Press-on nails are having a moment. Just take Maddy’s ridiculously long sets in Euphoria, for example.
But there’s one brand in particular that’s leading the charge when it comes to the best press-ons in Australia.
Cotton On, unexpectedly, has some of the best press-on nails you can get, with one fan in particular taking to Reddit to share their thoughts.
“I’ve been wearing these for the past 5 days. It’s the first time my nails have the “jelly” look that I’m always trying to achieve at the salon,” they shared this week.
“If you’re always on the hunt for new products, I’d highly suggest giving them a try. They’re legit very fun!”

What reviewers are saying
The original poster on Reddit raved about these Cotton On press-on nails in the r/AustralianMakeup thread just four days ago.
“I typically get my manicures at the salon,” they shared. “A few weeks ago, I started trying out different press-on nails. I haven’t been a fan until I found Cotton On nails.”
“Which is bizarre since I’ve never purchased clothing or accessories from them. I’m definitely not their typical customer.”
They went on to explain that you simply spread the glue onto your nails, pop the fake ones on and then cut/file them down until they’re the perfect length.
Others loved the recommendation, with one user saying, “I’ve actually heard good things about cotton on nails before, so will def give these a try.”
“I’ve been using cotton on press-ons for the past couple of months, and they have been staying on for three weeks! I use the Kmart brush on glue, I really like the quality of the cotton on press-ons,” another added.

Another reviewer said they lasted them “about 2 weeks” and were of amazing quality. “Glue sticks on for ages. I can do all my usual daily activities with them.”
