"I was skeptical at first, but these nails are honestly elite. Nobody believes they're press-ons." As seen in ELLE.

With thousands of five-star reviews, and features in Instyle Magazine as "the Best Press on Nails in Australia", the tik tok viral nail brand Glowie has quietly become the press-on brand women reach for when they're done with the salon. So what actually makes these different from every other set you've tried? Here are twelve reasons why women are converting to Glowie.
1. You get salon nails in ten minutes, not two hours
A gel manicure means booking ahead, sitting in the chair for two hours, and losing half your Saturday. Our starter set has everything you need for salon-perfect nails that last up to 3 weeks.
2. Easy Application & Gentle Removal
1. PREP your nails with the tools provided in the kit
2. APPLY your choice of adhesive (sticky tabs or glue)
Glowie nails are quick to use, lasts up to 3 weeks and are easy to remove: perfect for those who want beautiful nails without all the hassle.
3. Your natural nails come out healthier, not thinner
Glowie Nails are gentler than a traditional gel manicure because they don't require drilling or acetone removal, are free of harmful substances found in salon acrylics/polish and can be used even on fragile nails.They also help strengthen the natural nail and protect it from breakage.
4. They're made from real salon gel, not cheap plastic
Most press-ons are cut from thin ABS plastic that looks fake, and they pop off within hours. Glowie is made from 6 layers of real salon gel that is precured so that it's thick, sturdy and looks like real gel.
5. They cost about $10 a wear, not $80 a visit
With Glowie nails, you can enjoy beautiful nails and true freedom. Instead of spending $1000+ per year at the salon, you only pay $10-12 per manicure with the starter set, allowing you to spend your money on more enjoyable things than sitting in the salon chair.
You also save precious time: while salon appointments often last hours, a Glowie mani takes 15 minutes or less, quicker than painting your own nails and way less stressful. No waiting, no touch-ups, just perfectly manicured nails, whenever you want.
6. Perfect for beginners and short nails
Glowie is super beginner friendly and, application is easier and faster than ever.
7. One set lasts up to three weeks, and you can reuse it
A salon set grows out and you are back in the chair within a 3 weeks. Glowie holds for up to three weeks with glue, and because they are made from real gel, you can take a set off gently and rewear them again.
8. You can try them risk-free for 30 days
We are so sure you will never book another salon appointment that every order is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you do not love them, email us within 30 days and we will refund you.
9. Thousands of women have already made the switch

- CCarlyVerified Buyer1 month agoReviewingSofiaRated 5 out of 5 starsObsessed and converted from acrylics!!
I was skeptical since I’d used press ons as a teenager that lasted only hours. After being so sick of spending hours and $60-$100 a month on nail salon visits for acrylics, I thought I’d give glowie a try and am so incredibly impressed! They have lasted two weeks at this point and feel so sturdy and I haven’t had to try to be careful with them at all. Also no one has been able to spot that they are press ons. The colours are so cute and I can’t wait to try more! The only thing I wish was that the nails had some sort of numbering system so I wouldn’t have to dig through them all to find a matching size for each hand to save time, but I’ll do it for the price and longevity 😋🩷
Glowie By Her3 weeks agoHey Carly! We're absolutely obsessed with this for you!! 💗 So happy to hear you've made the switch from acrylics and that Sofia is giving you that longevity and sturdiness you were looking for! Two weeks of wear with zero babying?? That's exactly what we're going for! 💅✨ And love that they're so undetectable - that's the dream right there! Can't wait to have you trying more sets! 🩷
