]]> Fed up with sitting in the manicure chair for over an hour and spending your well-earned cash once or twice a month? Start using press-on nails! They’re cheaper, faster, and you can change up the color as much as you want. Here are some of the best press-on nails on the market.

Paint Bucket Nails

Paint Bucket is a nail salon in New York that has now produced 10 different styles of press-on nails. Each packet comes with 24 nails, a file, glue, and adhesives. All the nails are easy to press on and will last for weeks, or until you get tired of them and want to try a different style.

Glamnetic

Glamnetic press-on nails have tons of variety in terms of the shape and length that you want. If you like the almond shape, you can find about 20 different designs in that style. There are so many to choose from and they last a really long time.

ManiMe

The ManiMe nails are more stickers than press-on nails, but they last a while. They take no time to apply, and you can change them up as often as you want.

]]> New Year’s Eve is literally days away, which means it is time for you to book your manicure for this special night. When you think of NYE, you tend to think of glitter and sparkle, so you will want to make sure your nail design will complement that aesthetic. Here are five nail trends for you to try to end 2022 with a bang and shimmer.

Black and Silver

You can’t go wrong with black nail polish and adding some silver gives them that extra pop to catch the eyes of everyone around you. The look is both fun and versatile, and will easily match every outfit.

Chrome French Tips

The classic French manicure has been updated and now you can make your French tip any color on top of a nude base. These chrome French tips are becoming a favorite in most manicure salons, giving your nails some extra shine without being too overwhelming.

Rhinestone Embellished

If you want to stand out this NYE then look no further than the rhinestone embellished manicure. They are so stunningβ€”just need to wear a simple black dress and let your nails do the talking.

Holographic Glitter Nails

You don’t even need a manicurist for this trendβ€”find a color you like at your local drug store, paint on three layers, and add a shiny top coat. You’ll be ready to hit the town in no time.

Star Nails

This is another do-it-yourself trend, with the help of nail stickers. Just paint your nails with a neutral base, leave them to dry, and then add some tiny stars and gems for a look guaranteed to make you shine all night.

]]> As far as nails go, many of us have one bad habit in common. It involves pulling at the skin of our cuticles, and in some cases drawing blood. It would be insane to pull at skin anywhere else on our bodies, but it seems as though the flesh around our nails is fair game. 

The cuticle serves as a defence mechanism for our nails, protecting its growth and preventing any deformities. That said, they are dead skin cells and can ruin a manicure if they look dry and ungroomed.

To Remove or Not to Remove?

One of the latest trends doing the rounds is the Russian manicure. It includes the use of an electric filer to open up the eponychium to remove the cuticle and allow the manicurist to place the polish right up to the edge of the nail. However, totally removing the living cuticle can cause it to actually grow back thicker and harder. 

Push Your Luck

To keep your cuticles looking their best, push them back thoroughly and snip only the dead skin that is noticeably hanging. The best time to do this is when they’re soft, like after a shower or soaking your hands.Β 

Moisture Matters

Skin across our bodies needs moisture, so don’t forget your cuticles. Apply cuticle oil and hand lotion, or try the nail slugging trend where a petroleum-based moisturizer like Vaseline is slathered on your nails before bed.
