Trending now: Nail styles you'll love

Discover the hottest nail trends with Elurea! Our customers are obsessed with these styles:

  1. Y2K Aesthetic Nails: Pearlescent finishes, butterflies, bling accents, and soft pastel gradients. Big appeal with Gen Z and trend-driven customers. Works beautifully on everyday and glam press-on nails.
  2. French Tips — But Make Them Fancy: Classic French tips are having a moment with twists like Chrome French, Floral/negative space French, and Colored French tips (pink, blue, neon). Great for customers who want elegant but modern.
  3. Minimalist & Nude Aesthetic: Neutral, sheer, almond-shaped press-ons. Perfect for everyday wear, work, casual and classy looks. Very popular with Australian shoppers wanting subtle style.
  4. Chrome & Metallic Finishes: Reflective and mirror-like surfaces in silver, rose gold, and holographic – bold and eye-catching. Pairs well with glam outfits and night-out looks.
  5. 3D Embellishments: Rhinestones, pearls, studs, and mini charms. High-detail designs that feel luxe and custom. Often seen on premium press-on sets.
  6. Bold Colors & Seasonal Palettes: Candy pinks, lavender, ocean blues trending for summer. Warm reds, burgundy, gold accents trending for winter. Seasonal palettes resonate with buyers and boost sales.

Customers today are drawn to unique handmade art (not generic factory sets), strong, glossy finishes that feel like salon gels, customizable lengths and shapes, and Instagram-worthy styles that photograph well. Selling a mix of trending aesthetics (Y2K, chrome) and everyday classics (nude, French) gives you the largest appeal.

Tired of the same old problems? Elurea has the solution.

Here are the biggest frustrations customers face with regular manicures and other press-on nail brands, and how Elurea solves them:

  1. Short Lifespan: Regular press-ons often pop off within 1–2 weeks. Salon manicures can chip or lift within a week. Elurea offers durable acrylic-layered press-ons that last weeks and are reusable.
  2. Weak or Thin Materials: Many press-ons are fragile and bend easily. Elurea’s handmade, strong, salon-quality nails look real and feel sturdy.
  3. Difficult Application: Some nails require complex prep or messy glue. Elurea includes an easy-to-use kit with glue, tapes, cuticle oil, and tools for stress-free application.
  4. Limited or Generic Designs: Mass-produced sets are boring. Elurea offers custom designs and trending styles that are Instagram-worthy and unique.
  5. Time & Cost of Salon Visits: Salon manicures are expensive and time-consuming. Elurea provides a convenient and affordable alternative.
  6. Damage to Natural Nails: Some glue or gel manicures weaken natural nails. Elurea offers healthy, protective options.

For extended wear, try our optional solid glue + UV torch for nails that last 4–6 weeks!

The secret to perfect press-ons

The right press-on nails fit your natural nail perfectly, have a thin acrylic layer beneath for a natural, salon-quality look, and are applied with the right adhesive. This makes all the difference between nails that last a few days and nails that stay strong, beautiful, and comfortable for weeks.

Thin acrylic gives a realistic, natural appearance while keeping nails strong. Proper fit prevents lifting or discomfort. Using solid glue + UV curing maximizes longevity and durability.
