Nails are back in a big way — InsiderBeautyBuzz

In the spring of 2020, I spent A LOT of time exploring home-based hacks for all of my usual salon-based personal maintenance. These included hair color (no success), waxing (ouch), facials (do-able), chemical peels (yes), injectable alternatives (nope, didn’t happen) and, of course, manicures and pedicures. In fact, I purchased a set of red, mid-length press-on Static Nails but never used them because I didn’t actually go anywhere for months.

I have literally gotten one manicure since the pandemic began—because my BFF’s daughter’s bat mitzvah (no further explanation needed). In the weeks since, I’ve compiled a collection of mani inspiration photos because I think I want to try something more fun and unique than a solid color. Then the news broke that Olive & J une one of my favorite nail brands) was getting into the press-on game.

Available in 24 Insta-worthy st yles in four lengths and four shapes (many of which are similar to my inspo photos), each set comes with 42 nails so you are sure to find the perfect fit. (You also get a prep pad, non-damaging glue, a wooden cuticle stick and a 2-in-1 file/buffer.) And if you want to go all in, check out the Press-O n Syste m that includes your style of choice and everything you need for perfectly natural-looking fake nails, including a nail clipper, file, buffer, a deluxe double-sided cuticle pusher, cuticle serum, nail strengthener and removal kit—all housed in a cute carry-all pouch.
