I would say I was skeptically hopeful when I first made my purchase. Press on nails never really fit my nail beds well, and no glue that I had tried could compensate for that. This glue and the nails that I have tried are PHENOMENAL! I have a super active job, I work at a rescue specifically with spider monkeys. I am grabbing, hauling, wet, and basically all of the conditions that would make nails/glue fail, but these nails and glue just keep on going!!!! I have even snapped nails in half, both horizontally and vertically, and the remainder was still on like concrete. Do yourself a favor and try this! You won't regret it!
