Once you press the nail on (and hold for 30 seconds), the glue evenly spreads without spilling out the edges. To avoid getting glue everywhere, I drip a dot of glue on the center of the fake nail, then at the tip of my nail.
#SHORT SQUOVAL NAILS FULL#
After a full two weeks, my nails were still glued on, even after multiple showers, dish-washing sessions, hella hand-washing, and even a dip in the pool, all thanks to the included waterproof glue.īut keep in mind, this glue is super sticky, which can make application a tad messy. In all of my testing, these have far and away impressed me the most when it comes to longevity. Theoretically, if I were planning a one-month excursion across Europe, I wouldn’t even get my nails done before I’d just stick on these press-ons from Static Nails…because they last that long.
I can have my nails and my coffee shop coffee too!” I love that they give you enough for two sets of nails. “They were super easy to do and so far have lasted me almost two weeks with no lifting or popping off. THE REVIEWS: “I was really surprised at how real these nails look when they’re on,” writes one reviewer. Included tools: File, cuticle stick, prep pad, adhesive tabs, nail glue.I chose to use the adhesive tabs and a tiny dab of glue right on my natural nail, which helped increase the longevity and give me a full five days of these nails while I was away on a long weekend trip. But the thinness does make them a lil flimsy, which can limit the length of wear. Just note these press-ons are very thin, which I personally enjoyed because it allowed me to file them into my ideal almond shape (which I did for these red ones). So for me, I just really made sure to push back my cuticles with the included wooden stick to get the nail as close to the edge as possible, which made them fit even better and even helped reduce some lifting when the nails started to wear. “Using a nail that doesn’t fit the arch, aka the apex, of your nail will make it pop off too soon," says nail artist Julie Kandalec. And FYI: The key to ensuring your fake nails stay on a long time is to make sure they fit correctly. I easily found a set that would fit all of my nails, even right up to the edges where most fake nails don’t reach. I have to ~finesse~ most press-ons to fit my nails, but not these. The first time I put these on, I immediately noticed how wide the shape of the nail is, which is legit excellent for my wide nail beds. The nails stayed on and lasted longer than the other brands that I have used.” THE REVIEWS: “By far the best glue on nails I’ve ever bought,” writes one tester. Length: Various (short, medium, and long).Included tools: Nail glue, cuticle stick, nail file and buffer, OPI prep pad.I ended up placing an acetone-soaked cotton ball under a plastic nail wrap for about 10 minutes, which loosened the glue right up and made the nails easy to peel off. Honestly, the glue is so good that removal can be kind of a pain (better than my nails popping off though). Plus, I gotta shout-out the included glue, because a couple dots on the fake nail and my real nail, and my press-ons easily last a full seven days without lifting at the corners-which is a massive feat as I spend my days furiously typing and prying open packages. And they come in so many different shapes, lengths, and styles-I’ve been loving the special effects line for the “glazed-donut trend” nail look, but I wear the OG Funny Bunny set constantly. The nails themselves feel really sturdy, which is why people constantly ask where I got my nails done when I’m wearing these because they look so natural. Since I tried these press-on nails six months ago, I have barely worn anything else, tbh. Our top picks for the best press-on nails in 2023:

But first, let me show you my top favorite press-on nails: Plus, I got all the key tips on how to apply press-on nails and how to remove press ons, thanks to nail artist Julie Kandalec. I began hoarding press-on nail kits and diligently testing every single one, taking notes of which press-ons lasted the longest, which had the best designs, and which worked the best for every nail shape and style-all to help you find the best press-on nails. But I quickly learned that no matter how prepped I was, having the best press-on nails was truly what would make or break my whole manicure. I stocked up on everything I needed: at-home manicure sets, strong nail glue, glass nail files for shaping, and vats of acetone for removal.
After spending hundreds of dollars last year on gel nail extensions, I vowed 2023 would be my press-on nail era.
