Nail trends move fast, and salon art sets are expensive to change every few weeks. That is one reason press-ons have become so popular: you can try a trend for a weekend, wear it again for a party, and switch to something new without filing your nails down. Here are the looks we see most on saved boards and in custom requests right now.
1. Cat eye: shimmer that moves
Cat-eye nails use magnetic pigment that forms a glowing band of light across the nail. Tilt your hand and it shifts. Soft versions in mauve, blush and sage are wearable every day; deeper burgundy and rose gold are made for evenings.
Try: Dusty Chain (dusty mauve with gold chain tips), Born in Burgundy (burgundy with dark leopard spots), Smoky Goldleaf or Still Glowing.
2. Chrome: mirror-shine metallics
Chrome gives a liquid-metal finish. Gold chrome French tips are the easiest way in; full chrome is a statement.
Try: Mirror Gold, Golden Heirloom or the gothic silver of Chrome Venom. See all cat-eye and chrome nails.
3. 3D details: pearls, flowers and crystals
Sculpted flowers, pearls, gold beads and crystal clusters add texture you can feel. On press-ons these are placed by hand, so a set looks like jewellery.
Try: Pearl Shores, The Bridal Vine, Mermaid Cove. Browse 3D press-on nails.
4. The new French tip
The classic white French is back, alongside double lines, coloured tips and gold chrome edges. It suits every occasion and every shape.
Try: The Twice French (double white lines), The Berry French, Lime Character (neon lime tips) or Bare & Better for the original. Browse French tip press-on nails.
5. Jewellery nails
Nails with gold rings, chains, charms and gem settings, like wearing bangles on your fingertips. Perfect with Indian jewellery and for festive season.
Try: Ringed Fingers, Golden Necklace, The Watching Eye. Browse jewellery press-on nails.
6. Prints: polka dots, leopard and tortoiseshell
Playful prints are everywhere: polka dots, leopard, zebra, tortoiseshell and mismatched sets where every nail is different.
Try: Amber Tortoise, Secret Dots, Ten Worlds, Gemstone Gallery. Browse printed press-on nails.
7. Hand-painted florals
Florals never really leave. This season it is watercolour lotuses, porcelain blue flowers and tiny painted fruit.
Try: Goldfish Pond, Porcelain Vine, The Fruit Garden. Browse floral press-on nails.
