Flawless nails on a budget: 9 studios in Singapore that offer reusable press-ons for every mood and aesthetic
With the average gel manicure in Singapore costing S$40 to S$90 and taking up to three hours per session, more are turning to press-on nails as a practical alternative that delivers both style and savings. Press-on nails offer a lower cost per wear – not only are they generally cheaper per set, they can also be reused multiple times. Each wear can last up to three weeks, and unlike traditional gel manicures that you'll have to grow out (or soak off), press-ons can be swapped out as often as you like. That means you're free to match your claws to your outfit, your mood, or even your weekend plans. Many nail artists in Singapore now offer press-ons that are fully customisable to your nail shape and size, with hundreds of ready-to-wear options also available. Some throw in thoughtful perks too, like free removal services, starter kits, bundle discounts, and even on-the-spot application. Here are nine brands to check out the next time your nails are due for a glow-up. 1. CHEWINGURNAILS If you love nail art with serious personality, this artist is the one to watch. Her press-ons are all hand-painted, and the store's signature style leans heavily into intricate linework, anime character portraits, Y2K chrome, and even gothic or tattoo-inspired sets. View this post on Instagram A post shared by press on nails | sg 🇸🇬 (@chewingurnails) While she doesn't offer ready-made designs, each bespoke set is a canvas in itself – with past creations ranging from Studio Ghibli tributes to trending characters like Miffy and Hirono of Pop Mart fame. Price range: S$28 to S$85 2. CLAWS BY IZUI For ultra-glam nails that turn up the drama, Claws by Izui delivers. Her sets feature translucent jelly finishes, layered pearls, chibi-style characters, and dreamy airbrush effects.

If you're in the mood for a manicure instead, you can book a slot to swing by her Kovan studio. Price range: S$65 to S$190 3. This one is for the fine art girlies, as one quick scroll through this nail artist's page reveals aesthetically pleasing sets inspired by Monet and Van Gogh's famed artwork.

LUNE STUDIOS With dreamy packaging, a pastel-themed IG grid, and dainty designs, everything about Lune Studios is made for the girly girl. From ethereal colour palettes to shimmery gradients to soft sculptural 3D flowers, this brand's press-on nails are the epitome of fully embracing your feminine side.

PRETTYFAIRSG Whether you lean towards soft Korean-inspired designs, Barbiecore pinks or trendy swirl nails, this Yishun-based studio offers plenty of cute and colourful options to suit every style.

Fruit Water Nails: It's Official, This Manicure Will Be Our #1 Nail Inspiration This Summer
Skip to main content The promise? A manicure as refreshing and glowy as the pulp of a summer fruit May 21, 2025 After the rise of fruit-shaped nails last summer, the nail trend of 2025 has set its sights on a new gourmet variation: 'Fruit Water Nails.' Inspired by the juicy glow of summer fruits, this nail inspiration promises to be a beauty go-to this season. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. For the past two years, summer manicures have been all about fruit. In fact, fruity manicures were already trending back in summer 2024, as evidenced by 'farmer market' nails imagined by nail-artist Zola Ganzorigt for Hailey Bieber. Blueberries, cherries, strawberries and lemons were all featured on the nails, and this year, fruit is back — but with a twist: 'Fruit Water Nails,' where nail artists draw inspiration from the colour, rather than the shape, of fruit. This is the very first nail polish with a glossy, watery finish. This innovative texture, reminiscent of the subtle glow fruit-infused water, has given rise to the famous "Fruit Water Nails" trend, used by nail artists all over the world. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. The pink hue of a juicy strawberry, the orange tint of a fresh melon, the red of a ripe cherry... fruity colours are the main source of inspiration for nail artists this summer. The concept? A luminous, watery manicure, reminiscent of fresh fruit juice. Aptly named 'Water Fruit Nails,' these nails offer a subtly gelled shade, oscillating between transparency and soft colour. The result is comparable to that of a lip oil: discreet, elegant, silky and powerful. Radiant and refined, 'Water Fruit Nails' are sure to be the most popular manicure in salons this summer. A winning formula that's easy to replicate at home, here are the prettiest options from Instagram. 1. Strawberry This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. 2.
