I decided to try on press-on nails
My twin daughters had gotten press-on nails for their birthday, and recently asked me to help them put them on. That's when I first thought of trying press-on nails for myself.
Weeks later, my entire social media feed was full of influencer GRWM videos, and nine out of 10 were talking about their press-on nails. It felt like the algorithm was listening to my brain, and I decided to give it a try.
I bought a pack of 30 nails for $9.99 in a French manicure style to try out. At first, I was absolutely overwhelmed by the different nail sizes (you get 30 nails because you are supposed to pick the ones that better fit your natural nails), and I was ready to give up before I even started.
But I persevered and successfully managed to glue all 10 nails in the correct sizes onto my own nails.
A week later, and several showers in, all 10 nails are still attached, and now I'm looking forward to trying different styles and colors. While I don't see myself wearing press-on nails all the time, they do feel like the perfect solution for when I have an event or want to go into the office.
