These Press-On Nails Will Give You The *Easiest* At-Home Manicures

I'm a terrible nail biter, so I like to keep my nails painted at all times. However, as soon a they chip (which is practically always the next day), I can't help but pick them to death. Meanwhile, getting a gel manicure every other week is a bit too luxurious for me. Luckily, there's an affordable and chic alternative: easy-to-apply press-on nails that bring the salon right into your bathroom. Seriously, you'll never have to go a day with chipped or unpainted nails again, nor will you have to wake up a nail art prodigy to achieve cute designs.

Before you call me out, I'm not talking about the messy, ill-fitting press-ons of your childhood that fell off right away and only came in French manicure styles. With so many new nail brands out there, you can find salon-quality press-on nails faster than you can break a nail. Beyond looking better and lasting longer, press-on manis also come in a plethora of different lengths, colors, and designs I swear weren't around when I was a kid. You don't even have to worry about damaging your nails. By applying a few layers of clear polish before gluing down your press-ons, your real nails will stay strong and healthy during the removal process.

Even as I write this, all I can think about is tapping my new nails against any surface possible. To achieve the easy, at-home mani of your dreams, peep the best, affordable press-on nails below that'll bring more glam to your everyday life.
