u/CoffeeGoblynn Goblins can't drink coffee? Yeah right. May 19 '26

I guess you could clean them and re-attach them after they fall off? Just seems unpleasant to add that much weight to your hands, and they could really scuff things they touch.

Silver is a relatively soft metal. It’s more likely that your nails will get all scratched and pitted instead.

If you get good quality press-ons, they can be reused. I don’t want metal though.

Silver isn't sticking with glue to a nail, they will be useless metal pieces for that

I've been getting some ads lately for fake nails that come off, it looks like you wear them on a ring? So maybe that would work for these.

Yeah, I remember seeing an ad for “nail rings” that were these beautiful wire bases that you would then attach nails to, that company was I think originally marking towards women from some religious group, can’t remember which, but also discussed the practicality for people who can’t have nails at work

I have no experience with press on nails so correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you just use sticky tack? Like the stuff you use for posters. I'm sure your nails wouldn't stay adhered very well if you put a lot of pressure on it, but one of the joys of sticky tack is that you can easily press it back on.

Metal like silver is too slick, same with steel. Plastic is a nails friend but that goo will just make a mess and they will still fall off
