My Quest for the Perfect Nails
Longing for the perfect nails? Create your own beautiful nails in less than 30 minutes! No more costly time at the nail salon when you can easily do them yourself at home.
I've always been a little obsessed with my nails and if you're anything like me you have been visiting nail salons for years and are just tired of wasting 90 minutes of your busy life and spending $50 or more on your nails every 3-4 weeks. By the time I tried press on nails I had tried pretty much every type of artificial nail available - acrylic, gel, shellac, solar, silk wrap, and dip powder. I even bought an electric nail drill and a ton of nail supplies at one point and started doing my own gel nails, and then later, dip nails. But once again I got tired of spending 2-3 hours on a Sunday afternoon removing my old nails and trying to make the new set look as good as I wanted them to look. And even worse, if I broke or chipped one I'd have to spend another hour fixing it.
So one day I met a woman who had beautiful French nails and I complimented her on how nice they looked. She seemed a little embarrassed and admitted that they were not expensive salon nails but rather press on nails from the drugstore. For some reason I kept that in the back of my mind for years and decided one day that I would like to at least try them because really, after everything else I had tried, how bad could they be??? So I spent hours looking online and in a few local stores and found very few choices available. But I did decide to buy some just to see what I thought. As it turned out, I was really surprised by how natural they looked and most of all how quick and easy they were to get on and off. And best of all, I no longer had to waste hours of my weekend doing my nails - yay!
Knowing that there had to be many of you out there like me who also love press on nails, or those of you who are trying them for the first time, I created the Perfect Nails Shop on Etsy in 2021. I hope that you'll enjoy browsing the wide variety of beautiful nails that we have available and that you too will find your Perfect Nails! :-) Gail
