According to my TikTok For You page, and also Forbes magazine — an arguably more reliable source — press-on nails are trending. But it’s nothing new, celebrities and influencers have been rocking press-ons for red carpets and daily glam for years because of their convenience.

I’m press-on obsessed, so I’ll tell you why they are attractive to the average person, how to use press-on nails, and my favorite brands.

Why you should get press-ons

Press-on nails offer a quick and affordable alternative to salon manicures, making them perfect for anyone looking to switch up their look with minimal effort. Whether you prefer bold designs or classic neutrals, there’s a set out there to match your lifestyle, and I hope you’ll try them!
