Suni Lee Wore These $23 Press-On Nails While She Won The Gold

The USA women’s gymnastics team continues to take home the gold—and they’re accessorizing their new necklaces with adorable press-on manis.

Taking nailing the routine to a whole new level, artistic gymnast and rising super-athlete Suni Lee crushed her floor routine and the beauty game when she took the Olympic stage wearing press-on nails. Pairing with her custom Swarovski-crystal leotard (a slay), Lee was spotted in Kiss Salon X-Tend nails in style Pure, which is a sleek almond-shaped French mani—totally fitting for the Paris backdrop.

Press-on nails have come a long way in recent years—and if these bad boys can last through a double layout, then they’re good enough for us to wear to the office. “Press on nails have evolved so much over the years,” says Sally Hansen Partner and licensed manicurist Hannah Lee. “The quality has changed, too! Nowadays they are thinner yet still very durable and resemble the natural nail so you can’t even tell when someone is wearing them.” 

Not only this, but they’re easy to put on and can save you some serious dollars at the salon. I can personally attest to this, too—as I type this, I’m rocking a pair of Glamnetics that are on their second week with no signs of falling off. Want to try your hand at the Olympic-level mani? Read on below for some of our favorite selects.
