Don’t want to go to a salon? Get press-on nails

I choose to do my nails at home for many reasons. One of them is that I feel it is a healthier choice for me. And because I do not want to miss out on having extra cute spring nails, I opt for press-on nails. There are many cute and affordable press-on nails out there. My favorite brands are chillhouse, glamnetic, and of course, KISS. I encourage you to try them! If applied correctly, they can last me up to two weeks without any of them falling off.
