11 brands that sell press-on nails when you've got no time for a manicure

You may have seen these boxes of press-on nails around drugstores.

You may even have stopped to take a look, admiring the pretty designs and reminiscing how there were similar nails in your beauty play sets as a child.

But, you probably dismissed them thinking that they won't be able to last. Well, you'd be wrong.

Press-on nails have been gaining popularity over recent years, as they're the perfect solution for those who want pretty nails for just a week or even a day.

Depending on your needs, you can either use nail glue or an adhesive to adhere the nail to yours, each one meant to last for a different duration.

The nails typically come in a set of 14 or 16 to account for different nail sizes, so just choose the sizes that fit you best!

Even if your nails pop off during the day, simply carry around a tiny tube of glue or a few sticky nail tabs to fix it and you're good to go again.

Way more convenient than nail polish, where the entire set is basically ruined once a nail chips or peels. Press-ons are also easy to remove when you no longer want them — no need for a trip to the salon where you have to soak your fingers in acetone and all.

Let's dive into our selection of 11 brands with pretty press-on nails, shall we?

If you're on TikTok, you've probably seen Viv Xue's nail videos around as the founder of Pamper Nail Gallery has quite the following on there.

Famous for drawing graphics that look exactly like the cartoon characters they are modelled after (she can recreate pretty much any scene from any Disney, Nickelodeon show or anime).

Just be prepared to splurge though, as her nails do cost a pretty penny.
