💅 Press-On Nails vs. Nail Extensions: Myths, Facts & Benefits

✅ Myth 1: Press-ons are cheap and low quality.

• Fact: Modern press-ons are made with high-quality materials and come in salon-style designs. Many are reusable and rival professional manicures in appearance.

💡 Benefit: Affordable luxury—get a salon look at a fraction of the cost.

✅ Myth 2: Extensions last forever.

• Fact: Acrylics or gels last 2–3 weeks but require fills and maintenance. They can lift or break if not cared for properly.

💡 Benefit of Press-Ons: Easy to replace or switch out without a salon visit.

✅ Myth 3: Press-ons damage your natural nails.

• Fact: When removed properly, press-ons are gentler than acrylics or gels, which often involve harsh filing or acetone soaking.

💡 Benefit: Less damage, no harsh chemicals, and healthier natural nails.

✅ Myth 4: Extensions are stronger and more durable.

• Fact: Extensions are more durable for long-term wear, but high-quality press-ons can last 7–10 days with proper prep and adhesive.

💡 Benefit: Great for short-term events or style changes without commitment.

✅ Myth 5: Press-ons can’t be reused.

• Fact: Many press-ons are reusable if removed carefully and cleaned.

💡 Benefit: Cost-effective and eco-friendly with multiple uses.

✅ Myth 6: Extensions look more natural.

• Fact: Many people use press-ons regularly for convenience, style variety, and nail health.
