My favorite part of making custom press ons is matching y’alls hoodie bag to the set! 🥰 Still have a few more odds and ends to toss in here! Also! New press on boxes?! These are so much better than what I had been using and they’re long! Getting some cards made up to fit inside these little guys to add a little spice to the packaging! 🥰 Keep em coming! 💅
Press Ons start at $25.00 as the base cost and then I use the same nail art tier system that I use for gel-x/builder gel clients! All press on orders come with your press ons (most important part), file, cuticle pusher, 2ml of cuticle oil (right now it’s pineapple scented 🥰), two alcohol pads, one buffer and special sticky pads for your press ons so you can wear them again! (I also throw in some stickers and referral cards 👀 Refer a bestie and you both receive 10% off of your next service!)

These beautiful press ons traveled all the way to Virginia on a beautiful person who graduated and finished her masters!! Congratulations 🎓🍾 Thank you for your support and kindness, I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you 🩷
These press ons are a black to silver cat eye with gold isolated chrome 🥰
A belated Mother’s Day mini vlog from my travel appointment! 🩷 Kellie always asks for the most fun designs and I am always beyond stoked to see the end result! Robyn was amazing and so trusting, even trusting me to pick her design - we did a matte navy blue with glossy vertical lines. Something a little flashy, nothing too wild. All in all, this was such a great appointment 🥰
All services do come with a hand scrub/massage! We gotta keep your hands soft and your nails looking fresh 💅
** This was a great example of why foreign removals are a service. We don’t know what other salons are using and we need to see if your nails are okay under that product! Luckily Robyn’s nails were free of greenies which is why we continued the service and gave her a blue-tiful (get it?) gel mani. MMA is ILLEGAL. The use of MMA can cause nail thinning (like what happened to my girl) allergies and sometimes often permanent damage - I’m talking you might lose a nail, or it may not grow back the same due to the rough shape their in causing breakage. My goal is for your nails is for them to be as healthy as possible. This is why I spend so much time on your cuticles, on exfoliating any extra dry skin away and most importantly making sure my tools are sterilized and pouched and that my products that I carry are top tier.

After some elbow grease, a lot of eyeballing and filing - we removed the MMA! Unbeknownst to my client, she had MMA on her nails. These took a hot minute to remove but ultimately we were able to do a gel manicure! 🥰 We did a matte navy blue with glossy vertical lines (super hard to photograph but so pretty) Thank you .gruber for the trust and company 🩷
** MMA is ILLEGAL. If you’re getting your nails done at a salon and the prices are too good to be true, odds are they’re not using the safest products. MMA - methyl methacrylate can cause your nails to be scarily thin, can cause your nail to separate from the nail bed, can cause allergic reactions (skin irritation, redness, itching, swelling etc) and can even make it to where you may develop abnormal/uneven nail growth. **
The reason why a lot of us independent nail techs charge a fee for foreign removals is because we don’t know what’s on your nails. The last thing we want is to slap our product all w***y nilly on top of someone else’s working not knowing if it’s compatible or even a LEGAL product. Once I saw that this product wasn’t even phased by my filing or acetone, I knew and I’m so grateful that Robyn trusted me not just with removing that double bubble like mess but for also trusting me in choosing this simple little design. 🥰
