Tips didn’t stay on even 4 hours. Would not buy againlikeI really love the MLEN DIARY press on nail kits, the product im reviewing from them right now is the checkerboard pattern ones. These are the first ones ive gotten from MLEN, and i liked them so much i went and ordered 3 more kits in different kinds of patterns.The nails themselves are thick and durable, and the nail art and designs on them are very durable, theyre not going to rub off or fade like some of the cheaper press on nail art does. These are not the real thin bendable breakable kind, theyre the kind that are a little thicker.The packaging of these press ons is by far the best of any brands press ons that ive ever gotten instore, online, from big name expensive brands, to little cheap dollar store nails. Its a nice thick compartmentalized sturdy case which easily and NEATLY stores all the nails. Ive never seen such a neat easy to use storage case, usually once you open a press on kit full of nails its a huge mess where you cant even get all the nails shoved back into the tiny space, let alone get it to close properly. I honestly have this big huge shoebox where i keep all my press ons in, with each set and its accompanying tools kept in separate ziploc bags all thrown in the box.The nails come in a nice selection of sizes, with a great variety of different nail art on them. Many other kits will only give you 8-10 nails with designs on them, then give you solid one color plain nails for the other 20 pieces. These kits from MLEN are different, they give you alot more nails that have nail art or rhinestones on them along with 2 or 3 different colored basic ones.With my proper nail prep, these nails stayed on for 10 days. If you want any kind of nail to stay on longer than 24 hours you absolutely MUST spend at least a good half hour ahead of time preparing your real nails for optimal adhesion. It doesnt matter if its press on nails, acrylic, polygel, or builder gel- if your not pushing back all your cuticles, if your not removing all the dead skin from your nailbeds and sidewalls then filing the entire surface of every nail- then NOTHING will stay on longer than 24 hours not even the best acrylic. Theres a reason why nail salons waste the first 30,40 minutes of every appointment prepping your nails- if they didnt do all that everyones fancy expensive nails would pop off the very next day. If your not sure how to do proper nail prep please go and watch a few videos on YouTube about it, it will keep these beautiful nails on for 10-14 vs the 2 days theyd stay on if u were to just open up the box and start sticking them on.Along with the nails, this kit comes with a mini nail file, a wooden cuticle stick, an alcohol prep pad, and a pack of the double sided adhesive tabs. With the sticky tabs, i would never recommend using any sticky tab from any company they are nowhere nears as strong as nail glue. Sticky tabs should only be used if you are only wanting to wear the nails for a short period of time.Im very happy with this product ☺️ i loved it so much i ordered 2 more in different colors and patterns. I would definitely recommend this itemThe design on this is really cute. They are all sheer. You get a peachy color, a rusty red/orange color & a leopard pattern nail that combines those 2 solid colors with some gold glitter. They are very thin. They are also very short. They do not come with nail glue but do come with nail gummies. They actually have all of the nail gummies adhesive already on each nail. This can be very convenient if you like using the nail gummies. I do not, because it creates a gap between the fake nail & your nail & makes them not last as long & catch in my hair. I do wish they hadn’t come with the nail gummies already attached as I’d rather use glue myself but maybe some will like that.Perfect size and nice color , They came with a nice and tidy plastic box, the adhesive is strong and fixed on the nails, only there were visible traces of adhesive on the nails, as in the picture I sent, the color of the nails was not clear.As for the nail clippers, their size and length, everything was great for the price.This is my first time using fake nails so I’m not really familiar with other types but I’ve searched a little bit and this type looks more natural and easier to use than other ones.The process was easy, but I still needed to trim my cuticles to have a perfect fit.One thing I didn’t like is the set I got doesn’t have same color or pattern for the opposite fingers.So my left hand doesn’t match the right one because they don’t have the same size ( 2x ).MLEN DIARY Press On Nails Short French Nails feel like hard, yet smooth plastic. They seem like they run small. The 0 barely covered my thumbnail, whereas, I normally use a 1. And definitely short. I will have to cut my nails all the way down for these. They are very sheer and show everything underneath including glue. I love the case they fit into. Will definitely be reusing that. Overall, decent nails, just wish a tad bit longer and more size options.I have ordered quite a few variants of this particular brand of press on nails and they are all amazing. The style is beautiful and elegant. This particular set comes with just the nail adhesive. I do prefer using both types of adhesive, the nail adhesive and the nail glue, so I always have extra glue on hand if the set doesn't come with it. I can get a full 3-4 weeks of application out of these press on nails with both adhesives. The quality is great and they are pretty durable. I wash my hands multiple times throughout the day and deal with a crazy toddler, I have not had any of these nails fall off or break at all.
