Hey guys! Ashley Elizabeth here with AEHM artistry and I want to try something
a little different today. I want to try press-on nails! I did a little poll on my
Instagram stories and Twitter, and you guys said you wanted to see it
overwhelmingly yes! I don't even think I got any "no's". And well, I'm here to serve
you that tea and you can find out our press-on nails back or should they stay
in the past?! And is this a good holiday 5 minute manicure, that's a really quick when you
have a party to run to but you need something to the last few days! Well
keep on watching and we will find out!
*Intro Music*
So what I picked up for the press-on nails is the China Glaze and it's called the
Glam Finale! How dramatic. What it says, it says it comes with 28 pre-glued nails
and different sizes. So, I don't know if that means there'll be multiple sets, at
least two, or if they just have a bunch of different sizes so it fits. And in its
one-time use? But we'll find out today, together, won't we? This video is inspired
by somebody on instagram, and she's on YouTube too, and her name is @Cpresso.
I'll link her channel in the description box, I don't really remember. But she
keeps posting on her Instagram stories these press-on nails and they're
beautiful! They're from a brand called
Nail Bliss and you can find them at Sally's. So, I went there, the supply was a
little bit low, so maybe people are liking it? And I didn't see colors that I
liked. But there was a China Glaze display too and they were featuring a
bunch of different press-on nails. Which basically, I looked at the
directions of both and they were basically the same. And then I actually
went ahead and looked up on Ulta and I saw that the China Glaze press-ons
were available there too. So I was like, that's a little bit easier for people to
find if they like what they see here today. They can find them in Sally's
or Ulta or whatever. If you like the China Glaze.
I'll show you the package that I got.
Pretty glitzy, pretty glammy.
They don't have like a specific shade name on there but they do call them
short squoval. And they are like a white and gold pretty like little set.
So I wanted to do something a little bit different today. I've done it in a couple
of my videos but what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna pop a little screen
right up here showing you what I'm doing as I'm going. And show you exactly, you
know, what I'm reacting to and then what is going on on my hand.
And it also makes for a more speedy video, as well. So as you can see right
here I'm gonna take off the nail polish [already on] really quick with acetone. What it also
says to do, on the back, you clean & make sure you remove any kind of nail polish
that you have. And you can go ahead and shape your nail, so if you want to trim
up or file on or whatever. Then you make sure to clean your nails with polish remover.
So if you don't have nail polish on it recommends still using nail polish remover at
least to take off that kind of oil base, that we all naturally have.
It says to actually push the cuticles back with a cuticle pusher. I actually really like
these little orange wood sticks, right here, because they're disposable.
And I can actually clean under the nail, as well. So just a little side note there.
You get these orange wood sticks at Sally's also. Actually says to go ahead and buff
your nails. Sorry my buffer has gotten some nail polish incidents on it. So
don't judge too harshly! And just buff off the top shine, very gently. You don't
want anything too rough. Alright, nails are all prepped! Let's go
into this bad boy, shall we? Try to slide this package out nice, as to not spill
everywhere.
Ooo, thats so pretty. And so there's some on the backs, some for
display, and some on the back.
This creeps me out...these are totally creeping me out!
I don't know if I've ever done press-on nails before? I just can't remember...I'm sure I
have...no, I did! I did for my sister's wedding and I didn't cut them and they
were so long! Okay, this was like 15 years ago before
long nails were a thing. And they were, like...they were crazy...they were crazy.
I don't know if they were square or pointed, they're probably square. And they
were awful, but even then, even then I knew. I was like this isn't fabulous!
I should have cut them! Looking back in pictures, I'm like, talons! And I'm like, I
don't know, 13 years old or something. It was a little intense! Now it would totally be
in style! Back then I was like eww...
So select a nail that matches
natural nail size, place the nail at the base of the cuticle, and press down
firmly. That's it? I don't need to peel anything? Weird.
This is so....oh yeah, it's a little
sticky. You know, I don't like that I have all this powder here. So I'm gonna do a
quick swipe of the acetone just to be safe. That's what I do before I do my gel
nails and my gel nails, that I do myself, tend to last me a good two or three
weeks! So, it's kind of like the similar prepping. These are supposed to be
press-on gels, so let's just do a quick swipe! Just to take off the rest of the
residue. You're kind of like basically drying your nails out so it has something else
stick to. It's kind of nerve-wracking to sit here and pick. You pick the shape but
then you don't want to press down until you know. Yeah, it's super sticky. Yeah,
definitely not okay. I can't tell what order this goes in. I think these are a
little jumbled, you know. You're gonna think that. See it doesn't...exactly...good.
that's too big....no...so I want a smidge bit smaller....
Yeah. That's too small.
That might be good, but it's kind of weird. You can kind of like still see the
edges, right there. Okay so let's try pushing it back and press down firmly.
And I'll press down the base. Oh these are longer than I thought they were gonna be.
Huh...interesting. Whoa, I have some little mini talons today! I like the shape of
these though. A lot of the other ones were square, which I'm totally used to
wearing square that's fine, but I'm kind of curious to do a slight almond shape.
And and these are looking to be a little almond-y. Let's see that looks good
because they have a little bit of...space still...I just...that is gonna bug me. Like,
that's a dead giveaway, but for far away okay. Okay so, that was pretty easy. It
feels like it's gonna lift...no joke. They feel like they're gonna I'm gonna catch
it on something. I don't know. I should've went with the brand that I saw
the girl recommend. Oh, and they're all so, they're all different designs! Have to be
careful here with what I wanted to do. So, that's a size two...
Okay, so why don't I just go ahead and do the other hand...see they have little
sizes on it. Hold it up up, you can see it little sizes. It's literally press on. I don't know, I
just thought it was gonna be more complicated. And this is not, but I don't
see this lasting longer than a night. At least running around after my toddler.
Looks like a good size, so that was number four. I got tiny fingers too by the
way. So, it doesn't look like this is
more than one nail set. Cuz you know not all of them fit and there's all the
different sizes. Feels like I'm wearing pistachio shells on my fingers!
Great now its stuck on there! Yep gotta commit to it now, no turning back now!
There's like a little shelf I can see in the inside. So, that seems like the water
would get in there and everything. Wonder if you're supposed to trimmer nails all
the way down, if it would be better... Whatever moving on! That one's like...oh
not really...not really perfect fit cuz I can see my whole side. Hey that, if I can
get that one off...I'm committed and it's not a good commitment! No! Okay, this is a
little scary. Okay, I guess it's committed... I guess that's just gonna be on there.
Okay, just push that back down. Aww, those are baby ones, oh my goodness! So, it has
to be a four...we're coming into a bit of a conundrum now! Because...nope, we should
have measured them all and lined up all of them before applying them cuz now I used that
one. And that needs to go on that, and that needs to go on that. And I wanted to do
was over there but this doesn't even fit my nail. And it only came with a couple I
know that fits! What...Okay so this was a little... I should have mapped this out a little
bit better...yep, this is the first impressions video, for sure! Yeah okay, all
right. Look at how different they are. They...two different..so that's the same
that's the same, those are not the same, those are not the same. Okay, so my two
middles are not the same. Like how can I fix this? So, I might be stuck with that....
I did it...I took it off! I don't care I just, don't know what number that one was! It's
like a perfect fit probably...like this one...that's a little better.
Right? That's a little better. Anything's... yeah, because then that's matching. So the
only one that's different is the middle one. So, unless I want him try ripping
that off too...what the heck let's just try! I got the other one off, so maybe I
could get that off! I don't recommend peeling them off! What I
recommend doing is laying them all out and puts aside. Like try to gently like
rest them on your nails, without pressing, I just like committed! I was like oh
that's good and put it down! And then I didn't map it out because these are all
different colors you get. If they're all the same color, it's not gonna be that big of
a deal. But these are fancy. Oh okay, some stick. Okay, so now I need to find...we're
back in business! Okay figured it out! Alright so, now what
I'm gonna do, cuz I'm a nervous Nancy that they're all gonna come off! I'm
gonna stay here, I'm gonna press them for a second. Press them all around, push them
down, push them down, they've definitely stuck a lot stronger than I thought they
were going to be! That was...it's pretty hard taking them off!
Alright, there is the whole set right there! Okay, here we go let's see...so they
look pretty in camera. Like in camera I like...you wouldn't really be able to tell,
like especially far away. But in person, they're not terrible...okay there's a little
bit of space. But this is my first time, though. So I might be able to perfect
this a smidge bit, as I go. There is a little bit of space where I could have
put them closer to the cuticle. So you can see right here. Like right there. That
area I could definitely put closer to the cuticle next time, if there is a next
time! We'll have to see how these puppies do. My fears, my greatest fear, is that I'm
a snag something & its is just gonna rip off! And my whole nail's gonna come with it! So
I'm a little worried about that! Uh, so I will update you guys. You know where I
like to update you! I like to update you right down in the comments below! So you
don't have to search too hard. You can also find me on social media and I will
link everything down in the description box. You can find me really easily there.
And I always show you guys like on snapchat and Instagram stories like how
things are holding up. So I will definitely let you guys know how long
these stay on until they just start coming off by themselves.
Their a little rough...wah...I don't like the tips, they didn't..like...I guess I
could try sanding them down. Let me try cuz they look weird. Ugh! I hate
filling my nails! Even if I do it myself! Oh yeah, that's better!
Alright, especially these glitter nails. You're gonna want to do is take a file
and go around the edges cuz they're kind of pointy like from manufacturing.
They have a little points on them, at least where these China Glaze ones. But
I'm super freaked out about ripping my nail off!
*Nervous laughter*
Wish me luck!
Captain's Log...it has been five hours since I applied the nails...
and one fell off!
I was doing dishes after cooking dinner, and it was just a casualty later,
later on. So, I think that the water started to
dissolve it. About to hop in the shower and hopefully they don't all come off!
The good news is there was 28 of them, so I found one that matches the size that I need. So,
I'll just reapply that in the morning. And if I lose any other ones. So I would
recommend, if you do want to try these out, bring the whole set with you. So you
could just really quickly reapply it. Sp I will say, this is good if like you have
to go to an event and you are the type of person that wants to have their nails
done no matter what. You can pop these on really really quickly and go. If you're
really gentle with them. I would just say you know they're not gonna be like a
week-long manicure! At least not the way that I perform. So that's what I'm saying
so far. We'll see how long the rest lasts. If they all fall off before I upload I
will be right here letting you guys know that. If they lasted after an
upload, then you can go down in the comments and see how long they lasted me!
Just want to update you guys!
Alright you guys, hope you've had some fun
playing around with these press-on nails with me today! If you're gonna try them
out, let me know! If you are a connoisseur of press-on nails please give me a girl
some tips, and remember that this is my first time so be gentle...don't judge too
harshly! And I kind of just threw myself right in there and didn't really have
patience, I just popped them on. So I definitely learned a couple things in
the meantime. Like place them all out ahead of time. Don't commit until you
commit because you committed. And it hurts to rip it off! So, alright you guys...
hope you have a lovely day! Thank you so much, bye! XOXO
