First False Nails— Tips
The media could not be loaded. Bought the color FALLING STAR CAT EYE and added photo/video as it’s hard to tell what the color really looks like. 💜🩶🦄💿 It is definitely more mauve/silvery pale purple than the pink shown in the 1st photo. They look exactly like the product flatlay photos.💭 OVERALL RATINGS:- Quality: 10/10, looks professional- Ease: 9/10, easy but possible to F up (tips below)- Kit: 10/10, love the sizes and tools, but I used diff glue- Price: 9/10, WAY cheaper than professional acrylics or gels, can’t compare to other false sets- Longevity: ?/10, feels sturdy but will update- Health: ?/10, hopefully less damaging than gel, will updateThis is the first time I’ve used press on nail tips. I prefer to do my own nails, but needed something both sturdy and stunning for an upcoming event, and gel destroys my nails. So far, so good (mostly):✅ TIPS:- NON-GEL APPLICATION ❌ Why do so many tutorials include gel for falsie application?! Here’s what i did WITHOUT GEL: File your nail surface, dehydrate with included wipe, place tab, spread glue over the sticky tab/your nail, and spread glue on the falsie itself. Press together hard 60sec.- FILE THE FALSIES!! ✂️ Choose the nail size that best fits/covers your nail. But FILE THE FALSE NAIL TO FIT!!! I didn’t file on my left hand as the fit seemed good enough, and my thumb in particular hurts a bit where the corner is digging into my nail bed. 🥴 The base of these is square so if you have round nail beds, don’t make my mistake. I filed the nail bed of the falsies for my thumb and 1st finger on my right hand and they are totally comfortable.- ALIGN THE NAILS!! 📐 Y’all, I glued one on crooked 😭 I realized immediately, but it was already stuck down. When you start placing the nail down at a 45 degree angle, hold your hand out and gauge if it’s crooked, then adjust the angle slightly before pressing firmly. (If you glue one crooked, file to make it less obvious)- BEWARE THE GLUE!! ☠️ I used an external brand. This s#%+ is like super glue. I’m serious. I got a tiny bit on my finger as I was pressing down, and it got on the nail itself, leaving a dry patch i could not 100% remove. Also, if you get it on your skin, get your skin away from the nail IMMEDIATELY before it dries.- DO NOT PRESS TOO FAR IN! ✋🏼 On my right hand, I was more conservative with how much I pressed the nails down into my nail bed. They don’t feel like they’re digging in and are way more comfy. Still press them very hard, just don’t shove them into your cuticles.- TOP COAT!!! 🫧 I noticed the layers of the false nails separating slightly when I filed them. I used my normal clear coat overtop and over the tip of the nail to seal everything together, and cover up the little glue scuff on one nail. 100% recommend.‼️ OVERALL RECOMMENDATION:- If you are a nail girlie, I think these will change your life lol. 20$ for a manicure that looks professional and holds up is a steal. 💸- Howeverrrrr…. I don’t typically get my nails done. My nails grow fast and are strong, so I bought these purely for the look. This medium length is the longest I’m comfortable going, and suit a special event more than my everyday life. 💅🏽- For me, I cannot say whether I will do this process again until I see how much of a b%^% the removal is (will update 🫡 ) Honestly, I suspect damage because I’m not kidding when I say the nail glue I used smelled and looked exactly like super glue. I have no idea how I’ll get it off. Im scared 😭🤣 I’ll try again with just this brand kit to compare glues. If these don’t damage my nails, I will 100% use for special events in the future. 💓💃🏻

Not Your Mother's Press Ons
I have been trying to keep my peel- and break-prone nails intact for an upcoming manicure for a special occasion. Having trouble with them unprotected, I looked to press ons to provide a shield. I applied two coats of nail protein and one coat of nail hardening top coat prior to application of these nails.Holy moly! Gone are the weak adhesive stickers of the 80s! Say hello to a strong, jelly-like adhesive sticker that applies easily and held my nails on for days. I only removed them, not because they were falling off, but because it was time to clean them for hygiene purposes. These nails lasted through showers, housework, typing, everything.The nails look great. Fairly natural, comfortable. Plenty of sizes to choose from. Super easy application and simple to trim to length, even when they're already adhered to the nail. Removal was a breeze, too. The adhesive comes off easily after soaking in just water for a bit. Use an orange stick to push it off gently if needed. The press ons can be cleaned with a bit of a soak in warm water and a gentle soap, then use an orange stick to remove any lingering adhesive.My natural nails underneath looked awesome. Totally free from damage and growing healthily. I would recommend some kind of barrier between your natural nail and the adhesive tab, as I did with the coats of polish. I think this was really key to protecting my nails from damage.I just reapplied my nails and am eager to continue to see beautiful and protective results!

Gorgeous Nails, Even for Larger Hands!
The media could not be loaded. I absolutely LOVE these nails! They are gorgeous and of excellent quality, and the square shape is perfect for me personally as my fingers don't taper delicately toward the tips. The larger nail sizes fit my larger nails, especially my ginormous thumbs! 😅 I have issues with growing my natural nails, and although I no longer wear fake nails (going to the salon back when I was working a desk job) now, I need attractive nails for a temporary basis to model my hand crafted jewelry for posting photos and videos in my shop. (search "sculpted rose" shown on my finger 😉) They photographed very well with an awesome twist of interest of the cat's eye feature, and I'm hooked on these nails to use for more jewelry modeling in the future!!! Thank you so very much! 🥰I personally had better luck with the press on glue tabs, simply because of my shaky hands, (I'm no spring chicken 😂) Especially using glue with my non dominant left hand, sloppiness became a problem from the shakes, accidentally getting glue on the top surface, etc. Shakiness was still a problem getting the tabs positioned right but I managed and I highly recommend using tweezers. Hard as I tried with the glue, I still wound up with bubbles, especially on some right hand nails.🤦 But as they popped off, I filed the under side of the nail itself and I gently filed the nail beds to smooth out any dried glue ridges on both surfaces, and I then used the press on glue tabs which are a great alternative solution for temporary wear, really. I only wore fake nails back when I was working a desk job. Afterwards, I started a hobby of perennial gardening and landscaping. I never wore fake nails while gardening, but for info purposes, when using the press on glue tabs for these nails, the nails can not stay secure from the pressures of hard work. Even hand washing dishes with gloves on they'll loosen from the (light) pressure, I imagine. I kept the nails on for 10 days before I got tired of wearing them. Just my own personal quirk. LOL Really, I couldn't be more pleased with the look of these nails with the cat's eye feature!! So unusual! They fit my personality perfectly!! 🥰🥰I love that additional tabs can be bought separately too!The reason for only four stars boils down to several things:1) I would really love to have the same selection of beautiful style choices for the short, square nails that you offer for the medium and long almond and coffin shaped nails.2) A larger selection range within the mid/larger nail bed sizes would be greatly appreciated. They fit well for the most part, but I'm a bigger girl with nail beds on the larger side in need of some slight differences between the right and left hand nail sizes.3) I would like to see a second full set of backups. It seemed as though many (not all) sizes had three matches (??) and with nails like these, with an asymmetrical design, an entire set of backups for both sides of the design in all the nail sizes really is necessary to match the preferred design side of an entire hand set, for the price. 🙂4) I would like to see the nails numbered to be sure I have the right matches for each hand. When getting in to the medium sizes (and smaller) like I need for my ring and pinky fingers, the size differences are ever so slight and it's really hard to tell the matches without a millimeter guage, which most people don't have as I do for jewelry making.5) A bit wider selection of thumb/larger size press on glue tabs would be greatly appreciated. I had to double up to reach closer to the nail bed sides on my thumbs, which I think made them feel unstable, although they stayed in place.Overall these nails are an awesome product for the price! They're strong and beautiful AND reusable! You won't be disappointed! Thank you BTArtbox!! 💖💖💖(Edited and added photos)

Gorgeous and Long-Lasting!
These are absolutely stunning—like a perfect nude with just the right touch of sparkle. Super easy to apply, they look salon-fresh and last me at least a week, even with daily wear. I’ve tried a lot of brands, and this one consistently impresses me with the quality and fit. Love them!
