This $4 acne relief stick is about to be a new "must-have" for your purse.
1. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say captures the same magic as " Black Honey," the $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique that's blowing up on TikTok at a fraction of the price. It doesn't shift colors as magically as the other version, but it's a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lip to keep in all your favorite bags and haunts.
I personally will live, breathe, and die by the magic of $25 "universal" Black Honey version — it lasts FOREVER and also functions as the perfect blush — but it sells out so often that I am also deeply relieved to know it has a cheap alternative in case of lip emergency!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have multiple that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn't get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." — Hamps5
Get it from Amazon for $7 (also available in eight other shades).
2. A set of super affordable hydrocolloid nose pore patches that will make you go "boy HOWDY" when you see how much gunk collects on them overnight. Reviewers swear by these for gently lifting out sebum from pores and pimples and minimizing their appearance!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Peach Slices is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products.
Promising review:"I use these once a week and they really help my huge nose pores look way smaller and cleaner. The first time I still had some oil and gunk in my pores but the second time I had even less. By the third time I used them, the only oil was on the patch, and my nose has never looked better. My pores appear smaller and my nose is smoother." — Sarah Cavasos
Get a pack of seven from Amazon for $9.98.
3. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~!
I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry.
Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
4. A reviewer-beloved (and makeup artist-beloved!) beauty sponge blender that rolled up and ate up all the expensive name brand versions for breakfast. This is firm and smooth when you use it dry for powder applications, and soft and flexible when you wet it for creams and liquids, making it the ultimate versatile sponge in your beauty trove ... for a mere $4 (!!) compared to the $20 BeautyBlender version.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This sponge works just as well as the $20 BeautyBlender for a fraction of the price. It does not soak up your foundation, rather it allows you to apply with ease. It feels a bit off if you're used to a regular BeautyBlender, but you get used to the feeling. Like the first time and soaked it and squeezed I thought for sure this will not work, but I was pleasantly surprised 😲. Nothing to dislike here, for the price it's worth it." — Tara D.
Get it from Amazon for $4.
5. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T.
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
6. Plus Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, a cult-fave product for your beauty arsenal that will quickly help minimize eye puffiness and swelling thanks to its winning combo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. It's basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs, because boy howdy are they awake now!!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products.
Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I put it on every night and morning. I've been using a little over a month and you can already tell a difference. My dark circles are hereditary, so I truly thought nothing would work. However this stuff IS GREAT!" — Shay M.
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
7. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀.
Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy
Get it from Amazon for $5.70 (available in two styles).
8. Eos' Cashmere Skin Collection Shave Oil — yes, that's right, the astronomically TikTok-famous Eos "cashmere" body lotion now comes in shave oil form, so you can lock in that ridiculously compelling whipped vanilla, musk, and soft caramel scent *and* protect your skin from razor burn. Reviewers are notably impressed by how close of a shave they can get with this, particularly in sensitive areas!
Promising review: "I am absolutely loving this serum! I t creates the smoothest shave I've ever had, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. The serum glides on easily, providing a close shave without any irritation or nicks. My razor moves effortlessly, and I'm impressed by how nourished my skin feels afterward. The light, refreshing scent is an added bonus! It's a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine and enjoy a comfortable, irritation-free experience. Highly recommend!" — Shay
Get it from Amazon for $7.10 (available in three scents).
9. E.l.f.'s Blemish Breakthrough Acne Fighting Spot Gel you can keep tucked away in your purse like a tiny acne-fighting magic wand. This salicylic acid gel roll-on is invisible when you apply it to oncoming and existing zits and blemishes, but still packs a powerful punch in helping reduce redness and inflammation (and help prevent future breakouts, too!).
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "I've tried many other products and this is always my go to. It works great for intended purpose. Can be used anytime, over or under make-up and moisturizer, since it applies clear. Dries quickly. Hard to find sometimes, seems to sell out quickly." — Dave&Kay
Get it from Amazon for $4.
10. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required.
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black.
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).
11. And E.l.f.'s Pro Eyelash Curler, aka your secret lash weapon — mascaras are all well and good, but this contoured, gentle, super effective curler is what is gonna get you that BIG lash drama your eyeballs crave.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This eyelash curler is by far the best eyelash curler I've ever used. It doesn't pinch or pull out lashes. The curler makes a nice lift and curl that looks natural." — C
Get it from Amazon for $5.
12. Hard As Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream you simply brush on your nail beds once a day to condition and strengthen all those brittle spots and hangnails, leaving you with thick, healthy nails and nail beds that'll make you wanna wiggle your fingers to show off anywhere you go.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My natural nails have always been so thin and weak that they would bend at the slightest pressure. I've tried so many hardeners, strengtheners, and cuticle oils, but nothing worked. I gave up trying to grow my nails altogether. I saw someone from TikTok recommend this product, and within a week and a half, my nails were so much tougher! Directions say to use it multiple times a day, and I might use it once a day or a few times a week and still get amazing results. My nails are THE STRONGEST they have ever been. I recommend this product to everyone." — U S Man of Steel
Get it from Amazon for $8.88.
13. An "Exfoliate & Glow" premium scrub mitt for that oh-so-squeaky clean sensation that comes with sloughing off dead skin. No, for real — one reviewer saw all the dead skin left in their shower floor and dubbed themselves a " Lizard Person" after shedding it. This is great for helping even out skin texture and tone, preventing ingrown hairs, calming keratosis pilaris, and removing self-tanner, too!
Seraphic Skincare is a small business that specializes in brushes, razors, and other personal care products.
Head's up that you should start very gently, and that you really only need to use it two to four times a month to get good results without over-exfoliating and compromising your skin barrier.
Promising review:"Not to be gross but when I lightly use this on my dry skin I can see the dry skin cells flying off! Great for cellular turnover. I use on dry skin before showering and finish after shower with good moisturizing oil. Makes my legs feel soft and smooth. Don't run too hard! Gentle strokes." — Juliet
"Color me converted. It's so disgusting that you want to look away, but morbid curiosity keeps making you turn back. That's really a 'you' creature in the bottom of the tub. You really sloughed off a second skin like a Lizard Person and have now emerged a new person. One that will no longer trust brand name products because they are a lie. Seriously. Buy this. You don't even know you need it, but you do. You really, really do." — Mandi Konesni
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a set of two).
14. The Ordinary's Multi-Depth Hydration Serum to achieve that "glassy," plumped effect *without* breaking the whole bank. This delightfully affordable, super effective serum helps hydrate and protect your skin barrier so you wake up with firm, refreshed skin.
Promising review:"Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" — Rina
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
15. Glossmetics' Lychee Overnight Lip Mask, a Laneige or Tatcha alternative that's already a cult-fave in the making — you can wear this non-stick, ultra glossy lip shine during the day or overnight as a lip treatment to help hydrate, soften, and condition your lips. Not to mention you will taste *delectable* all day and night (just ask the many lychee martinis I have downed on this here earth!).
Promising review:"I'm obsessed with lip products. I have tried everything you can imagine, inexpensive and expensive. This is my favorite lip product I've purchased. This gloss is incredible, perfectly moisturizing, and the color is so perfect, a very light natural glowy pink. I just came on Amazon to order a couple more to have one in the car, my purse, nightstand." — Tara Bills
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three flavors).
16. A set of hair tie bracelets designed to look like *actual* jewelry, so you won't be kicking yourself when you realize you left a hair tie on your wrist for every photo.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I love these! These add the cutest touch to any outfit. They make you feel better about wearing a hair tie on your wrist. And they function great as both a hair tie and a bracelet! Not too tight to wear as either. Love them!" — Tiara Scheurell
Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine styles).
17. Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment, the holy grail of curly hair products — you can either use it as a conditioning treatment, or wear it all day in your curls both to style and condition for all-day hair repair. Reviewers swear by it for healthier, bouncier, more well-defined curls, and love how gently it helps detangle, too.
This treatment is for all curl types!
Promising review: "I love this hair conditioner I LITERALLY use it everyDAY! It leaves my hair so soft and my natural curls are so bouncy! I'm in need of more soon! Definitely recommend this to anyone. And it smells so good too!!!" — Wendy
Get it from Amazon for $8.90.
18. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles, and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth!
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
I bought this and love it! I usually use an electric toothbrush, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular.
Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — Amy N.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99.
19.
Moodmatcher ~~green~~ color-changing lipstick, which not only adapts to the pH of your skin to create a personalized, perfect shade for your skin tone, but lasts for HOURS. Reviewers marvel at its all-day staying power, even after meals and breaking a sweat. Look at that lil' green lipstick go!!
Amazon
Moodmatcher is a small business that specializes in color-changing lipstick.
Promising review:"This color is beautiful, and shows up differently on everyone. This thing that I like most about this product, is that it stays on all day even through eating multiple meals. I have to use a microfiber cloth to remove it at night!" — Rasheda
Get it from Amazon for $6.59 (available in 12 shades).
20. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Checks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six styles).
21. Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Mist Oil for an *instant* and long-lasting dry skin fix — this blend of vitamin E and jojoba oil is designed to moisturize, soothe, and restore skin, and do it REAL quick and easy for those of us who don't have time for a whole song and dance of a body moisturizing routine.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I'm terrible about putting on lotion even though my skin is dry. I just hate it. But I love this stuff. It makes my skin feel great. Has a light pleasant scen t. Spray it on and rub it in. So easy! I just apply when going to bed or at least when I don't have to put anything other than lounge clothes on right away. My skin looks and feels so much better it makes me want to keep using it." — Slade
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
22. A bottle of callus-removing gel so effective at sloughing off dead, hardened skin that one reviewer described it as, " Horrifically satisfying." It's also super easy — you presoak your feet, apply for five minutes, and rub a pumice stone or foot file on the calluses and corns to watch them effortlessly slide off.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
You can grab a pumice stone or foot file on Amazon!
Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in an extra strength version).
23. PanOxyl Antimicrobial Hydrating Acne Creamy Wash, the gentler version of the OG foaming wash. This sensitive skin-friendly formula effectively clears up bacteria that causes acne on your face *and* body, helping clear and unclog pores so your skin can ~thrive~. Reviewers swear by this both for clearing up existing acne, and preventing more blemishes!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Psst — this "gentler" formula contains 4% Benzoyl peroxide, so reviewers with sensitive skin swear by this one versus the foaming 10% version, which admittedly does pack a bit more of a powerful punch.
Promising review:"This working like no other. Sometimes when products have no lather I can't tell if it's working tbh. This has no lather but works! Improves breakouts and textured skin. I saw results in four days." — Ellice D. Ellis
Get it from Amazon for $9.77 (available in different sizes).
24. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding when that winter dryness is coming for your 'do. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review:"I have been buying this for a long time for me and my daughter. I have thin, curly hair but it gets dry in the winter and this really brings it back to life. My daughter has THICK and super curly hair and it keeps her hair so hydrated (we use it as a mask every two weeks on her). Highly recommend." — Marina M.

25. Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette as an $8 alternative to the $88 (!!) Makeup Forever Palette. This includes a range of highly-pigmented, super blendable shades to help you contour, highlight, and bronze on days when your Gcal just say "GO GO GO" all the way down.

Promising review:"I love this palette. The blush is so pigmented and so are the bronzers. Good travel size. I am a professional makeup artist who travels weekly and it's easy to throw into my touch up kit for backstage too, as it doesn't take up much room and is very light." — Deja Victoria Seif
Get it from Amazon for $8.
26. Nyx's Pore Filler Targeted Stick, a holy grail option for anyone with sensitive skin who may have had it up to HERE with other pore fillers and their promises. This has a "blurring" effect to reduce the appearance of pores and smooth your skin without causing any extra shine you have to blot out.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Nyx Pore Filler in action.
Promising review: "Love this. I t truly covers my pores and I noticed it covers some of my wrinkles. I apply it right before I apply my foundation. There is no drying time needed. And it makes my skin silky smooth. I'm buying it again as I write this review. Thanks for this product." — Greeneyez
Get it from Amazon for $9.35.
27. Essence's "What the Fake!" Plumping Lip Filler to give your lips a lil' extra ~vavoom~ — this tingly formula not only volumizes your lips, but it's made with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to leave them extra moisturized and hydrated.
Check out a TikTok of the plumping lip filler in action.
Promising review: "I got this as an add-on last minute because of the price. It's small, but wow, it's impactful. A little goes a long way, and you can feel it working instantly. There is a tingle, not quite a burn. I'd def use a bit at a time when starting, but it works great right away." — Bt2turntup
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in five tints).
28. E.l.f.'s sheer tint, hyaluronic acid-infused moisturizing "Squeeze Me" lip balm that comes in flavors like Vanilla Frosting, Honeydew, and Peach. It is 2025, and we deserve an affordable way to perpetually taste like birthday cake!!
I love love love this lip balm. I compare it to the $24 version from Summer Fridays, which I've been splurging on — I love that brand because it lasts so long and is so high quality, but this $4 E.l.f. version feels comparable and, more excitingly, comes in smaller versions so I can stock my totes and bathroom with them whether I'm at home or on the go. It's hydrating, lightweight, doesn't get sticky, and adds a perfect ~subtle~ gloss whether I'm using it alone or on top of a lip color. I love the vanilla flavor so much, it's got a similar vibe to the birthday cake flavor that Glossier sometimes carries.
Promising review:"BUY IT, you won't regret it! After purchasing some of the more expensive Laneige ones, I decided to try this lip balm. I feel like these work so much better, and for so much less money! I'm obsessed with the scents and the formula is non-sticky, in my opinion, just a good slick balm. Peach smells like the peach ring candies, and honeydew actually reminds me of the old B&BW scent Cucumber Melon." — Kelly
Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in five flavors).
29. A hair identifier spray to make shaving or dermaplaning *that* much more efficient — this not only highlights where your hair is so you don't miss a spot, but also moisturizes and protects skin while you're shaving. This is also a great way to ensure you aren't *over*-shaving areas, since you'll know right away if the hair is taken care of!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"The power of the hair identifier's spray is unmatchable. Once you spray in any direction that has hair, it automatically identifies the hair that needs to be removed. It is easily sprayed on and easily wiped off. No extra residue. Comes with four blades and I say these blades are soft gentle, and yet get the job done. Not sure why no one ever thought of coming up with a hair identifier spray. Great value and smells like baby powder. Great quality." — Karine
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
30. A bottle of Nyx matte setting spray for anyone who wants the all-day protection of MAC and Urban Decay's setting sprays without the price tag — this matte finish will lock your look in place in just a few seconds, even on days when the sun is trying to melt you like an ice pop.
Promising review:"Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of tissues. But otherwise, it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I've used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray, and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." — Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in dewy and radiant finishes, and a jumbo size).
31. A pomade hair wax stick designed to work for all hair types for some residue-free *instant* hold for slick-back ponytails or setting flyaways, cowlicks, and baby hairs into place, if that's the ~look~ you're going for that day. Reviewers note how easy it is to glide over hair and brush back without leaving hair looking greasy or shiny.
Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair, which I love, but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez
Get it from Amazon for $7.19 (also available in multipacks).
32. Etude's delightfully multipurpose Dear Darling Water Tint, which a lot of reviewers compare to Benefit's Lip Tint. This smudgeproof formula is designed primarily to be a natural-looking, weightless lip stain, but reviewers use it as a blush as well!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought the Benefit version a couple of months ago and was very underwhelmed by it, but this product is sooo soo much better than Benetint. The pigment is so good and natural at the same time. A 10/10 for sure. And at this price point what's there not to like?" — Rachael
Get it from Amazon for $6.20+ (available in five shades and combo packs).
33. KISS PowerFlex Maximum Speed Nail Glue so reliable (and CHEAP) that you'll never sacrifice your time and money for other versions again. This has a strong hold that lasts most reviewers over a week, but is still easy enough to remove that you can safely reuse long-term press-ons.
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the nail glue in action.
Promising review: "I've been using this on my press-ons, and when I say they last a month or longer without any popping off! I will never go back to any other brand. Easy to use, quick-drying, GREAT PRICE!! Like, how can you best that value? The size you get for the price is really unmatched. The glue removal is pretty eas y. If I plan on reusing the press-ons, I'll soak them in water and soap and pop them off. If not, I'll cut and shave down the nails and soak in acetone until it dissolves the nails enough for me to use my drill." — Big Ming
Get it from Amazon for $1.97.
Psst — you can also snap up some glue dissolver for easier removal!
34. And a quick-drying top nail coat, because sometimes you just have to get the show on the road, nail polish situation be damned — this helps dry your wet nails within two minutes so you can get back to business (read: sticking your hand in a chip bag without fear).
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"NEVER GETTING MY NAILS PROFESSIONALLY DONE AGAIN. I love having long nails. I do not like spending fifty bucks just to get them painted. I tried the gel polish, with gel top coat; I tried the gel system with the lamps; I tried every polish out there. My hands get washed hundreds of times daily. This stuff is unbelievable. It really works the way they say it does. I applied it about one or two minutes after finishing a second coat of color and within minutes it had bonded and set and my nails stay shiny and polished for over a week. That is not the full two weeks claimed, but I am unusually hard on my nails so over a week is AWESOME. I immediately ordered several more." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6.60+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack).
