Question

I miss getting my nails done but I dont want to pay alot for this. Who does their own can give me tips?  

Answer 1

I use the KISS press on nails. I’ve never been one for getting my nails done. But what I love is that you can change up the color easily.  

Answer 2

Look into color Street!  

Answer 3

I use Peppi Gel dip powder! Beautiful colors, nails that last, and awesome customer service. Also, you get 25 manicures out of each jar of color! Here’s a $15 off coupon if you’re interested in trying! .

Answer 4

I personally would stay away from Color Street, since it is an MLM. ASP has a great starter kit at Sally for dip nails. I think its around $40 and you can use them with or without tips. The quality is okay but they do last about 2 weeks and do not do nearly as much damage as acrylics. I did that to start saving money too! The $40 I spent on the kit I have been able to do my nails about 15 times now. That $40 would have cost me one set of nails. If you try it, follow the instructions but apply the 3rd step by itself to harden. The instruction tells you to do step 2 and then step 3 but you wont see as good of results.  

Answer 5

These are kiss press on nails I did this morning before work. Took about 5 minutes an they were about $6.

@vuillard about 2 weeks.  

Answer 6

I started using Color Street nails. Im not gonna lie, I would rather someone else do them for me, but. I do love that I can now do them for about $6. And there are so many options.  

Answer 7

I’d still rather get my nails done because I suck at it buttttt I suck it up and save the money and do it at home. If I mess up around my nail I just use a q tip with NP remover and clean them up. Then they look ‘salon-ish’ lol

Answer 8

Color street!  

Answer 9

Stay away from color street. Nothing screams money stealing scam with crap cheap products that are way overpriced than an mlm. If you want little nail vinyls you can get them at ulta and target for under $10. I got a gel nail kit for under $35 but honestly I rarely do my nails. Part of getting my nails done for me is the sitting there and not doing anything lol

Answer 10

I dip mine using lavender violets brand. The first couple of tries were ehhh but then you get the hang of it and it looks awesome

@chimera I like lavender violets. I use their gel polish.

Answer 16

Give pressed nails a try! $6-$7. They last 3 ish weeks and in my opinion, look a lot better than if I was to pay $45 to get them done in the salon  

Answer 17

Kiss Press on and Colorstreet strips

Answer 18

After 3 weeks the nails fell off but polish is great I use a hard as nails as a top coat after strips

Answer 19

I bought gel polish and light to do them at home. I’m going to buy the dip kit eventually that miko recommends to use as well. I haaaaate press ons or any nail stickers. The only way I want them is to literally be real polish/powder on my fingernails.  

Answer 20

I refuse to give up getting my nails done, it is not negotiable.

Also, Walmart has Colorstreet but it’s called Incoco. The same company but the price is less.
