How To Get Kim Kardashian Flawless Nails In Only 5 Minutes

Sharing is caring!

I should’ve listened sooner.

Especially since I know Kim Kardashian’s been doing it this way for years.

It’s the reason why her manicure always looks so flawless!

The five-minute full set— nails + polish all in one— no drying

The five-minute full set is entirely possible with press-on nails!

Remember Lee Press-On Nails? Their 80’s commercial and jingle was EVERYTHING!

My new COVID normal is doing my nails and toes at home until I feel comfortable returning to the nail salon again. 

My press-ons had just arrived in the mailbox, on time with Prime Delivery from Amazon. Even though my package arrived so quickly, I kept putting off what I thought was going to be a time consuming, but worth it, chore!

Why haven’t I been doing this myself?

Then, one Sunday night, I set a date with myself. I had eager plans with my set of plastic press-on nails!

I couldn’t decide between my usual stiletto style or a short square set, so I ordered both. I’m used to paying upwards of $100 for my nails and toes, including a custom nail design. The order of these two styles cost me less than 20 bucks!

Although the stiletto set of nails came ready with marble-like nail design and a gold glitter outline, I wanted a change from my usual look and chose the short, square red nails.

I also chose to use glue instead of press-on stickers. I wanted a more semi-permanent stay.

These nails were already polished, and I was ready to press go (no pun intended)! 

And just like that— in five minutes I was finished! Looking shiny and new with a brand new full set.

Why haven’t I been doing this myself all along? 

Because as sweet as these nails look, they’re just a temporary fix until I return to the salon again so my nails can go back to looking like this HERE!

 

Why Kim Kardashian's Nails Always Look Flawless

 

Did I mention that over 20 some years ago, one of my first jobs was doing nails? (I’ve done some of everything!)

The Five-Minute Full Set Press-On Nails

 

With that said, here are 7 “handy” nail “tips” for a five-minute full set at home:

1. Select the nail shape and length that you’re used to and most comfortable wearing.

2. Make sure to choose full cover nails and not tips.

3. For nails that stick and stay, it’s best to remove all oil from your natural nail bed by washing your hands and wiping each nail with rubbing alcohol.

4. Then file the surface of your nails with a nail file to increase the glue’s stick and stay.

5. You should select all ten nail sizes and lay them out for a prepared application.

6. For a semi-permanent hold, I also purchased this nail glue HERE. I chose this glue because of the smooth glide with the brush. You paint the glue onto your fingernail and press the nail on— no mess.

7. If your press-ons are a twist-off from a plastic thread, you may need to file away the little plastic edge on the tips. A quick swipe with a nail file over all ten nails takes less than 30 seconds.

    I have been trying to paint my own nails during the lockdown, but I am just really bad at it. This however seems like the best solution for me. I love how easy it is!
