The Best DIY Manicure that Costs $10 – $60

Who has been wanting a fun DIY manicure?

How about one that lasts for about seven days and only costs about $10?

Same.

Younger me always had a fresh gel set, older me realized it’s too expensive.

Last year I sat in a salon chair for a gel mani pedi that ran me about $100 (including the tip).

I just cannot fathom paying that amount during the current cost of living crisis, can you?

Looking for Lasting Manicure’s

I have been looking into finding a great and lasting DIY manicure method.

This one is perfect for women who have no time to sit and wait for the paint to dry and who don’t mind reapplying a loose nail every few days.

That is right.

I am talking about press on nails.

Kiss Press On Nails

I have tried a few brands and Kiss is my go-to at the moment.

I love how creative they have gotten with nail prints and I have some tips.

For the gel manicure’s that are listed as “S” and have no print design other than a color or gradient of a shade….

May I suggest cutting it down and filing the nail after you have it glued on. It looks exactly like a proper gel manicure.

For the Kiss nails that are listed “M” and have a print on them…I would leave them as is.

I have gotten so many compliments on these nail sets and every time I tell the person “thanks, they are press on actually.”

They seem to be shocked….maybe they can tell but I will take the compliment.

Here are my favorite finds from KISS.

In conclusion…..

I am loving how fast, easy and affordable these nails sets are.

Not to mention, my nail health is far better than when getting a full gel set.

Have you been loving press on nails?

I would love to hear your thoughts on press on nails.

Is it a vibe?

I think it’s a vibe.

Please note that wearing fake nails back to back may damage your nails.

I reccomend wearing one set through the seven days and giving your nails a break afterwards.

Honorable Mentions – Gel Nails

This past year I tried the Sally Hanson gel kit. The nail polish and top coat are about $10 each.

So for $20, you can have a decent gel manicure for about a day and a half before it starts to chip.

It’s not my favorite if I am being honest, but it does the trick when you have an event.

I do find this to be something I do once every month or once every other week.

Gel manicures absolutely destroy your natural nail.

Gel Manicure – At Home Equipment

My next Amazon purchase for nails will probably be this at – home kit.
