't have a problem with them. FYI yes filing your nails before glue does work but it had for cause fungus in my nails. So just be careful and mindful.

[@KatieMarie]

Ah yes, I don’t personally file just because I like changing up my manicure. But thanks for sharing!

[@JaymeLW1]

Really informative. I like how you compared the different brands. Have you used the Dollar Tree nails?

[@KatieMarie]

I have not! But I actually picked up a fun pair and want to see how I like them 🤗

I'm going to get some of those the next time I make a 2000 pt purchase at Ulta. Thanks for all of the info

[@KatieMarie]

Yay!!! They have both impress and dashing diva at Ulta now!! Hope you like them!

[@italiani41]

I don’t why, but whenever I go to buy press on nails ( Ultha, CVS, Walgreens. Wallmart) they don’t have them at all, or just one or two designs. Silly, because on my opinion they are better than other brands. They hold much better and for a longer time.

[@Texasgirl10]

Best press on nail video ever!!! Ty! 💕💕💕

[@KatieMarie]

Aww thank you!

[@LoriRyan-ct5lz]

I have never tried press on nails, but after watching this video, i definitely will try.❤

[@KatieMarie]

Oh awesome, I’m so glad it was helpful! Have fun!!

[@RozeBeauty318]

Great video. I've heard a lot of great things about Impress and Dashing Diva. I'll have to check them out. Right now I've been obsessed with the Sassy and Chic press on nails from Dollar Tree. Have you tried those? They have some super cute designs and they are only $1.

[@KatieMarie]

I have not tried that brand, but I recently grabbed a pair at Dollar Tree to give it a try. Curious how I’ll like them! 🤗🤗

[@RozeBeauty318]

@@KatieMarie Yes me too. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts. 😊

[@gferreira6030]

I love your video! Just a tip for you: I notice your thumb is more square close to the cuticle, so if you file the press nail in a more square shape it will be closer to your cuticle and hide your nail better than it is. I have to do the same, but it works! :)

[@KatieMarie]

Oh, thank you!! That’s a great tip! I’ll need to try that 🤗

[@galemonterio5261]

Gladys Ferreira hey thanks ....good to know ....I’ll have to do that too since my nails are wide and square at the cuticle 😊

[@virginiamercun9597]

Very helpful. I took my dips off because they weren't staying on. My nails are breaking because they are very weak. I was afraid to use the glue with these, but with these instructions my nail beds won't be damaged. Thank you.

[@KatieMarie]

Oh yeah, these press ons won’t damage your nail at all - in fact, it helps my nails to grow stronger because the fake nail protects it!

[@LorraineJG]

I paint clear nail Hardener over these press on nails and that helps them to last a little longer

[@KatieMarie]

Ohhh, I’ve never thought of that tip!

[@abigailnr]

Im obsessed with press ons! And all my girlfriends love them too. Most sets last me 10 to 14 days. I've used different brands and had good results 90% of the time. One kiss set just wouldnt stay on and I kept having to re glue them but the other sets have stayed on just fine

[@KatieMarie]

Aren’t they just SO much fun?! 🤗🤗🤗

[@aleesofia544]

When i started watch these now i started using press on nails cause when i go to salon its expensive love you❤️❤️

[@KatieMarie]

I’m so glad I could help!

[@griffinmeyerson9247]

I love dashing diva!

[@jdice6868]

The longer natural nails help the press-on nails last longer primarily because there is more surface area to which the nail can adhere. I saw someone begin with her thumbs in a video. It's good you mentioned it's better to leave them for last. They won't set properly if you're using them to press the other nails on. She also added cuticle oil and hand cream right after she finished getting the nails on before they had a chance to set at all. This will allow the oil and cream to compromise the adhesive. It's no surprise the nails started popping off after a day and a half. She didn't have the benefit of your experience. Your viewers should fare better! I'm curious to try the Dashing Diva nails. If you work with them, please suggest a variety of shapes and lengths. With press-on nails, I can rarely find anything except short and square. I buy the Kiss nails for variety, but the Impress for those times I'm going out and need my nails done in a hurry. Thanks for the video!

[@KatieMarie]

Thank you so much for commenting! I’m such a fan of press ons I wanted to give all the advice I’ve learned over the months of wearing them that helps them work better 🤗🤗 I don’t work with Dashing Diva currently, but if I ever do start to work with them, I’ll definitely mention a variety of sizes! Thanks!

[@Browneyegirl_13]

Hi I agree with you on this one. I prefer using the plain longer press on nails. I find that if u buy the pre painted there's only 12 in a box. Im from SA and I bought plain square press down nails R70 for 200. So I have a nail stand and will start painting 15 at a time. Like 15 red then 15 camo colour so by doing that and 1 pops off you don't need to sit and paint its all done. I prep my naels then I buff my own nael and the inside of the false nail with my efile they sick better to a rough service then I apply glu only to the inside of the false nail so that my own nail still has a bit of roughness from the buffing and then stick

[@Browneyegirl_13]

Do you have ur own KZbin channel

[@brigittetanner9244]

I just follow the directions on the impress nails and they last me until I take them off usually 10 days to 14 days, I've Never had one poop off . The only reason I take them off this soon is because the grow out catches on my hair..

[@KatieMarie]

That’s so great!!

Happy to help!

[@MakeupByAnnki]

Ive been obsessed with press on nails for the past year and a half😍😍 But i go for the hand made ones from brands like Perfectly_Nailed, The Nailest ect. They make incredible nails and it looks like ive gotten acrylics done at the salon. But ive actually gotten 2-4 sets of nails for the price of one salon set where i live😍💅✨

[@KatieMarie]

I’ve never tried handmade ones, but I’ve been looking at some. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@Kashley86]

I always do my own nails with these press ons, & in my experience the Impress nails have never lasted more than a cpl days without falling off even if I add additional glue.

[@KatieMarie]

Oh really? That Stinns! So What’s your favorite press on nail brand?

[@rose-pu8mo]

My firsts set lasted a week for me. I just put the second set on and half of them fell off since I didn’t prep them

[@galemonterio5261]

Well you can’t do gardening or construction work with them🤣 for sure......

[@lymaribreen384]

It was helpful . I haven’t use press nails since high school the use to sticky stuff on them. I will be using them now

[@user-tb7iz1vf7p]

Doesn't Impress say to not wear longer than 7 days? Thanks for this review.

[@KatieMarie]

I’m not 100% sure, but I thought I remember them saying 1-2 weeks

[@mibashful61]

I’m going on a budget I usually use the dip at Walmart’s do I need something cheaper and just as durable

[@KatieMarie]

I’m not sure what “the dip” is at Walmart. Is that a product/nail kit they sell?

[@mibashful61]

Katie Marie no it’s at a nail shop the dip is a powder

[@KatieMarie]

Ohhhh, okay, I got you. I haven’t had dip done to my nails, so can’t really compare the two. But these press on nails are surprisingly durable

I love Dashing Diva. I perfer the gloss strips though. Those last on my for 2 weeks. I have tried the press ons, and they wont stay on longer than a few hours. I was so bummed, bc they have so many adorable styles.

ashlie beardslee where do you find the gloss strips to purchase?

[@ashliebeardslee6150]

@@pennyscolorfullife they have a great selection on their website, however, I have bought them instore at Sally Beauty Supply or Walmart, but their selection is limited.

I tried the gloss strips and while I enjoyed them, they didn’t last as long as press ons for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I love that they have both kinds and both are such good quality!

[@riyabhatti24]

Question, how do they hold up while washing your hair?

[@jillyfae4895]

I wash my hair 2-3 times a week (use a cleansing conditioner) and rely on dry shampoo for the other days. I can wear ImPress for 2 weeks without any lifting or them coming loose.

[@KatieMarie]

For me I don’t notice my nails catching in my hair until after a week of wear. Then I’ll feel them catch a bit when washing my hair, but usually not anything too annoying until nearer the 2 week mark 👍🏼

[@kristinanns]

No mine don’t but I glue mine on. I can get up to ten days (could get longer but I want to change by then!!)

[@charlotteknutsen7262]

Very enjoyable video, new subscriber. Over the last few years I've struggled to find the "medium" length nails in the press ons. The usual short length don't really fit me. I have noticed however too that stores such as Ulta are starting to carry my medium length press ons. So I've felt excited about that as my only other choice was to go for the glue ons. Over the year using the glue ons has really wrecked havoc with my natural nails. Thanks again for your video.

[@KatieMarie]

I’m so glad you found the video helpful!! It’s been a journey finding good press on nails, but I’ve been so happy with Dashing Diva and Impress Nails - I’m able to do my nails all the time now!

[@palomino5223]

If there is a lift of these anywhere, the edges and cuticle areas are susceptible, just gently pull up enough to apply clear nail polish and press back down. Works wonders...

[@KatieMarie]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@valeriesjourney17]

She does... It was near the end of the video 😎

Yes, I wear gloves every time I wash dishes or clean the bathroom, etc. but they still last well with some water because I wash my hands a lot and do shower/baths several times a week

I have colored my own hair, given myself mani/pedis done EVERYTHING MYSELF EXCEPT cut my own hair. I only go about every 8 or 9 months for that as well! It saves my family so much 💰 money! What I am trying to say is, I have used the KISS brand press on nails for probably 19 - 20 years or so? I LOVE THEM! Yes, they have upgraded their product a couple of times (I usually cannot handle when companies do this, but this was definitely for the good!). I sometimes use the glue it comes with, but more often than not, I buy a bigger KISS brand glue separately with a nail polish brush (if that makes sense) because it’s bigger and easier to handle. I can always get my press on nails to last eight or nine days every single time!

[@KatieMarie]

That's awesome to hear!
