I've made the indefinite pivot to press ons (as opposed to my usual $150 gel-x mani twice a month) as a cost-saving measure, times are tough. After trying many styles and brands, I've landed on these specific Medium length *Classy* nails from Kiss. The name is corny but they suit my hands nicely and last forever when you prep your nails properly

For years I dutifully visited the salon every two weeks to paint and fill long acrylic nails that were difficult to type with, expensive and prone to fungus. Then, COVID hit. I started going to pool parties at my friend Jamie Nelson’s house, saw her luxe red talons, impervious to salon closures, and learned the secret: press on nails. They look like a full set but are cheap, long lasting, easy to apply and easy to remove when you want to do human things like type your novel or pick up a penny. I’ve tried some fun ones on Etsy but find the best quality nails are made by the brand Kiss and are widely available anywhere basic self-care sundries are sold.

Recently i decided to try press-ons as a way to protect my nails from myself and manage the impulse to pick (#bfrbgang), but didnt know i would be having sooo much fun getting in touch with a sense of glamour and experimenting with femininity in a way i hadn’t before :)

I’m definitely not about that 24/7 Cunty Claw life, but I do live for a good ✨moment✨.
If you want the look of acrylics that you had to sit 3 hrs in an uncomfortable chair and sterile lighting for WITHOUT actually having to do that, get yourself a few reusable custom sets of press ons & your life will be Anew.
I specifically recommend with the adhesive tabs because they’re even less commitment than using nail glue, so I can truly take them off so easily when the ✨moment✨ has swiftly passed.
Nail glue‘s still a great option but if you want to get more than one wear out of the set, you just have to be more gentle and more patient with how you remove the set (boooo)

I love my little NYTimes games ritual (start with easy Sudoku, then medium Sudoku, Connections, Crossword, hard Sudoku, Tiles, and finally Spelling Bee if I feel really locked in). Still, the brain health benefits and fun of these puzzles feel diminished when I realize this is HOURS of unnecessary screen time.
I switched my daily puzzle ritual from online to a paperback, and I have never been happier. I feel so zen doing my sudoku outside like a fucking monk.
