Ah, nails. Naturally one of the first things to go when you drop a stack of bills on an item, and even though it seems like you can get the exact same thing for much cheaper at a local nail salon, true true blue nail enthusiasts know your nails are nothing like those in a salon. Yes, there are plenty of polish colors to choose from and combinations of nail polishes to try, but instead of just blindly selecting just any old color and nail gels from random colors and websites, there’s a new way to fill up your clutch: press-on nails.

You already know about these natural sticks that double as nail art. They can be used anywhere that nails and handbags are blended together. Even better is that unlike nails that are straight down to the ball joint, you can still touch up your nails (should that happen).

The PIP nail stick ($11 at Nails Inc.) does the trick in the form of a latex, acrylic, and rice-based polish, so you can easily tuck it into your handbag pocket or purse as a breathable travel nail brush or just to keep in your fridge. And just in case you don’t believe in the benefits of these natural nails, here are four reasons to love them.
