These days, it seems like we have less time than ever to squeeze in a salon visit or touch up a chipped nail, which is why we’re welcoming the comeback of easy, DIY press-on nails with open arms. Not only is this a quick way to get a seamless manicure, but it also takes away the fear of smudging, the stress of drying time at the salon, and the extra fees that come with nail art. The rise in popularity has also made way for new brands to enter the market. Lucky for us, this means the options have become endless, with designs, lengths, and colors tailored to an array of aesthetics. Better yet, if you are a creature of habit, most sets are reusable so you can rock your signature style without breaking the bank.
Before getting started with press-on nails, be sure to prep your hands. All you need to do is clean off any polish, then trim and file to your preferred shape. Ready? Now go explore the 13 press-on nail designs we can’t get enough of, below.
