Like having a beat face and hair that’s worthy of a double-take, making sure that your nails look top-notch at all times is one of the essential elements of a true glam diva. Some women don’t want the commitment of acrylic or gel nails. Some balk at the expensive price. Or some are simply just hesitant to try out something new. Whatever the reason is for opting out of artificial nails, look no further! An oldie but goodie nail alternative is back in modern form.
Press-Ons Are Back?!
Yes, that’s right ladies—press-on nails are back (some would say they never really left) and better than ever. The modern versions are available in the ever-popular stiletto shape that has dominated the nail industry for the last few years. The best thing about these press-on stiletto styles is that you can pick them up at a variety of retailers and many are $5 and under, with the rest costing no more than $10, with the exception of a few.
With so many holiday parties and functions coming up, experimenting with no-fuss press-ons is fun, festive and requires little commitment. We already told you about the Christian Siriano X imPress collection and you ladies loved it! Check out our round-up of some of the best press-on stiletto nails we think you should give a try.
