Good press on nails

I usually get powder dip but they have barely been lasting me 2 weeks lately and I can’t justify the cost. Can anyone recommend good press on nails?

I’ve starting using the semi-cured gel wraps. I tried stick on gel nails but they came off after about 3 days. The gel wraps have to be cured under a lap but they last about 2 weeks and also don’t damage your nails when you take them off.

BTartbox and Glamnetic both on amazon. They last me 3 weeks and soak off in warm soapy water.

I don’t have a particular brand but I started off buying some on Amazon at £6.99 a set on the JMeoWio shop. They work pretty well though I also put a single coat of gloss/strengthener on them too.

Ive used glamnetic and holy grail nail. Its probably more to do with the glue than the nails though. I have a brush on glue from amazon but find it doesn't last as well as the squeezy tubes that come with the nails I think because the squeezy tube goes on quicker. I always carry a tube in my bag too for emergencies. Takes 10 seconds to fix a fallen nail.

I use the extra short nails and still find these quite long but maybe I have short nailbeds.
