I Ditched Pricey Manicures for Glamnetic Press-On Nails

I’ve been getting dip powder manicures for nearly seven years—or at least I was getting SNS manicures until about three months ago when my nail lady informed me that I should stop. My nails were thin, brittle, and “paper-like” (her words) from years of applications and removals.

Right then and there, I made a vow, to commit to my nail health journey. And while that started with short, all-natural manis for a few weeks, I missed the click-clack of my almond-shaped tips so much that I decided to explore the world of press-on nails instead. I labored over my color decision and settled on a fiery red set from Glamnetic that looked just like my favorite salon shade.

I was immediately struck by how easy it was to apply the nails. Instead of spending hours in the manicurist’s chair, I managed to successfully glue on the entire set in a matter of five minutes. I started by measuring out each nail to find the perfect sizes, and then I applied a small amount of adhesive to my nails and carefully pressed down for just a few seconds. 

Glamnetic Fiery Red Press-On Nails 

The press-ons immediately felt secure and strong, plus they didn’t even require additional shaping. The glossy red finish looked so real that when I showed off my fresh mani later that day, my best friend asked when I started going back to the salon. The almond shape felt sleek and elegant, while the length was just enough without making it difficult to type or do other tasks with my hands. 

Glamnetic nails are reusable, waterproof, and wearable for up to two weeks, according to the brand. (However, I got an entire two and a half weeks out of the manicure before switching to my next Glamnetic set.) 

Shoppers also raved about the press-ons and said they’re “great for those who want that nail salon look without going to the nail salon.” One customer added that the bright red “stands out” so much that they received “compliments all day at work,” and noted that the nails are “tough” enough to “withstand a lot.”
