About Loose Nails
Loose Nails is two people testing press-on nails for real. We glue the sets on, wear them through everyday life, and write down how long they hold. No titles, just a hundred sets of experience.
We only recommend sets we've glued on ourselves. If a set held for a short time, we say so. The experience comes from testing and comparing many sets, not from a title.
Most nail sites want to sell you a set. We time it instead. Two voices: Thea on design and trends, Ingrid on technique and hold.
Who tests and writes
There are two of us sharing the sets. We do not review everything — we wear it, then tell you what actually held up.
Thea Haugen
The personal design friend
Thea treats press-on as a lovely complement to your own nails, not a replacement — ombre, chrome, cat eye, babyboomer. She writes personally about how a set suits the hand, never about the hype.
Ingrid Vik
The nail-health & wear friend
Ingrid cares that the nail stays healthy under the set: how long it lasts, how gently it comes off, and how the natural nail stays well between sets. Calm, concrete, no hard sell.
