Press On Nails

For women and transgendered people all over the world, press on nails is a quick fix to short and stubby nails in a pinch. For people who bite their nails, or simply cannot grow them as long as desired, the press on nail is ideal for at home or professional use.

For cross dressers, it is sometimes a hard day explaining to someone who does not know about the secret life, as to why your nails are abnormally long as a male. For this purpose, press on nails are easy to use and discard when needed the most. A full set of acrylic nails would be a waste in situations like this, when the usefulness does not outweigh the rumors.

Press on nails can be done at home using the glue pads that come in the package, or even super glue or nail glue bought at a beauty supply store. To make sure they adhere properly to the natural nail, file lightly across the top of the nail to create a rough surface. Now fit the dry nails to your natural nail to find the best fit for each finger. Once this is done you will want to break the nails off of the cartridge they come on. Begin by filing the edges where they were once connected to the cartridge lightly to appear as a real nail. Apply the nail glue or pad on top of the natural nail and wait for 5 seconds. Now place the press on nail onto the natural nail and hold for 1 minute. This will secure the nail in place and you can polish or leave them as they appear.
