10 Best Brands For Press-On Nails That'll Keep Your Nail Game Strong

It’s no rocket science. The preparation and application process for press-on nails is as simple as it gets, and here’s how you can do it:

1. Start with clean nails: Remove any nail polish or residue to ensure a smooth base.

2. Push-back cuticles: Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back excess skin around your nails.

3. Buff your nails: Create a slightly rough texture on your natural nails for better adhesion.

4. Pick the right size: Match each press-on nail with your natural nail size to ensure a perfect fit.

5. Apply the glue: Put a small amount of glue on either your natural nail or the back of the press-on nail.

6. Press into place: Attach the press-on nail at a downward angle, making sure to cover all corners.

7. Hold it steady: Gently press and hold the nail for at least 30 seconds to secure it in place.

Soezi, one of the most popular brands for press-on nails co-founded by Sonakshi Sinha, is the first name that comes to mind. They’ve made press-on nails look so exciting with their endless range of designs that even someone like me, who prefers to keep her nails tiny and clean, feels tempted to grab a kit or two. From round and oval to square and almond shapes, and finishes like glitter, glossy, matte, and chrome, Soezi has it all readily available. Their kits typically include 24 nail tips, a set of adhesive tabs, and wooden cuticle sticks for easy application.
