Missing our nail techs during these lockdown periods can be rough to not only our self-care routine but the way our hands look. Those of us who frequent the nail salon just got used to our monthly mani sessions coming back into our lives. But quarantining to stop the spread of the virus is necessary to save lives and for fewer people to be sick, there’s no doubt about that. We here at NBGA decided to try out something that’s been trending since the start of lockdown earlier this year, press-on nails. The ’90s craze was somewhat in a period of hiding before we were unable to go to get manicures, and is now on the rise because of the cost and ease of its usefulness. We’ve found seven press-on nail kits we’re obsessed with for an easy, at-home lockdown mani. Keep reading for more.
1) Chillhouse Chill Tips in Groovy Baby ($16)
When Chillhouse closed down for quarantine earlier this year, founder Cyndi Ramirez came up with a solution. They would begin offering the nail salon’s unique and coveted designs at home. With a capsule collection launching every few weeks, these sell out quickly. Shop here.
