If you've ever used press-on nails, you know that getting the perfect fit can be tough. Apparently, the trick lies in measuring before you glue. Licensed manicurist Kelley Baker tells HuffPost that, "A lot of people skip this step, but fitting the [press-on nails] to your natural nails before gluing them on can really help ensure a durable, long-lasting set of press-ons." This is important since one of the main reasons press-ons fall off is a poor fit.

When measuring your press-ons, they should cover the full span of your nail from side to side and top to bottom. The lower half of your nail should look similar to your natural cuticle as well. If all of this sounds like a hassle, you can order pre-fit press-ons to save time.

Since press-ons don't involve soaking your nails in acetone to remove and require minimal buffing, they're a much healthier option for your nailbed. Instead of wearing down your nails, this option keeps it pretty simple. The nails loosen naturally as well, meaning that they don't require a ton of scraping to get them off. A chic, affordable, and easy option, press-on nails seem to be the obvious manicure choice many people are opting for.
