Celebrities love to wear fake nails for the instant glamor they bring to any look. Whether it's a dramatic red carpet event or a casual Instagram post, fake nails allow our favorite celebrities the flexibility to match their nails with their outfit or to the latest trends.
Fake nails help stars like Jennifer Lopez and Hailey Bieber to experiment with bold lengths, bright colors, and beautiful designs. For A-listers, who often have a slew of red carpet events to attend, fake nails are a quick solution that helps them look polished and ready no matter what.
Kelli Armstrong, founder of Nailfitt™, revealed that the secret to their ever-changing looks sans damage is soft-gel press-on nails.

"It's the easiest way to wear a nail trend for a day or weeks without damaging your nails," she continued, explaining that it sometimes takes only 10 minutes to apply them before they are on their way. Join Hello! as we explore the best fake nail looks from our favorite celebrities.
