Do press-on nails last at the beach?

Press-on nails can last at the beach, but it depends on a few factors. The heat, saltwater, and sand can make them a little trickier, especially if you’re in and out of the water a lot. Here are a few tips to help them last:

1. Strong adhesive: Opt for press-ons that come with stronger adhesive tabs or use extra glue to make them stick better.

2. Avoid soaking: While a quick dip won’t usually cause issues, prolonged exposure to saltwater could weaken the glue over time. Try not to submerge your hands for too long.

3. Sand: Be mindful of sand getting under the edges, as it can lift the press-ons. Try to keep your nails clean and avoid rubbing them in sand.

4. Nail care: If you’re using press-ons that are a bit more delicate, like thin ones, you might want to be careful about any rough activities (like playing volleyball or digging in the sand) that could put pressure on them.

For a beach trip, gel-based press-ons or designs with a slightly thicker build tend to hold up a bit better since they’re more durable.
