So, there are people who will query the price of a set of bespoke press on nails. I can fully understand this, we all like to know what we are paying for. Hopefully the following will help.
“£14.99+ for a set of fake nails, why??? Sure you’re just painting on tips!”
Well here’s why. For my press on nails, I use the same quality Flexi Press Tips, gel products and electricity as I use when doing a set of gel extensions in the salon. It’s actually easier and a lot quicker to do a set of nails on a client than doing a set of press on nails plus most sets I do contain 20 tips.
There is a process to creating a set of good press on nails. Each step I complete is important to the quality of the nails produced. First I select the required shape and sizes, next the tips need to be filed, etched and buffed, then they must be cleaned and mounted on the stands, next a layer of base coat is added then cured, next goes on a layer of strengthener then cured, next a layer of builder gel then cured, the builder gel is then filed and buffed to make sure it is smooth, next goes on up to 3 thin layers of colour (this is obviously for the plain colours) these are then cured between each layer, next goes on 1 or 2 coats of top coat, finally they are fully checked over and cleaned before being packed. To package my nails i use quality boxes which i secure the nails in place with double sided sticky tape, i then add a business card and package in pretty bubble bags all then sealed in a postal bag to which i attach the postage label. The above step by step is for a plain set of nails with no added extras.
You wouldn’t go to your salon for a set of gel extensions costing £40+ and query the price with the nail technician, plus these press on nails can be reused with proper removal.
Please don’t compare my press on nails with a set of £5 fake nails from the high street. There is no comparison!
Why press on nails??
Press on nails are a brilliant way to get a manicure just as good as attending a salon booking! If applied correctly, they last the same length of time, your nails grow the same speed as they would with acrylics or an overlay at the salon, instead of having an infill you can soak off and reapply! If soaked off with acetone, your press ons will melt so you would need to apply a new set if this method is used. Your natural nails will be a lot healthier using press ons vs acrylic or gel directly on your natural nails. The price of press ons is also a no brainer! My press ons are all made using salon quality gels and acrylics but instead of having to pay £40+ in the salon for a plain set, a plain set of press ons is just £14.99! AND they can be reused if soaked off using the oil or warm water methods!
