Here’s an overview of what happens when I try to grow my nails long: They start looking dirty almost immediately, they slowly move past my nail bed at a snail pace, and as soon as my nails get to a length where chicness is on the horizon, they break. Of course, I could head to a salon for some expertly done nail extensions, but who has the time?
Besides, as much as I love having long nails now and then, I can’t deny that they make typing or buttoning up jeans slightly more complex. What I want is an easy, inexpensive, temporary set of claws that won’t rip off the top surface of my nails when they come off.
Enter press-ons, once hailed by girls in the early ’00s but quickly forgotten, along with low-rise jeans and butterfly clips. Seeing as we’re having an early naughts revival, press-ons are once again back in center stage, this time with a new level of cool and chic that they didn’t have a few years ago. Below, find nine of the best press-on nails that you can plop on and take selfies with all summer long.
