Watching your manicure chip away or grow out within days of spending hours or a lot of cash at the nail salon can be frustrating. That’s one of the reasons press-on nails have become a highly sought-after accessory. Not only are they long-lasting (best case scenario: you can get up to 2-3 weeks of wear—no touch-ups required), but they’re also affordable, quick and easy to apply. Since they come shaped, pre-polished and designed, you don’t have to be a professional to achieve salon-quality results.

Now for the best part: With press-on nails, you can switch up your style whenever inspiration strikes. Whether you prefer classic French tips, an eye-catching pattern or texture, there are options to suit every preference. Below, I’ve curated a list of fabulous tried and tested press-ons to elevate and streamline your next manicure—all under $20.
