10 Best Brands For Press-On Nails That'll Keep Your Nail Game Strong | LBB (2025)

Let’s be real, not all of us are blessed with nails that grow like fast and well. And even if nail growth isn’t the concern, not everyone has the time or patience to get their nails done regularly, or maintain them for weeks on end. If you’re nodding along, welcome to the club, I’m right there with ya!

Now for the good news: the beauty industry finally heard us and came up with the perfect solution for both nail growth and upkeep in the divine form of press-on nails! As the name suggests, press-on nails are artificial nails you simply stick on. They come in many shapes and designs, some with pre-designed nail art and others plain, so you can customise and paint them however you like.

With so many brands offering these nail kits, how do you know which ones are worth it? Well, keep scrolling for the best press-on nail brands that deliver amazing quality while being kind to your bank account!

Overview

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.
