Prabal Gurung x KISS Collection

Straight from the runway to your fingertips, the limited-edition Prabal Gurung x KISS collection brings Prabal Gurung’s iconic luxury-to-nail design. Inspired by his Fall/Winter 2024 collection, these six exclusive designs offer a touch of glamour for any occasion.

Why You’ll Love Them:

• Ready-to-Wear: No need for complicated salon visits—just apply and go.
• Long-Lasting: These nails will keep you looking fabulous for up to 7 days.
• Gentle & Durable: Safe for your natural nails, but tough enough to withstand daily activities.

How-To Tips:

• Prep is key: Always wash your hands and dry them well before application.
• Nail Fit: Select the correct size for each nail. If you’re in between sizes, opt for the smaller one to ensure a snug fit.
• Push Back Cuticles: This creates a smooth surface for better adhesion, preventing lifting and extending wear time.

Quickies x The Birds Papaya

For those who want a salon-quality look in under 10 minutes, the Quickies x The Birds Papaya collab is perfect. These reusable, press-on nails from the collection deliver a chic, long-lasting manicure for less than $30.

Why You’ll Love Them:

• Reusable: Enjoy your stylish mani again and again.
• Durable: These nails are designed to last, even through the toughest tasks.
• Affordable: Get a salon-quality manicure without breaking the bank.

Best-Use Tips:

• Application Method: Follow the signature Quickies method for a long-lasting hold. Start by cleaning your nails thoroughly with alcohol to remove any oils.
• Reusability: Be gentle when removing these nails if you plan to reuse them. Soaking your nails in warm water helps ease them off without damage.
• For Best Results: Apply a little pressure for about 30 seconds when attaching each nail to ensure a tight, secure bond.

imPRESS Fall Collection

Nothing says fall like cozy sweaters and rich autumn hues. The imPRESS Fall Collection in “Cardigan Weather” brings autumn vibes to your nails with intricate, season-inspired designs. These no-glue nails feature a new and improved adhesive for up to 7 days of wear.

Why You’ll Love Them:

• No Glue: Just peel, press, and go! The pre-applied adhesive makes it the easiest manicure you’ll ever do.
• Autumn Aesthetic: Dark green almond-shaped nails with intricate designs inspired by fall foliage and pumpkin spice.
• Complete Kit: Each set comes with everything you need for the perfect at-home mani, including 30 nails, a prep pad, a mini nail file, and a manicure stick.

How to Use:

• Size: Before you start, make sure to find the right size for each nail. Smaller nails tend to last longer if you’re in between sizes.
• Clean First: Use the included prep pad (or rubbing alcohol) to clean your nails for better adhesion. This removes oils and debris that can prevent the adhesive from sticking properly.
• Press Firmly: After placing each nail, press down for a few seconds to ensure they stick well. Avoid contact with water for at least an hour after application for the best results.
