It’s been a hot minute since we’ve last stepped into our nail salons for our manis and pedis, and even if it seems like our nails have withstood the test of time over these past few weeks, we have to admit, we do miss having our long claws and toenails being cared for.
As you start to miss the sound of your nails going clickety-clack on your phones and keyboards, there are still options out there for you to get your nails fixed without leaving the house. In this roundup, we’ve gathered a wide range of nail options, from press-on nails to nail wraps, for that instant manicure that you’ve been longing for to tide you through the lockdown.
