## Questions

**Which press-on nails look like real nails?**

Every reviewer who described the look gave KISS imPRESS Color FX Press-On Nails a yes (12 of 12), though that's a small group. Chillhouse Chill Tips Press-On Nails (13 of 14) and KISS Core Press-On Nails (15 of 19) come next, with more reviewers behind each result.

**How do I make press-on nails look more natural?**

Size matters here: choose nails that match the width of your own and file down any that sit too wide. Shorter lengths and sheer or nude shades tend to look more like your own nails. Press each nail down close to the cuticle so no gap shows.

**Do KISS press-on nails look fake?**

Not to the reviewers who described them: 12 of 12 for imPRESS Color FX and 15 of 19 for KISS Core said they looked real. Still, 12% of KISS Core reviews call the nails thick or fake.

**Do Olive & June press-on nails look natural?**

Often, but it has the weakest record on this page: 24 of 37 reviewers who described the look said the nails passed for real. Olive & June's own site scores the look higher, at 9 of 10, which we show but don't count.
