Matte press on nails have taken the entertainment and fashion worlds by storm, fueled by celebrity practices that seem to work like a highly communicable disease before an unsuspecting public. As a result, both children and their mothers now strut the same style. This only proves that luminaries are the best role models when it comes to engineering a shift from a standard aesthetic practice.

While salons and spas are still busy delivering manicure services, there’s a good chance that such a trend may not be for long. Some beauty centers, however, have so wisely resorted to offering matte press on nails as well. At the same time, they have not lowered their pricing per manicure even when the time it takes to finish the job has been shortened exponentially.

Thus, an even wiser salon owner would do well to offer price discounts in exchange for patrons being willing to be serviced with fake nails, instead. After all, it makes the manicurist’s job a lot easier. In fact, it gives the professional more time to get creative with the task such as adding highlights to the press on nails or making sure that every fake nail corresponds to the exact shape and size of the real one.

Basically, a patron has two options when going with fake nails. They can go really fancy, colorful and shiny. The best examples in this category are gloss or satin. The more conservative customers on the other hand, often turn to the matte or non-shiny variety for that subtle or subdued effect.

This other half can turn to shocking colors still, except that there is no shine to the finish. For example, neon colors can take the place of the shine, although this is really pushing it. Nevertheless, the ladies have the option should they want to take some bold risks.

Thus, matte artificial nails don’t need to be dull or unattractive just by taking away the shine. There are still many ways to make a fake nail design beautiful even with sparklers taken out of the equation. Just some of these are flower designs, using the color purple, and having textured fake nails.

And just like the shiny fakes category, the same principles apply when it comes to keeping the nails in place. Just press on and you’re ready to go. You’ll be surprised at how well these nails stay on.

Once they come in contact with water, however, all bets are off. Ten minutes later under soapy immersion and the artificial nails come off effortlessly. Welcome to the new technology. Say goodbye to limited style options and welcome to an infinite variety of palettes to choose from.
