Press-on nails for the office are an affordable way to add color to your life without having to worry about smudges, chips, or expensive trips to the nail salon. I don’t know about you, but living on an intern income is difficult if you like fashion and beauty. Honestly, I love nails, especially for the office! The best part is that press-ons have improved greatly over the years and come in a variety of colors. So, you can mix it up and match your outfit perfectly when desired. You will truly look like a million bucks in the office.
Another reason I love using press-on nails for the office is because you can put them on and take them off yourself, basically pain free. I love the way acrylic nails look and feel, but nothing is worse than trying (for hours) to remove those nails once they grow out. Press-on nails are an easy solution to the problems that acrylic nails create.
For press-on nails, my number one tip is to find a quality, strong glue. Many sets come with press-on strips or glue. However, they may not be the best quality. Do yourself a favor and test out the best ones!
