Press-on nails should be considered beauty minimalism. They’re easy to use – at least some are. They cost a fraction of the price – no surprises there. Plus, they take just a few seconds to put on and make you look like you just came out of the parlor.
After experimenting with several brands, I put my fingers on genetic nails to find out why every other Instagrammer is all praise for this new beauty hack.Â
What Is Glamnetic Press On Nails?Â
Glamnetic Nails is an easy-to-use press-on nail kit. It helps you make flawless nails at home. It’s all true. I put it to the test and can confidently say that you don’t need to visit the salon anymore… at least not for making nails.Â
It certainly helps that the Glamnetic press on nails comes in several exciting colors and designs. These include creme de nude, moonlight, sprinkles, gold truffle, bobba, etc. While I only tried Moonlight and Nebula for a week, I can tell they’ll definitely last for over a week.Â
The cost of the kit ranges anywhere from $14.99 to $21.99 in the US. But, the fact that these nails are reusable adds to their utility. Compare that with the $100+ you have to spend on a set of acrylic nails you can get from a salon, and you will know what I am talking about.Â
According to the manufacturer, these press-ons are made of a combination of UV nail hard gel and acrylic powder. If true, I can see the utility when you combine the strength of acrylics and hard gel into a single product. But, my personal experience says otherwise. More on that later!
My package of Glamnetic reusable press-on nails came with 24 different nail sizes, a nail filer, a cuticle stick, an alcohol pad, and nail glue. That’s a lot more than what I expected, to be honest.Â
How Do Glamnetic Nails Work – My Honest Review
The manufacturer says these nails can last up to two weeks, depending on your lifestyle. I love typing, sometimes nib at my fingers, and love cooking as well. So, I was curious how they’ll hold up since a normal mani lasts only about a week at max.Â
I followed the manufacturer’s instructions to start my fake nails journey after choosing my favorite moonlight nails. I removed all old nails, polished, washed, washed again, dried my hands, and then pushed back any cuticles I could find.Â
The rest of the application was pretty straightforward. Simply choose your 10 matching nails for a perfect fit. After that, apply the glue to all fake nails. It’s super easy because you can cut them with regular nail clippers and file them down to get the right size.Â
The nails felt truly reusable even after a week of use. While they look incredibly real and natural, they also started to chip and stain. Provided, I was often cooking with turmeric and other yellow spices.
I wanted to try medium-length and slightly shiny options in the second week. Therefore, I went with Nebula. I used the regular brush on nail glue instead of the included squeezable one to apply these nails, and wow! The application process afterward felt even easier.Â
These are shiny nails; even after a week of regular use, they didn’t stain. I didn’t notice any fall-off or any sign of scuffed-up nails. They held up nicely, and that’s quite a feat because I never go gently on my nails.Â
