I’m not kidding—when I found out that Olympic gymnast Suni Lee was wearing press-on nails DURING her routine in Paris this weekend, I audibly gasped. I mean, I can barely text with press-on nails, so I cannot imagine doing cartwheels on a beam in them! (Not that I could do cartwheels on a beam without them either.)
So, what’s her secret? KISS’s Salon X-tend LED Soft Gel System Starter Kit. And don’t worry, you don’t need any manicure skills for this at-home gel kit. You simply apply the glue like typical press-ons, and let it sit under the LED lamp. Voilá! Olympic-level nails in minutes! She wore the “Pure” style this past weekend while competing, and you can shop her exact mani below.<3
So if you want salon-esque nails that are Olympian-approved, take it from KISS’s brand ambassador Suni herself. “As a gymnast, I’m always looking for nails that are flexible, weightless, strong, and durable,” she said in an interview, “so making sure I had something that wasn’t gonna break easily was super important.” And that’s where KISS’s X-Tend comes in! “They’re super easy to travel with and super quick to do,” Suni added.
No more popping a nail while typing or showering thanks to these durable press-ons. Did we mention they’re literally drugstore-priced? Yep, they’re only $22.99. If Suni can do an Olympic routine in these, then I can def make it through my workweek (which lacks any sort of gymnastics) in them.
