Press-On Toenails

Start with clean, dry toes: push back cuticles and lightly buff the nail plate so the glue grips. Size each toe tip, then apply a thin adhesive or glue dot and press the tip from base to tip, holding 10-15 seconds. Because toes are wider and flatter than fingers, a slightly shorter square or round shape reads cleanest and resists edge snags inside shoes.

Toe press-ons shine in sandal season, on vacation, and at summer weddings or parties where open shoes show the feet. Pair a neutral French toe with bright finger nails, or match both for a coordinated set. Avoid long soaks in the first few hours after application so the bond fully sets.
