“My nails chip. Every. Single. Time. In recent years I’ve just given up. Most of college I went with bare nails, but alas, I missed that extra bit of glam. Enter press-ons. My favorites are Kiss and Static Nails. They are easy and way less of a hassle. I like the variety they offer and [that they] allow me to get a bit creative without adding on extra money or time at the salon. If applied as instructed, they last over/under two weeks. After wearing a pair, I usually give my nails a breather and a thorough clean. I opt for anything from nude square shapes to a patterned stiletto. I also have purchased a full kit of blank press-ons from Kiss to DIY. I’ve recently bought into the nail-wrap game, too. Scratch makes my favorites, from florals to full-on art references. Goodbye, [traditional] manicures.”
