Press on nails continue to grow in popularity as the technology gets better and better and the designs more varied. Back in high school, I tried press on nails to no avail and wrote them off. I tried them again in recent years, when I needed a fresh set of nails in a snap for New York Fashion Week. I was immediately hooked. The ease of use, the versatility, the options and the price are all appealing. As a beauty editor who types all day, and also tends to break everything in my wake, I needed to find the top press on nails that would stick with me through opening packages, swiping to get on the subway, popping seltzer cans and rummaging through a giant tote. Here are the brands that were up to the challenge.
