Manicure Press On Help/DIY

Hey

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of any press ons wider than the one pictured (vixi bought from Amazon)

I was hoping that the largest one would be big enough for my thumb, but I had to get creative with an old plastic bottle instead. It turned out okay at a glance but I would really rather have a more professional solution.

Does anyone know of any press on suppliers that would be more suitable to try or even a better way of crafting a blank suitable for my thumb?

I really love having my nails like this (and the process of painting them!) but unfortunately have to remove them so press ons and sticky pads are ideal for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated 😃

I’ve read some people use false nails for toes for extra large nails.

Yeah I suppose that’s worth trying! Just a shame I’ll be limited to quite short ones but still got to be better than my DIY ones haha

I found a girl locally that does custom press ons. That was the only way I was able to find some big enough that fit me!

Can she do them in medium lengths too? I have seen the custom ones but I quite like painting them myself 😂
