Did you ever find a product or idea that was so fantastic you needed to tell everyone you know and even people you don’t know? Like that amazing dress with the best pockets that you show to total strangers.
Let’s talk about Paint before you Press
Do-it-yourself Press On Nails!
(Girl, I do not care about your digital therapy session. Just tell me what I need and how to do it! Click Here )
The Story.
What if instead of telling everyone I know, I made a website with instructions and affiliate links to support my crippling nail polish addiction? (Yep. I went there.)
My natural nails in Nov of 2023. I was so proud. I had found a shape that works well for me. I was growing them out and shaping them as I went. I had a beautiful canvas to do nail art on!
The inevitable.
By the second week of December 2023, I was in trouble. I had broken 3 nails and had two nails that were deeply cracked. When I broke the first one, I picked up a matching press on set in the right shape. I still had hope! I could save them! Interesting. These new press ons have a jelly glue sticker thing.
Hope is Lost.
The first week of Jan 2024, I cut them all back and applied a full set of press ons with those jelly glue stickers.
I wonder if I can buy these things online and make my own!
DUN DUN DUN
A few hours of surfing the internet later, I had a plan!
My first full set of DIY Press On’s
Please forgive my edges. I was so excited about the color that I took the picture before I cleaned up. Sacrificial Lacquer by Holo Taco.
Wouldn’t it be neat if I could paint these not on my nails?!?

I tried to make do with as much stuff as I had lying around the house. Crippling nail polish addiction, remember.
Thank you for joining me for my broken nail therapy session.
This really is just a silly idea I had that I thought I would share with the world.
