Not that weโre not a fan of natural nails, but press on nails just do a little something extra โ minus the extra work. For some people, nail salon visits are reserved only for pedicures and depending on who you ask, eyebrow upkeep.
Nowadays, more people are investing in a quick at-home mani that looks sickening but takes very little time.
A lot of press-on nail sets you find can be fairly basic, and thatโs not a bad thing. However, there are a plethora of nail artists who offer up some sick designs youโll rarely find in-store (or that fit your nail size).
Between the amount of pearl and crystal accent nails to the simple, but chic matte almond shapes, thereโs something on this roundup youโre bound to fall in love with for your self-care day.
One thing to note before you purchase any of these is to measure your finger width. A lot of nails you can buy online from nail artists specifically make their nails in several sizes (or even custom).
Grab yourself a measuring tape and get to shopping. Here are some of the sickest press-on nails weโre seriously feeling right now:

Okay, these are pretty but like so many of usโฆ how do you know they will fit? Will they stay on? How well can you apply them?
