It's possible that the one star reviews saying they popped off after a few hours or days miss this step or wasn't very thorough in the nail prep or didn't apply enough glue. But This was not my experience. I was so rough on these nails that the size numbers on the inside of the nails were gone by the time I took them off. The color I used was trailglazer and the only complaint I have with them is that because I was so rough on them the shimmer on the nail started chipping off. I don't believe this would happen with their solid nail colors but after 2 weeks of wear and tear the shimmer on the nails did start to lift. Other then that these nails are absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try out more of their colors!

Thick, easy to apply and long-lasting. Mine lasted for two weeks before my index fingers came loose/popped off.I just glued them back on and they lasted another week. At three weeks, my middle finder press-on popped off as I was heading out the door for an event and I just glued on another one. (Ready to change them now though.)I had tried Glamnetic Angel white short almond before and they all cracked and broke off, due to their white color press-ons being thinner than their other varieties of press-on nails.I started with Glamnetic, but these ones have become my go-to for white press-ons. I have ordered three times now and will be ordering for a fourth time!I only wish they came in almond shape!

TL;DR - I could take or leave these press ons, hence the three stars. If you want subtly pretty press ons for short-term, low impact wear and don't mind paying for the brand name, I could recommend these. If you're looking for long-term, rough and tumble wear with a look that packs a punch in any lighting, you may want to at least consider a different OPI design and finish, if not a different brand of press ons altogether.Given the brand is OPI and I exclusively wear press ons, I wanted to fall endlessly in love with these nails and never turn back. The included instructions were very clear and all other components were accounted for.

The included instructions were very clear and all other components were accounted for. The alcohol based prep wipe was even appropriately saturated, which was a pleasant surprise since most press on sets that bother to include one seem to think Mirage In The Sahara is a helpful amount of moisture for a prep wipe. The emory board has a coarse grit side and a buffing side, so I recommend making sure you have your own fine grit emory boards on hand. Determining nail size and application of the nails was quick and easy. I will note here that people with wider/flatter nail beds may find the size 8 and smaller nails feel tight or don't want to lay quite right during application because the molded curve becomes sharper/higher as the nails themselves become narrower.Where these nails began to lose their luster for me-literally and figuratively-was within two days of applying them when the otherwise pretty holo finish began chipping, lifting, and peeling. Some people choose to add their own top coat to press ons to prevent this, but if I'm paying almost $14 for some of the best press ons available, I guess I don't feel I should need to take such a step, nor does OPI recommend it as a tip or suggestion to extend the longevity of their press on finishes. As for the wear time, their suggestion of applying glue to both the fake nail (which is slightly textured and the only press on I've encountered that comes this way out of the package) and your nail bed to extend the wear didn't do anything for me, but it also hasn't for any other brand, so YMMV on that. I had to reapply both thumb and index nails on both hands within five days of initial application, which is unheard of for me after applying and wearing press ons exclusively for over a decade and easily having sets last two weeks plus with little to no intervention in the first ten days. Today is day ten with these nails and four of them are significantly lifting from the nail bed again, which is my limit for continuing to fool with them.OPI press ons aren't a bad product by any means, but I also feel they don't go above and beyond other brands to justify their price, either.

I am not the type of person who usually leaves reviews, even though I do read them. So to take the time out of my day to do something I don't usually do means I must really love these.I have been using press on nails for years and have tried many different brands. I am used to good quality, mediocre quality, popping off and having to reglue etc. I understand though, they aren't professional nails so I don't complain.I have, as of now, been wearing my OPI Press Ons for 7 days with NO pop offs. That is unheard of for me. I type daily and use my hands a lot. I am so impressed with the wear of these nails I can't believe it. There isn't even a nail that looks like it might come off.I will also say that these nails are much thicker than most press ons that I have ... MoreI am not the type of person who usually leaves reviews, even though I do read them.

I like that.When I came to leave a review I couldn't believe the low stars on these. These are by far my favorite press on nails. I am actually going to buy more today! I only wish they had more shapes/designs.If you are a press on nail use, I HIGHLY recommend getting these to try. I wasn't disappointed and I don't think you will be either.

I've used press on nails for over a decade. I've tried several brands and was hoping opi had come out with a great thing since they have a good reputation in the nail market. Absolutely disappointed. After trying to read sizing number on each tip i realized they were not only ridiculously small font but not in sequential order by size?! why?! I should be wearing a '9' and the next is a '55'. I then realized there are multiples of some and not a full sequential set. out of 30 included nails I had some that were drastically too small, or large enough I had to file off a significant amount. as previously stated, I've been doing this along time and I've never had sizing issues with other brands.I purchased these in color 'throw me a kiss'.

It's iridescent but somewhat translucent. I didn't really want them to be seen through but that personal preference. The packaging does however make the color seem opaque. The shape and color were lovely but they are on the thinner side of press-ons. I tend to wear mine very short so this wouldn't be an issue but I don't see long nails in this thickness lasting very long. Because of this issue, filing them for sizing purposes seemed like a bad idea as they would slightly bend as I did so.You may purchase these and be incredibly happy. Shape and color are pretty, but I say first hand, for the money there are WAY higher quality options that are much more user friendly.

These were a pleasant surprise after a recent break from salon builder gel manicures and it's hard to tell they weren't professionally applied!After reading through other reviews, it seems like adhesion is the main issue. In all honesty, I didn't use the provided OPI glue... Instead I used Glamnetic's Brush-On glue (the G.O.A.T.) and applied a thin layer to both the press-on & my natural nail. That technique has these feeling as sturdy as acrylics, even after cutting & shaping/filing them heavily. The curve of the press-on really accentuates my natural nails & creates the perfect crisp skinny square shape. Chef's kiss!My main critique is the lack of variety. There were only 2 of each press-on size & the snake skin nails were only provided in limited ... MoreThese were a pleasant surprise after a recent break from salon builder gel manicures and it's hard to tell they weren't professionally applied!After reading through other reviews, it seems like adhesion is the main issue.

I have gotten my nails done or have done gel manicures on myself for years. When I was pregnant my body changed drastically beyond just the normal pregnancy symptoms and I am now allergic to something in acrylic or gel so I pay the price when I get my nails done or do them on my own with gel. I have been using semi cured and regular nail strips for some time but don't always have the time for that process with a 3 year old. So I started testing out press one and these are by far the best I have tried!! They were super easy to apply, I did use a brush on glue versus the glue that is supplied. They were easy enough to shape as I like more of an almond shape and they lasted 20 days before any lifting!

Press-ons who?
19 November 2022

10000% do NOT look or act like your typical press-ons.I am one that has been spending $100+ dollars every 3 weeks on fills and nail art/ fresh sets and with inflation there simply isn't money for that right now. I came across these in Ulta and had never seen them so decided to give them a try.First impression was that very edgy and trendy cat-eye effect that I've only ever seen them do in salons with a magnet. Let me tell you these babies GLOW. Depending on the light they go from a beautiful purple/gold shift but in filtered light they seem to glow a greenish gold. They are stunning! I went to Nashville with my boyfriend and even he mentioned something about the color change!

I went to Nashville with my boyfriend and even he mentioned something about the color change! The next, and probably most important aspect, was they are clearly tapered at the tips and a little thicker than the area that goes on the nail bed. This is so important for the strength of the nail to help it not bend or break. They even passed the bend press! I could not bend one between two fingers.I had at least 2 people a day comment on them and no one believed me when I said they were press-ons! I am SO impressed with their wear- it's been over a week and still going strong. I will admit I did use another long-term wear brand's glue (in the pink packaging also sold at ulta *wink*) and buffed BOTH my natural nail and the inside of each nail with the provided emery board. I then wiped both inside of each nail and natural nail with the alcohol pad to remove any dust. This helps give the glue more surface area and gives it something to stick to when you rough each end up. However, these nails were half the price as of the other big name brands and wore just as well! Plus these have WAY more options for the girlies who like something more than just short oval options.Hands down recommend! Don't sleep on the tried-and-true OPI!

these nails were STUNNING! i prepped my nails by pushing back my cuticles, dehydrating my nails with alcohol and then used a ph balancing dehydrator from mia secret. i also used young nails protein bond (it's a sticky bonder) to give a little extra grip to the nails (these products are used in gel, gel-x, acrylic application etc to help with longevity. i essentially prep my nails like i'm going to be doing any other sort of nail enhancement). i used glamnetic brush on glue (not the opi glue that came in the kit, only because i prefer to use brush on glues) and painted glue on my real nail AND the back of the press on and held firmly for at least one minute per nail (i like to hold for a long time to ensure that bond sticks well). these nails held up SO WELL. day 16 ... Morethese nails were STUNNING! i prepped my nails by pushing back my cuticles, dehydrating my nails with alcohol and then used a ph balancing dehydrator from mia secret. i also used young nails protein bond (it's a sticky bonder) to give a little extra grip to the nails (these products are used in gel, gel-x, acrylic application etc to help with longevity. i essentially prep my nails like i'm going to be doing any other sort of nail enhancement). i used glamnetic brush on glue (not the opi glue that came in the kit, only because i prefer to use brush on glues) and painted glue on my real nail AND the back of the press on and held firmly for at least one minute per nail (i like to hold for a long time to ensure that bond sticks well). these nails held up SO WELL. day 16 i was ready to remove them because they were really long and i was catching them on stuff, and they didn't want to budge. i actually did damage a few of my real nails because i got a little impatient. but they easily could've gone another week. there was NO lifting or hair catching! i swear, longevity is ALL in the prep ◡̈ the nails themselves fit my real nails pretty perfectly, however there were a few that seemed a bit too curved for my natural shape. i do wish they gave you more than just 2 of each size, because my ring finger & pointer finger are both size 7 so technically i need 4 of that size, but i made it work. i will 100% be buying opi nails again! oh also: i'd say they can be reusable, but the finish on these did start peeling away at the tips by the end of the 16 days, so i wouldn't be re-using them. i also had the shade SWIPE NIGHT! ♡
