THIS Is Why Everyone Is Obsessed With Press-On Nails

As the world seemingly spins faster and life gets crazier, everyone is looking to save a little extra time and money–and rightfully so! And it's no surprise that convenience and cost-efficiency have become the biggest trends within the beauty industry. 

And while press-on nails provide both convenience and a lower cost than other nail art options, there's a lot more to the hype. So let's dive in!

Salon-Quality Without Salon-Hassle

While yes, press-on nails are a less-expensive alternative to manicures at the salon, they also save you from a list of other hassles you may experience going to a nail tech. 

If you're anything like me, you a) live far from everything and b) don't want to spend hours reading Google Reviews for every salon within a 50-mile radius. 

When you're going to spend the time, effort, and money on getting your nails done, you want them done right. It's too common for seemingly trustworthy salons to butcher their client's nails, trust, and wallets. Apart from my own negative experiences, I've deep dived into too many stories of women contracting infections, having their nails break/weaken, and so much more due to poor-quality service. 

Press-on nails eliminate those headaches entirely. There's no longer the need for scanning your area for a good salon, making appointments that may get canceled, fearing the worst for the health of your nails, and more unnecessary risks. 

In 10 minutes, you can pop-on a fresh set from the comfort of your home, which was delivered straight to your mailbox. Done and done.

Anytime, Anywhere

Going on vacation and had zero time to get your nails done? Pack your press-ons and do them on the plane, in your hotel, in the Uber.

Have a dinner date but you've been at work all day? Whip out a set and have your nails done in 10 minutes. 

Attending a themed event and want something to match? Pop on your press-ons just for the night and reuse them whenever you'd like. 

Possibilities here really are endless. Without any polish drying time, no fearing smudges, and portable packaging, it's no wonder they've become so popular! 

From magnetic over glue-on lashes, to tinted moisturizers providing one-step coverage and hydration, and now: press-on nails over lengthy nail salon appointments. 

Everything Is In Your Hands

If you lose a nail, get a smudge leaving the salon, or feel a chip, there isn't much you can do with conventional manicures. 

With press-on nails, if you feel a nail start to get loose: reapply the glue instantly.

When you're ready to remove: No foils, complicated processes, or a need for an urgent appointment to get them off. Just soak in water, gently peel, and voilà!

With two different forms of adhesive, you can choose to have your nails on for a few days or a few weeks. If you're indecisive (like yours truly), having the freedom to switch up sets whenever I want is so relieving. 

If you do want to stunt a set for weeks at a time, then you have that option, too! 

Life-Proof

When I asked some friends about their experience with press-ons, most had only ever tried the drug-store brands that you could get for $3.99 with three color options and lackluster results. 

Now? The press-on nail industry has boomed. Gone are the days of limited style options, crappy materials, and unreliable wear. At Manicura, we pride ourselves in sharing stunning, strong, and truly life-proof press-on nails with the world.

Long, grueling days at the office, intense workouts, piles of dishes in the sink, playful puppies, and everything else life throws at you: Manicura is here to stay. 

The Verdict? Press-Ons Aren't Going Anywhere!
