KISS imPRESS Color FX Press-On Nails has the best record (30 of 36), followed by Chillhouse Chill Tips Press-On Nails (23 of 32) and KISS Core Press-On Nails (18 of 28).

**How do I make press-on nails stay on longer?**

Start with clean, dry nails: push back the cuticles, buff off the shine and wipe each nail with alcohol. Pick a size that covers your nail edge to edge without touching the skin, press each one down firmly, and keep your hands out of hot water for a few hours. Fit trips up plenty of reviewers: sizing complaints come up in 18% of Olive & June reviews.

**Do Olive & June press-on nails stay on?**

Fewer reviewers had luck with them than with the other sets here. 41 of 100 said they lasted for days, the weakest record on this page, and 6% found them hard to apply.

**How do I take off press-on nails without hurting my nails?**

Go slow. Soak your fingertips in warm, soapy water or follow the directions on the box, then lift each nail gently from the side. Don't pry them off. If your nails start to feel thin or sore, give them a break before the next set.
