If you try one product, make it this £6 press-on pedi that's ideal for toes-out emergencies

A box of elegant touch salon pedi press on toenails next to the glue on a green backdrop.

Fake toenails... I know. It's a tough sell, a big swing.

But think about it like this: most salon pedicures, whether you get gels or shellac or BIAB nails, are not actually paint. They are thick, acrylic resins that are baked into a hard, crispy shell that adheres to your nail. This product is that crispy shell, the difference being that you glue it all on in one go rather than it being applied and UV-zapped in layers.
