New to nails, small hands, these were better than

I haven't worn press on nails very many times in general and I think my finger nails are just shaped a little weird for most that are made regardless of brand. Specifically my hands are small meaning my nails are pretty narrow but they're also very curved when viewed from the tip and curved downward... when viewed from the side. Normally I end up with nails that match the width of my actual nail but they're only stuck down in the middle because the press on isn't curved enough. This also means they don't last as long because they're not properly secured. These were not exception to that but these were better than others I've tried. I did have to file them quite a bit which can be fiddly and tedious - I don't recommend these for anyone with mobility or dexterity issues. Again since the original fit of these was better than others the filing process was still easier. I also typically find that I run out of the smallest press ons. Since I need the smallest ones for my pinkies, it means what's left for my pointer fingers is a little too big, then what's left for my other fingers is also too big because I've used the ones that would fit on the pointer fingers. These from Kiss were better, the ones I was left with for my ring fingers were pretty close in size. The points on these nails were a bit sharp, some of them had an extra flat piece of plastic attached. I used the file to round this out slightly so it was comfortable. The end result was really fun. It was a total change up to my nail shape and look. I loved the iridescent glitters and pink look. I almost would prefer a mani with just the pink sparkle ones, not the stripes. Also I would've liked to have had all the stripes going the same way on each hand but I couldn't get the right combination of nails that fit that would achieve that. These still didn't last long enough for me to think they're worth the effort but they lasted better than others I've tried. Others I've tried popped off just from trying to grab a pillow off the floor within and hour of application. These lasted me the whole afternoon. The first one popped off the night of applying them as I was getting up from sitting on the floor. A second one came off while sleeping (still can't find the nail so I guess that's what it was). After having those two missing I removed the rest since I needed to go somewhere. Some were easy to remove while others were more difficult. One thing I didn't like was the glue was really hard to open. It's small and hard to grip and you have to pull really hard. I was also trying to be gentle at the same time since I didn't want glue to fly across the room. Then once you open it there's a tiny safety seal you have to rip off. This was also really hard to remove. I almost gave up on these twice because I couldn't get the glue open. I have no mobility issues but this definitely would not be good if you have grip issues.
