Facile Nails: An Honest Review

Once I started doing my nails at home I rediscovered press-on nails. I’ve always had pretty healthy natural nails so fake nails haven’t been top of mind, but I love how I can easily transform them from my normal short squoval to long almond. I can’t have long nails for any length of time (drives me crazy typing and general life things) so finding press-on nails that don’t ruin my nails, but also don’t have to stay on for weeks, is key.

About Facile Nails

The headline is that Facile Nails won “Best Press-Ons” from Allure Magazine, which is a highly regarded award in the beauty industry. That is what piqued my interest initially, but I love that they are a woman-owned company located right here in North America.

Facile Press-On Nails Sizes

Facile Nails offers a variety of options in length, shapes, and finishes. The website is a little clunky so it will take some patience to find what you want, but there’s quite a bit to choose from.

What I Bought

I bought two different styles to try. I’m excited to try French Influence which is a coffin/ballerina, medium-length, semi-transparent ombre style. Glazed Donut (pictured below) is perfect as a winter white (which I did) or summer bright. It’s almond, medium-length with a chrome finish.

The cost at the time of purchase was $16-$19 per set.

Facile Nails Press-On Kit Product Overview

The press-on set includes 24 nails in 10 sizes, with multiples of the most popular size. This is key because most press-on sets only include two of each size but my index and ring nail are the same size so usually one slightly doesn’t fit.

Another benefit to Facile Nailes over other press-on sets I’ve tried is that they include both glue and nail tabs. When applying nails with the glue, the nails can last up to two weeks. The tabs can last up to a couple of days, they can be easily removed, and then the nails are reusable. By including both ways to adhere the nails there is a lot of flexibility in how and when we wear the nails!

Everything needed to apply press-ons is included in the press-on kit. Not only the nails, glue, and tabs, but also a file, buffer, and alcohol pad for proper prep, which is essential to making them last.

Results

In other press-on nail brands I’ve tried tabs can make the nail…bouncy, for lack of a better term. I used the tabs and didn’t feel that sensation. The tabs feel more like press-on nails applied with glue, which is great. One thing that is a little unusual is the longer nail curves down a bit, which I think is supposed to give it a more natural appearance, but my natural nails don’t so it looks a bit odd on me.

I had one nail pop off an hour after applying. When I reapplied it with a new tab, it popped off again later that night. I didn’t have any issues with any other nails, so I’m thinking maybe I didn’t prep that one nail correctly. It feels like it’s probably a user error.

Where to Buy

At the time of publishing Facile Nails are only available directly from their website.

Final Verdict of Facile Nails

When I looked at the nails throughout the day, they looked great! I love the option of glue or tabs, but they don’t fit my nails perfectly. I have rather long, square nail beds so even choosing the medium length, and cutting my nails short, I was still able to see some of my natural nails. If you have short nail beds or rounded tips, these would be great!

I won’t be buying them again strictly because they don’t fit my nail beds, but they could be a great option for you!
