12 Best Press-On Nail Sets to Nail Your Next Mani

Press-on nails have come a long way since the late ‘90s and early ‘00s when they all used to be long and square with French tips. Now you can find press-ons in lots of different shapes, lengths, and colors to suit your style. Many of them even come in fun, trendy patterns and designs. 

If you love the look and long-lasting power of gel polish but hate what it does to your nails, then press-on nails could be right for you. The press-on nails of today are easy to apply, come with non-damaging glue or adhesive tabs that are gentle on nails, and can last up to a week or more. Some press-on nails are even reusable so you don’t have to feel bad about tossing them after you take them off. 

Below, we’ve rounded up the best press-on nail sets to get your hands on right now. We’re certain they can help you nail your next at-home manicure
