Listen, we're all short on time these days, or so it feels, and this at-home manicure is nearly instant.

As a Hello Kitty fan (hello, nostalgia!), I'm loving the Glamnetic Hello Kitty & Friends collaboration. The Hello Kitty Red Press-On Nails ($22) call my name with the pink and red color combo that characterizes Hello Kitty, teamed with a tiny graphic of the iconic character. The medium-length coffin shape also adds to its allure.

A classic red manicure is always an option, and the Kiss Reddy Or Not imPRESS Color Press-On Manicure ($8) looks and feels like real, natural nails. This set is chip proof, waterproof, and only takes a few minutes to apply since the nails already contain adhesive. The length is just right if you can't handle long nails but still want an elevated manicure.
