Here are examples of brands I like to use and nails I think look cute!
These are sooo cute for the summer and I love the size range I have small nail beds and these come with nails small enough for me! To get them to last 4 weeks use a glue WITH the adhesive that comes on them!!

Durable thick nails, these are a classic for me they're strong and with a little top coat look just like a salon set!

PaintLab Short Almond Press On Nails, Tortie Tips, Tortoise Shell, 30 Count
