The 10 Best Nail Stickers for a Striking At-home Manicure
Not everyone has a steady hand with a nail polish brush. If you’re looking to elevate your at-home manicures, opting for the best nail stickers over traditional polishes will help you achieve salon-quality results without creating a mess. Designed for convenience and long-lasting results, these game-changing nail strips are made to stay in place with their strong, sticky adhesive, ensuring anywhere from one to two weeks of chip-proof wear.
Available in sets that offer a variety of sizes and nail decals, the best nail stickers deliver the same high-gloss shine as gel manicures without requiring UV lights. Plus, they provide plenty of opportunities to get creative with their array of decorative colors, finishes and prints, which allow you to mix and match for a customizable manicure experience. For those looking to add flare to their nail polish collection, there is a wide assortment of nail art stickers available that can be applied on top of your favorite nail colors and embolden your manicure with their vibrant and trend-inspired designs.

To ensure a faultless application, it’s recommended to prep your nails by cleaning away oil and grime with an alcohol pad. From there, shape, buff and elongate your nails with a nail file, nail buffer and cuticle pusher. When applying your nail stickers, do your best to avoid sticking the nail wrap to your skin as it will hinder the adhesive’s effectiveness. In fact, it’s best to leave a little space between your nail bed and the sticker to prevent this from happening. Once your nail art stickers are pasted down, you can apply a top coat to improve its wear, lock the sticker in place and prevent chipping. Unlike traditional polish, which requires nail polish remover to take off, nail strip stickers easily peel off your nails without causing damage.
