Near Perfect No-Glue Press-Ons

I absolutely love the shape of these, and the deep c-curve that I don't get from other peel-n-stick press-on brands. They're thin enough at the cuticle that I can get them under the pocket of the proximal nail fold, but thick enough at the tip that they don't bend or warp easily and are very sturdy.... The adhesive is very strong on well-prepped natural nail beds, and only extends a tiny bit (or not at all) past the free edge of my very short nails. Other brand's adhesives extend so far past my natural nail that the underside of the press-ons always hold on to lint and debris, which makes me not want to keep them on for more than one day. With this set not having an excess of adhesive, I'm on day four of wear and they're clean underneath. The french tip has held up well to day to day wear and typing, with only the tiniest bit of chipping. This probably could have been be avoided if I had top-coated them after application. I did notice that I didn't have to file the tips of the nails to get the little sticking-out-bit from the manufacturibg process off. Peel, press on, done. Loved it! My only qualm is that the adhesive has a little bit of a pattern to it (which I assume is unavoidable at the manufacturing level), and is visible as small air bubbles under the side walls of the semi-transparent nails. Since the apex of the nail is thicker, there is no glue pattern visible in the middle of the nail; only at the side-walls. Overall 9/10, and I would repurchase again, especially in different colors and shapes and patterns. I really hope to see this line extended in the future.
