7 Press-On Nail Brands That Will Look and Last Like an Acrylic Manicure
Having a long-lasting, spotless manicure is no small feat. If you have regular nail polish, you're lucky if it lasts more than three days. Otherwise, you will likely have to pay for acrylics or gel, and you may still notice it chipping or breaking after a week or two. And don't even get us started on the cost of going to the salon.
On the bright side, there is a solution: press-on nails. You can get a spa-level manicure for only $10 with them. They might pop off, but they only take a few extra minutes to repair. We'll let you in on a secret—there are a few brands that can survive more than two weeks. Discover them below.
Glamnetic
Are you hoping to achieve those intricate designs you'll find from Instagram nail techs? Well, Glamnetic is the destination for you. This brand offers everything from trendy press-ons to pop culture collaborations and basic manis. Most importantly, it looks so natural that you might forget they're not your real nails.

Kiss
There's a reason why every girl's first set of press-ons comes from Kiss. They're beginner-friendly and last for weeks. They're also one of the best for a standard manicure look, with no designs, just a gorgeous shade. More recently, they've also launched exciting holiday and seasonal looks.
Olive and June
Are you searching for a press-on you can wear for weeks? Olive and June have lasted us beyond their 14-day guarantee. The brand also has some of the cutest designs for all the coquette lovers and anyone who, like us, swears by a milky white or baby pink nail polish.
OPI
OPI is a nail polish brand we have all sworn by for years. Of course, we would trust them with our press-ons, too. With these products, you can still have their iconic shades, like Funny Bunny and Lincoln Park After Dark, with a flawless shape.
Rave Nailz
For all our fellow alt girls, Rave Nailz is the only place you need to consider. This woman-owned brand offers an endless number of vampy and witchy styles that you can enjoy for nearly three weeks. And the best part about it? Each set is vegan and cruelty-free.

Static Nails
Static Nails is the brand for girls on the go. They recently dropped their pop-on nail line, which allows you to apply an adhesive strip to apply and remove nails easily. It's great if you want to constantly switch them out to match your current OOTD or for a special occasion. There's virtually zero learning curve to using them, either.
Très She
Do you only use long nails? Très She specializes in statement pieces—they even have an ultra-long length to satisfy your cravings. They have every aesthetic you could imagine, from the campy styles from the '00s to modern butterflies and rhinestones.
