Press-on nails are a total gamechanger when it comes to achieving salon-quality manicures at home.

Not only do you get to stay in the comfort of your own house, but applying press-ons is also way cheaper (and faster) than paying a salon to do your manicure. When applied correctly, press-on nails are nearly undetectable and can last up to two weeks.

Whether you prefer long coffin nails or a short almond shape, we found press-on nails for every style.

How to Make Press-On Nails Last

If you’ve struggled with press-on nail application in the past, these tips help streamline the process and ensure a long-lasting manicure.

Step 1: Prior to application, be sure to file and buff nails. Avoid applying any cuticle oil. Instead, wipe nails with a cotton pad prepped with acetone. This step is key to making them last.

Step 2: Then apply a thin layer of glue, concentrating it at the center of the nail (you need less glue than you think, trust). Press and hold for 20 seconds.

Step 3: If needed, you can file or cut them further to achieve the shape and length you want. An extra layer of clear coat also helps to keep them looking fresh.
