With only a couple of weeks left in August, we’re sure you’re getting all your preparations ready to send your kiddos off back to school (if they haven’t started already) and for you to head back into the office full-time *sigh*. We know; we’re not really excited about it either. And with all the things to do, we’re bound to forget about something or not have the time to get to it leading up to the big day. I always forget to get my nails done before heading back to the office or on vacation. It’s not until I’m on my way there that I realize I’m looking at bare nubs for fingers. This is why it never hurts to keep a pack or two of press-on nails on hand (ha, get it!).
But seriously, keeping a stock of press-ons can be a lifesaver. They’re a quick and easy fix to forgotten nail beds or if you’re crunched for time and can’t make it to the salon. Especially nowadays, with press-ons that can look like a custom complete set done by the finest celebrity nail techs on Instagram, it’s never been better. Instead of shelling out upwards of $40 or $50 (is it me, or has going to the salon gotten so expensive as of late?), you can give yourself the easiest manicure in minutes. Below, we rounded up a handful of press-on styles perfect for you (or your daughter) to return to the grind this fall season. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that all of them are $10 and under! So, we’re giving you the perfect price right at your fingertips (alright, that’s enough nail jokes).
Nothing is more timeless than a French manicure. It’s simple yet elegant, the perfect design for any occasion. This kit comes with 28 fake almond-shaped nails, a mini cuticle pusher, a mini nail file, and a tube of nail glue.
These fun daisy-adorned nails are the perfect way to hold onto summer. They have a natural pink base with two or three white daisies, perfect for any age.
But if you’d rather keep it Plain Jane, reach for KISS’s Bare But Better Nails. This set comes in a neutral pink hue, perfect for all skin tones.
Fall back into the jelly nail trend with this KISS Gel Fantasy set. These press-on nails are filed in a stylish coffin shape and are a pretty light violet hue that can fit any aesthetic.
