I took this picture ages ago, and I’m just finally getting around to posting. As I’ve blogged about before, I’m always snooping around dollar stores looking for weird stuff. Imagine how excited I was when I came across Lee Press-On Nails!
As a child of the 1980’s, I can remember these things and how popular they were. But, I have to ask: do women still use these? I remember my mother would buy me packs because I wanted nails just like she did. Bu those little glue pads? They don’t work. Maybe my nails are abnormally shaped, but, they were about as effective as gluing a brick to the wall.
Below, I’ve included a video of a truly 1980’s commerical for these nails. As for them not snapping off her finger? They must’ve surgically attached them to her for the commercial.

I used to get these all the time too as a kid! They never fit my nails properly either but maybe it was because my hands were too small then, I’m not sure. They were terribly awkward and always came off but I was still just as excited the next time I got them. I remember I used to try to push them sort of under my cuticles so they’d look more real, then my fingers would hurt for days. I was such a dumb kid.
LOL, I too remember those!!! mine always popped off and then remember how they didnt always fit your nail correctly? like mine went over on the sides and I was like these are totally my own nails..lol I thought I was so cool.
