What Are Press-On Nails?

Press-on nails or glue-on nails were extremely popular in the late 90s or early 00s. Essentially, they are acrylic, artificial nails already polished and made up. Users simply have to stick them on top of their natural nails.

Glue-on nails don’t require a long time of commitment, just the simple steps like celebrities in the last few years have really been promoting the products while on set/photo shoots.

Chrissy Teigen is one of those at the forefront of promoting press-on nails on Instagram, sharing that press ons have changed her life!

Glamermaid is a beauty brand offering press-on nails with the most unique and trendiest designs. It settles itself down with the mission of helping customers save money and time spent on salon manicures while not having to sacrifice the chance to rock with on-fire nails! 

What's Special About Glamermaid Press-On Nails?

Each press-on nail set by Glamermaid includes 24 nails and 12 alternative sizes, meaning you can always find one that fits your nail size.

Also, you’ll receive two sheets of nail adhesives - each includes various sizes and 24 pieces, one alcohol-based prep wipe, one manicure buff, and one orange stick helping to attach and detach nails. All essentials you’ll need for a stunning nail look in no time are there!

The prominent advantages that make Glamermaid stand out from the crowd, also the reasons we consider these the best press-on nails, are their reusability, longevity, lightweight, and flexible plastic material that’s just slightly thicker than real nails. 

Glamermaid glue-on nails are effortless to stick and remove (we’ll show you the steps below). Notably, they’re waterproof! You can wash dishes and your hands or take a shower without worrying about the manicure falling off your finger.

The sticky adhesives will not leave much residue on your fake nails or natural ones, meaning you can reuse them over and over again.

All of these extraordinary features make Glamermaid well-known as a beauty brand of the best press-on nails on the market.

How To Apply Press-On Nails

• First, find the correct nail size that sits tight and nicely on your nail bed. It shouldn’t give you any difficulty as there are 12 sizes to choose from.
• The next step will need you to use the manicure file and orange stick.

Use these two kits to gently push the cuticle’s edges and remove the dead skin. After that, use the buff to smoothen your nails’ surface to help the adhesive stick more easily.

While the buff can do a good initial smoothing, yet it’s still necessary to smoothen the nail’s surface with a finer buff later to ensure an even base.

• Next, remove any residue oil and moisture off the surface. Use the prep pad to wipe your real nail, each for 10-20 seconds, thoroughly. Then, remove any oil and dirt.
• Once you finish the preparation process, we’ll come to the adhesion phase - the stickiest part.

The adhesive stickers also come in multiple sizes, so you’ll need to fit them in advance. Remove the stickers from the plastic and press them against the press-on nail’s inner part.

• Fit the fake nail with the applied glue onto your real nail, use pressure to press it, and hold for 15 seconds. Avoid exposing the newly-acquired nails to water within two hours after the adhesion to make them last longer.

How To Remove Press-On Nails

• Soak Your Nails

The best way to remove Glamermaid press-ons is to soak them in a small ceramic or glass bowl filled with acetone-based nail polish remover.

Soak until the glue breaks down and the nails become loose enough to effortlessly pull them off or until they fall off on their own. This method works for press-on nails that you have to glue on yourself and the ones that have the adhesive already on them. 

To speed up the process, you can also use an artificial nail remover kit. Whatever you choose, remember to be patient. If you yank off your Glamermaid press-ons before they’re ready, it could strip layers off your natural nails and damage them.

• Use a Soft Buffer 

If you’re soaking your nails and notice that they’re still not easily coming off, we recommend using a soft nail buffer to carefully remove them. Never, ever pull up the false nails or file harshly.

• Apply a Nail Strengthener

It’s likely that after all that glue and acetone, your nails are in need of a little TLC, so be sure to follow up with a nail strengthener.

After taking off our Glamermaid press-on nails, we noticed very little residue on my fingers. We could remove the rest of the adhesive easily with a nail polish remover.

Glamermaid Reviewed By Beauty Queens

The company says their nails can last up to two weeks depending on your lifestyle. Thus, many beauty bloggers with different lifestyles have joined to test how they can actually last, including those with excessive typing, cooking and gardening hobbies, and curious pets who love nibbling fingers.

An influencer said that she followed the instructions on the back of the first set of short tips, having chosen the ombre rainbow matte nails called Double Rainbow ($11.99) to start her fake nail journey.

She completely removed her old nail polish, washed and dried her hands, and pushed back any cuticles she could see. Then, the rest of the application was pretty easy, as all she needed to do were: 

• match her 10 nails with the 30 included in the box for the perfect fit
• apply the nail glue to both the fake nails and her own
• press them on for about 20 seconds each.

This reviewer chose to file hers down a bit and that was also super easy, as the nails can be cut with regular nail clippers and filed down with the included file.

After about 5 days, she saw one fall off while cooking, so she decided to call this pair quits and simply removed them with a hot water soak and a bit of prying with the included wooden cuticle stick.

So, some notes about the matte nails is that while they look incredibly real, they also stain and scuff easier than the shiny version.

Moving on, another beauty blogger went a bit longer and chose the medium length shiny Through Nebula nails ($11.99) for a change of pace.

She also decided to use the brush-on nail glue instead of the included squeeze kind, and she was wowed as it was so much easier to apply. We’re on the same page with her since we’ve also used this adhesive; it’s really worth investing the extra $10.99.

This girl said Through Nebula press-ons felt a bit more like fake nails than the matte ones since she left them the original length and didn’t file them down.

Also, because they were super shiny, they look more eye-catching than the typical polish or gel on real nails and look, feeling more like an acrylic set from a salon. However, since they were smooth, they didn’t stain when cooking or get visibly scuffed up like the matte.

These nails truly felt reusable, even after the full week the reviewer wore them with none of the nails falling off. That was a feat for her, as she wasn’t gentle by any means and they held up perfectly.

Meanwhile, a long-nail lover wanted to test the long coffin shaped nails called Nude Lines ($11.99), which looked like the most deluxe French mani of our lives.

She was happy that the application was made so easily with the brush on glue, given the length of her new Devil Claws which was initially worth the $8.99 yet only cost only a little more than half of that with a 40% OFF Glamermaid nails discount code.

Yet, because of the length, she was worried that these would last the least amount of time before chipping, but was pleasantly surprised by how strong they were.

Like the Nebula set, since they are glossy and not matte they also hold up to scuffs and scratches, although since they are nude they are more prone to visible stains as with the matte Double Rainbow.

However, for a pink healthy nail look and white French tips, these were a standout set.
