Whether you’ve played around with press-ons before or you’re thinking about getting pressed for the first time, we got the scoop on putting them on and getting them off from Effie Skourides, manicurist at Green Tangerine Salon and Spa in Boston, and New York-based celebrity nail artist Gina Edwards.
Before applying, it’s important to prep and clean your existing nails. “The best tip is to work on a clean surface, making sure there are no oils or debris on the nail,” says Edwards.
Skourides adds, “Make sure to lightly buff the natural nail with a buffer to prep the nail. Try to avoid a coarse file as this could damage or weaken the natural nail bed.”
And when you’re ready to apply? “The best way for applying press-on nails is to measure the nails prior to application, ensuring that the nails do not overlap the side grooves,” explains Edwards.
Both Edwards and Skourides recommended Impress and Kiss press-on nails, and we rounded up some of our tried-and-loved picks as well, all of which can give you spring-ready nails in a flash.

Press-on removal
And when you’re ready to remove your press-ons, it’s important to focus on keeping your nails healthy. “If you are working with an adhesive nail (not glue) you can easily remove with warm water or olive or cuticle oil,” Edwards says. “This will leave no damage to the nails.”
