Thank you to L.A. Colors for sending these products for us to try!
These tips are intentionally ultra thin, giving them a lightweight feel and a natural look. They’re also quite shiny. The medium almond shape they come in is a flattering mid-range length - not too long, not too stiletto.
Each box comes with 24 nail tips and the sizes you get in each box is the same every time. Glue, adhesive tabs, alcohol wipes, mini files or cuticle sticks are not included; these are nails-only sets.
Thankfully, there are enough nails in these sets for you to mess up 2-3 nails and still have enough to complete the manicure; the amount of nails and variety of sizes you get in the box is user friendly.
I got the best and longest adhesion with a thicker viscosity nail glue, like Dashing Diva fastbond and applied them to clean, dry nails.

These press on nails do not chip, as the color goes all the way through. You can wear them for up to 7 days, though, they can show wear with the clear coating coming off the tips as the days go on.
To remove these press ons, you’re in luck! Their ultra thin design makes them easy to remove. You can remove them with just coconut oil.
How To Remove Press On Nails Easily With Coconut Oil

Melt a small bowl of coconut oil and place it on a kitchen towel.
Using a cuticle stick, gently lift the press on nail away from the natural nail around the edges around the cuticle line.
Soak your nails in the bowl of oil for 10-15 minutes.
At around 10-15 minutes, dry the oil off your nails with the towel and continue to lift the artificial nails from the natural nails with a cuticle stick. Some nails will just come right off.
Soak the remaining press on nails in the bowl for another 5-10 minutes and using the cuticle stick, lift the remaining artificial nails away from the nail until all press ons are removed.
This method of removal can be used on any press on nails but don’t force it - if a nail tip isn't ready to come off yet, just soak it for more time, pulling it off could result in nail loss.
I like to put on a short YouTube documentary for the maximum soak time of around 25 minutes.
Once complete, your hands and nails will be moisturized and free from press on nails. Wash your hands, throw away your old nails and start prepping for your next set!
If your soaking coconut oil is still somewhat clean, save it for another set. Simply put it in the fridge (labeled) to harden until you’re ready to remove your next set.

All in all, I’ve worn these nails for up to 1 week and enjoyed the process.
What I like most about them is the shape, they’re not too long or too pointy, they’re a perfect mid-length almond nail. They’re also ultra-thin which gives them a natural look and makes them easy to remove.
