Sure, press-on nails can get a bad rap for falling off quickly, looking cheap, or not coming in an array of styles, but we’re here to prove you wrong. The faux nail industry has truly enhanced in the past few years as they’ve come out with more patterns and colors than ever before. They have also become a lot more durable and stronger than those drugstore ones you used to buy back in the day. Stay tuned for our tried-and-true brands that will get you salon results in seconds — minus the time suck of going to an actual salon.
