Behind BLONDIES

I am a brave entrepreneur who decided to take a turn in her life and launch her own online store, combining my passion for the world of beauty with my creative and entrepreneurial spirit. I have always been a big fan of nail care, a small pleasure that became an essential part of my routine. However, over time, after getting manicures frequently, I began to notice that my nails were weakening and becoming more fragile. This led me to research gentler and healthier alternatives that could keep my nails beautiful, but without compromising their health.

It was during this search that I discovered press-on nails, an option that caught my attention due to its versatility and ease of use, as well as being less aggressive for natural nails. I started buying materials to design my own nails, which initially came about as a personal solution. But what started as a hobby soon turned into something bigger. I realized how much I enjoyed the creative process: selecting the designs, the colors, shaping every detail… That's when the idea of taking this hobby to the next level and turning it into a business came about.

This is how my online store BLONDIES was born, a space that I have created with a lot of effort, dedication and love . My goal is to offer products that are not only beautiful and of quality, but also a healthy alternative for those who, like me, want to take care of their nails without damaging them. Each press-on nail set is designed with special attention to detail, so that my clients can enjoy a perfect and personalized manicure from the comfort of their home, without compromising the health of their nails. My store is more than just a business, it is an extension of my passion for design and well-being, and I am very excited to be able to share it with those who value creativity, style and self-care .

Below I explain what press-ons are, how to put them on and take them off, and why they are an excellent option.

PRESS ON BLONDIES

We provide you with all the information that may interest you before purchasing at BLONDIES

What are press on?

Press-on nails are a quick and practical solution to show off impeccable hands without having to go to the salon.

These nails are available in different designs and sizes, and are easily applied by adhering them to your natural nail.

Plus, they're reusable if carefully removed and stored properly, making them an economical option that allows you to change styles whenever you want.

How do you put them on?

1. Prepare your nails : Clean and dry your natural nails thoroughly. Push back cuticles and file the surface of your nails to ensure better adhesion.

2. Dehydrate : Clean your filed nails with a little alcohol.

3. Apply the adhesive :

Stickers : Place the sticker that is the perfect size for each nail. For better adhesion you can use a little heat on the adhesive with a hairdryer. Then place the press on on top and press it on your natural nail for a few seconds.

Nail Glue: Apply a little glue to the press-on and a drop to your nail, then press it to stick it to your nail. Wait a few seconds for it to dry.

Solid Gel Glue : When using this application method, it is recommended to apply a base coat or hardener to avoid damaging the nail. Take a small amount of solid gel with the press-on and apply it on top of your natural nail. Adjust it well and cure with the UV lamp for 60 seconds or even 90 seconds if necessary. It is more difficult to cure well on opaque nails, so make sure the UV light hits all sides of the nail.


5. Finish : Adjust any excess or shape with a file if necessary. And that's it! Your nails are ready to show off.

How to remove press ons

1. Soak your hands in hot water for a few minutes

2. Use a little leverage to see how firmly they are attached. If they come off easily, remove them by moving them carefully. If they are more secure, use an orange stick to help you pry them up and put them back in hot water. Don't hurt yourself!

3. Remove any adhesive residue that may be on both your nail and the press on.

4. Save them for the next time you put them on.

If you have used nail glue:

1. Soak your hands in hot water with soap and oil for 10 minutes.

2. When you see that the glue has softened a little, move the press-on to loosen it. Use an orange stick and acetone if they are very stuck. Then keep moistening them in water to soften them.

3. Remove any glue residue from your nail and the press-on with water, soap and oil, and if necessary with acetone.

4. Save them for the next time you put them on.

If you have used solid gel glue:

1. Soak your hands in hot water with soap and oil for 15 minutes or more.

2. Put a few drops of alcohol and oil in the gaps between the nail and the press-on and move it around. Use the orange stick to lift it up and keep adding alcohol and oil until you start to remove it little by little. Be patient.

3. Remove any remaining gel with alcohol.

4. Save them for the next time you put them on.
