Press-on-negler.com is a small site. Two people write here, alongside ordinary jobs, from home in Norway.
We buy the sets we write about, wear them long enough to have an opinion, and publish what we were actually left with. No more than that, and no less either.
This site is run by X Beauty AB. The same company runs the shop xnails.no, which sells press-on nails. It is at the top of this page because you should know it before you read the rest, not afterwards.
In practice that means two things. When we link to xnails.no we are linking to our own shop, and we make money if you buy there. And when we recommend something, we have an interest in the outcome, exactly like any other shop recommending its own goods.
We cannot make that interest disappear, so we try to make it easy to check instead. We write what we did, what went wrong and what we would pick ourselves. If the reasoning behind a recommendation does not hold, owning the shop does not make it hold.
A set gets at least a week on our hands before it turns into an article. We measure the nails, do the prep the way we recommend you do it, and then get on with a completely ordinary week. Dishes, keyboards, gym sessions, shopping bags and one shower too many.
Along the way we take notes. Which nail lifted first, which day it happened, how much glue it took, whether the sizing was right, and what the nail looked like when the set came off. Those are the details that are worth something to you, and they are what feeds the main guide to press-on nails.
We do not count sets, and we do not quote numbers we do not have. If we have worn one set from a brand, the article says we have worn one.
We also never recommend acetone. It dries the nail plate out and leaves it brittle, and warm soapy water releases the glue just as well.
If you find something wrong, or something that did not hold up when you tried it, we would like to hear about it. Write to hei@press-on-negler.com.
