21 Viral Beauty Products From Amazon
In case you didn't know, Amazon has an "Internet Famous" section curated with TikTok-viral products. Here's a selection of beauty finds that are so beloved by reviewers, it's safe to say they're *definitely* worth the hype: An LA Girl HD concealer reviewers say works just as well as higher-end options from MAC, Kosas, and Nars while being under $10. A little goes a long way to provide excellent coverage for dark circles and hyperpigmentation, and it's easy to apply and blend with a brush or fingers. A nifty marshmallow whip maker capable of performing one neat magic trick: turning your regular cleanser into an irresistibly fluffy foam. Simply add a smidge of your favorite cleanser, a splash of water, and pump away until you've got a cloud-like concoction. Not only does this make washing your face feel fun, but it's also a savvy way to get your products to last a very long time. A beautiful Coppertone shimmer sunscreen spray that'll make you twinkle like a vampire from Twilight (if they ever left rainy Forks, WA, to go sunbathe on a Miami beach instead). This spray contains SPF 30 and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes. And a dry oil Supergoop glow stick with SPF 50 and PA++++ that can be used on the face, chest, and shoulders for ample sun protection *and* a highlighting glow — one reviewer even said this made them look like a dewy diamond. It's recommended to use after your moisturizer to lock in hydration! A set of reusable Glamnetic press-on nails for anyone who dreads sitting in the salon for hours and spending an arm and a leg just for nails. These nail sets are not only pretty and stylish, but also durable and easy to apply. Your nails will look like they took two hours to do, when in reality they only took under 30 minutes. A jar of Egyptian Magic that I'm positive every single person reading this right now can find at least one use for in their everyday life. Reviewers have used this natural, all-purpose balm for just about everything: scar treatment, tattoo aftercare, diaper rashes, psoriasis and eczema relief, to help fade stretch marks, as a lip balm, as a makeup remover (???) — the list goes on. A lightweight E.L.F Camo CC cream ready to become your summer staple, because it enhances your natural beauty while evening out your skin tone with its color-correcting magic. And with SPF 30 in the formula, you're staying sun-smart in addition to looking fabulous! It hydrates for that plumped-up, dewy look and leaves you with an enviable airbrushed finish. A bottle of Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant useful for clearing out pores and evening your skin's texture and tone. It's gentle enough to use daily, unlike those other gritty face scrubs that feel like you're sandblasting your skin. A Pure Instinct Roll-On that supposedly blends with your skin's pH, creating a scent that's as individual as you are. Disclaimer: Even if you don't have people swooning at your feet like you're in a rom-com, you'll at least receive compliments on its fruity-floral scent. Magic shaving powder if you have coarse, textured body hair, and no matter how many different razors and creams you try, nothing seems to remove it all. This practically melts hair away in minutes, reduces razor bumps (since this is a razorless option), and leaves your skin silky smooth. This stuff is STRONG, so be sure to follow all the directions and patch test, and once again, only use if you have thick and coarse textured hair. A Milk Hydro primer with the grip strength of a toddler who just found their favorite snack. This wonder product dries down to a fabulously grippy consistency, practically "gluing" your makeup in place while also hydrating your skin and leaving a dewy finish. A Nyx instant brow styler if Cara Delevingne has been on your Pinterest inspo board since high school. With just a few swipes, this magical potion will give your brows that extra *oomph* and hold them in place for 16 hours with no flakiness or icky white residue! Isle of Paradise self-tanning drops so you can give your skin that sun-kissed vibe without baking under actual rays. Just add a few drops to your face moisturizer or lotion, and you'll get a radiant glow. It comes in three options: light for a sunkissed glow, medium for a golden tan, or dark for a deep bronze tan. The more drops you add, the deeper of a tan you'll get. First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub — with the combined power of glycolic and lactic acids, your skin will be left feeling fresh and rejuvenated with a radiant glow. This product is typically used to help with keratosis pilaris (or "chicken skin"), but reviewers say it was also able to help with their body acne. E.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, a lightweight base that won't have you feeling like you're wearing a mask all day. This primer also has a blurring effect that reduces the appearance of pores and gives you a velvety smooth canvas for your makeup. Or a multitasking Nyx primer packing a punch of benefits so robust, you'll wonder how it all fits into one sleek bottle. It smoothes, softens, hydrates, soothes, evens tone, minimizes texture, blurs lines, adds a soft focus finish, keeps makeup fresh, annndd extends your makeup wear all day. The pale pink tint brightens your complexion, and reviewers note a subtle sweet scent that they absolutely love. LilyAna Naturals eye cream so you'll look more like you got a full eight hours of sleep (even if you only got three). With restorative ingredients like rosehip seed oil, organic hibiscus flower extracts, and vitamin E, this cream helps tackle dark circles, fine lines, and puffy under-eye bags — and a little goes a long way, so you won't need to break the bank to see results. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that works so well to mattify greasy skin and control midday shine WITHOUT disturbing your makeup, you'll never need to buy a pack of blotting papers again. It's also compact so you can keep one in your purse, car, office get the point. L'Oréal Paris Infallible Fresh Powder Foundation if you want a foundation that's easy to apply and doesn't leave you looking cakey. It goes on super smoothly, and you won't have to worry about any weird streaks or patches. This foundation also lasts all day, so you don't have to do any touch-ups (unless you want to, of course). A splurge-worthy Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Face Serum if you've been searching for a one-and-done holy grail product that basically renews your skin during your beauty sleep. With the combined powers of *seven* serums, this offers visible line reduction, firmness, a more even skin tone, strengthening, hydration, radiance, and antioxidant protection. A six-pack of Ardell demi wispies that create a dreamy, fluttery effect designed to make your eyes pop. Thanks to the undetectable thin invisiband, people will be asking who's behind your fabulous lashes — little do they know, it's all thanks to this pack from Amazon!

If Your Whole Dang Personality Is 'Spring,' Then You'll Probably Wanna Grab A Few Of These 31 Things
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · If you're in your floral era year-round, this list has some rain boots, tote bags, and art prints that are calling your name. 1. A set of vintage-style botanical wall art prints so you can gaze at flowers even when you're curled up on the couch catching up on The White Lotus. Each print has a subtle linen texture on the surface, and reviewers say the material is thick and the color is vibrant. Amazon Promising review: "Absolutely love these prints. They are more beautiful in person and of great quality. They are sturdy and not just a piece of thin paper. I will definitely buy from this seller again." — Sherry Wagner Dream Big Printables is a small business that specializes in wall art and decor. Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 2. A set of Glamnetic press-on nails featuring a floral design so dainty and whimsical you'll feel like an actual daffodil come to life. Glamnetic press-ons have become a fan fave for being super easy to apply and lasting for well over a week — and you will hear "I love your nails!!" approximately 150 times over the course of that week. Glamnetic Just apply some glue to your nail and the back of the press-on, then press down firmly for 10–20 seconds, and then file and shape as you please! Promising review: "I tried Glamnetic on a whim, and now I won't go to any other brand. They really do last! I love all the different styles, and that they're really easy to put on, especially with the brush on glue. I work in a school, and help my kids open their lunches, which includes peeling oranges. THESE NAILS STAY ON! I used to have to reapply my thumbs at lunch. Not anymore." — Kim P. Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in 25 other designs/colors). 3. Or OPI RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish that dries more quickly than... actually, it already dried before I could think of a clever example!! One minute is all it takes — yes, just 60 seconds — to get a fully dried veil of vibrant color that'll help you hold off on that expensive gel set you've been meaning to get. Plus, it comes in so many spring-friendly shades that'll match all your flowy dresses. Amazon The shade in the photo above is Speed of Bright. Promising review: "I just love this nail polish! Love the color and how fast it dries. I will order again." — Georgie Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 31 shades) 4. A ceramic wildflower seed packet vase so you can make sure your flowers remember their roots. Or to make your Lego flowers look even more realistic. Also, imagine how cute this would be holding utensils in the kitchen! Promising review: "I got a dried bouquet to go inside it and will be putting this in my work's white elephant gift exchange! Very stylish and unique, as well as sturdy and high quality." — Alyssa Wise is a small business that specializes in quirky homeware, accessories, and stationery. Get it from Amazon for $26.95. 5. A mini ruffled swing dress with a bow detail that's kind of giving "Minnie Mouse going to brunch to gossip with Daisy." Reviewers say it's super stretchy and the fabric is breathable enough to keep you cool on hot days. It also comes in a variety of colors, but let's be honest, the floral patterns are the only ones catching your eye. Promising review:"I'm obsessed with this dress! I have it in three different colors and can't get enough! The fabric is light and airy, which is great for where I live! The bow detail and ruffles are adorable. Super fun dress that can be worn casually or dressed up! Perfect for a date night or vacation! Extremely comfortable!" — Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 20 colors). 6. A strawberry-shaped kitchen timer that'll make you feel so you can finally live out your dreams of moving in next to Strawberry Shortcake in Strawberryland. It goes up to 59 minutes, so you can use it to let you know when your lemon loaf is ready or to wake you up from a very well-deserved 59 minute afternoon nap. Promising review:"The happiest little timer! It does have a typical mechanical ticking sounds when it's in action, but it is soft and unobtrusive. The timer's ring is pretty gentle, which is great for those in quiet spaces." — Drew Holladay Get it from Amazon for $12.55. 7. A set of unbelievably adorable butterfly hair clips so you'll have an appropriately whimsical way to secure all your spring updos. Honestly, the cute design isn't even the best part — reviewers say these do what hair clip researchers previously thought was impossible: they actually stay in place and won't snap in half the second time you use them. Promising review: "I bought these months ago but waited to review them so I could give an honest review. I am thrilled to report that I couldn't be happier with this item! The size is just as described and the spring holds tightly and is holding up very well so far. I wear one of these nearly every day and I love how nice they look and how well they hold my hair. I get complimented all the time on the butterfly and the different colors!" — P. Donovan Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 color combinations). 8. And a pair of gold-plated butterfly huggie earrings that'll have you singing the Reading Rainbow theme every time you look in the mirror. 🎶 I can go twice as hiiiiigghh! 🎶 They're 100% nickel free, cadmium free, and lead free, so it should be safe to wear for those with sensitive skin! Amazon Fellow BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a huge fan of the brand behind these earrings: "For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my 'daily wear' jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it. Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's line of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets!" Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in three styles). 9. The sweetly sophisticated Rose Era perfume by Snif with notes of fresh roses, strawberries, and clean laundry. So basically, imagine relaxing out on a freshly washed picnic blanket while eating fresh fruit in the botanic garden. I believe this is what the phrase "spring is in the air" smells like. Promising review: "I usually avoid floral perfumes, but Snif's Rose Era caught me off guard in the best way. While rose isn't typically my go-to, there's a juicy, flirty vibe to this fragrance that I found surprisingly enjoyable. The blend of dewy roses with hints of strawberry and pear creates a fresh and playful vibe. Though I lean towards warm, musky, and slightly sweet scents, Rose Era managed to lighten my mood and offer a delightful change to my collection." — Shana Get the travel size from Ulta for $25 or the full size for $65 (both sizes are also available directly from Snif). 10. Or the more fruit-forward Strawberry Letter by Phlur if florals aren't really your thing. First you'll smell perfectly ripe strawberries mixed with plum nectar (yum). Then your nose will pick up on some sugared amber and earthy woods, which elevates this to grown-up strawberry status. If the strawberry Lip Smacker was always the first one you reached for (guilty), this is for both you and your inner child. Phlur Promising review: "I was expecting a pretty generic strawberry scent for the summer. Let me tell you, this is much more. It's sultry with just a touch of strawberry. It's lasted for a good six hours so far. The projection isn't overwhelming, but my husband loved it when he curled up next to me." — Sam Get it from Amazon for $32+ (available in two sizes). 11. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so even your boo-boos will be cute and springy. I mean, if you scrape your knee while gardening, it's only appropriate that your bandage matches the occasion. Promising review: "If you're looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric band-aids because they're way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" — Jessica Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $3.77. 12. A Homesick candle that perfectly captures the first true sign that spring has arrived — April showers! This scent actually has notes of rainwater (I would like to personally thank the fragrance scientists responsible for that note) along with vetiver, amber, and cedar bark. Basically, imagine stepping outside about 10 minutes after it stops raining and smelling all the damp flowers, grass, and trees surrounding you. The May flowers are on their way!! Homesick Promising review:"This smelled exactly as expected! Pretty good throw, smells just like stepping outside after it rains with some additional floral and aquatic notes, almost like you're next to a babbling brook. Great seasonal choice and will definitely order again." — Austin K Get it from Homesick for $20.95 (originally $29.95). 13. A set of wooden flower pot magnets so you'll have a perfectly precious way to secure your very important spring notes like "farmer's market closes at 3 p.m. Saturday" and "running low on Flonase!" It's perfect for my fellow apartment dwellers with no room for an actual garden. Promising review: "The magnets look good! I have them displayed at work and receive so many compliments. Perfect addition!" — Amazon Customer Get a set of four from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in four other styles). 14. A "Springtime Street" puzzle with vibes so immaculate you'll be tempted to try to jump inside it. The super vibrant scene will instantly brighten up your day (can we talk about the dogs riding in the taxi?! 😭❤️), so I suggest saving it for a rainy day when you need a pick-me-up. Psst! You might wanna go ahead and pick up a 20" x 27" puzzle frame so you can display it proudly on your wall. Promising review: "This puzzle exceeded my expectations! The pieces are thick, sturdy, and fit together perfectly without bending or peeling. The image quality is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details that make the final picture a true work of art. It's definitely a challenge, but that's what makes it so enjoyable! If you love puzzles that test your patience and attention to detail, this one is perfect. Highly recommend for puzzle lovers looking for both quality and a rewarding challenge!" — Day Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two styles). 15. A set of temporary flower tattoos so you can ensure you are always covered in head-to-toe in florals, which I think even Miranda Priestly would consider pretty groundbreaking. Reviewers say they last for a surprisingly long time, unlike the cherry blossoms that bloom for all of five seconds. Promising review:"They are quite dainty with light colors and fine lines. I found them to be quite long lasting if I am careful when showering to avoid scrubbing. I have had people congratulate me on my new tattoos and they are surprised to find they are fake." — Kindle Customer Get a pack of 10 sheets from Amazon for $6.98 (available in six varieties). 16. A vintage-inspired botanical tapestry that is both ~aesthetic~ and educational. It's filled with several types of flowers with their names right beside them, so don't be surprised if you've memorized them all before summer even begins. Amazon Promising review:"This is a very nice item that I am using in my small Florida apartment to enhance my decor since my hobby is growing indoor houseplants. It is the best-quality item I own. It's beautiful, the pictures didn't do it justice." — Sharon Boggs Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in plant and mushroom designs). 17. Spring Moments, a delightfully cheery coloring book filled with the cutest creatures partaking in particularly precious activities. From cozy bathrooms to perfect picnics, it's filled with 40 scenes that'll make you say "I want to go to there" every time you turn the page. Also, Coco Wyo has a *ton* of other cozy stress relief coloring books with different themes in their Amazon storefront! Promising review: "Oh my gosh. Hands down one of my absolute FAVORITE coloring books. Anything they put out, I will buy. It just is what it is. I love that there is so much to color while simultaneously not too much. You still have so much creative freedom with this one but it's so easy to make fun designs. If you're thinking about it... DO IT!" — SE Reviews Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 18. And a set of scented colored pencils that will make you super nostalgic for all the scented school supplies of years past. However, these come with a super sophisticated twist: instead of basic scents like grape and strawberry, you'll get dreamy fragrances like "Meandering Through a Filed of Jasmine" and "Napping Among Fragrant Bergamot Trees." Lifelines Promising review: "Everything about these colored pencils is enchanting, the design, scents, *the names of the colors*. Sigh. These scratch my itch for charming, lovely little things to elevate the day-to-day, and they take coloring as relaxation to a new level of self-care. The quality of the pencils themselves in terms of drawing/coloring is great as well; they blend easily, and the colors are clear/unmuted (they are not as rich/smooth as true artist quality pencils but perform above standard Crayola, similar to Prismacolor). I had to get a couple more as gifts, and both recipients were absolutely delighted." — Sunny Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three color palettes and in sets with diffuser pens). 19. A flowerpot-shaped lemon juicer so adorable it'll have you planning all of your meals around lemon juice. The design is also just downright functional — simply squeeze your lemon on top, then pour the juice out of the spout to add some zest to everything from salads to pasta sauce. It's like I always say: when life gives you lemons, buy cute things to squeeze them into. Amazon Promising review: "Cute, quirky, and fun to use! Lemonade is quickly made. It looks so good, I leave it on the counter." — Stephaniep Get it from Amazon for $14.90. 20. A cheerful corduroy tote bag that's surprisingly roomy, so it's about to be the MVP of all your farmers market trips. And I'll go ahead and cut to the chase — there's not only one inner pocket, but TWO! No more fishing around for your keys when you return home with your fresh produce and local honey. 🍯 🐝 Promising review: "I love this bag. It holds everything. I even used it as my extra allowed personal item on the plane, and I had all I needed tucked right in this bag. Even my water bottle and reading materials fit well. It's got cute style. It's easy to locate in the house because of its bright colors. Washes up fantastically. The snaps work great, so things do not easily spill out. The inside pockets are perfect for phone and small wallet and provide easy access to them." — L. Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in 39 styles). 21. A pair of floral-print rain boots so you can make like Natasha Bedingfield and feel the rain on your skin without getting your feet absolutely soaked. You might think they're too cute to function at first glance, but reviewers say they're super durable, protective, and surprisingly comfy. Promising review:"I love these boots; they fulfill the needs for which I bought them: rain/freezing snow. I live in Minnesota, and we can have very hot and rainy summers and freezing temps with very heavy snow/sleet (often extremely) in the fall, winter, and spring. I live in the city, so I walk I get compliments on them just about every time I wear them, which is a lot! They are warm for winter and very comfortable with or without socks." — Bobbie Get it from Amazon for $38.90 (available in women's sizes 7–10 and four colors). 22. Or a pair of waterproof shoes in vibrant pastel colors that are the epitome of spring. They're so much lighter and more stylish than your typical heavy rain boots, and reviewers say they're super supportive and comfy. Promising review:"I absolutely love these shoes! I originally bought them for a trip to Washington, DC where it was going to rain most of the time. I have Hunter rain boots, but knew we would be walking a lot and didn't want to be weighed down on the trip. I was four months pregnant and wore these for two of the days where we walked over nine miles each day (ugh!), and these were SOO COMFORTABLE! My feet didn't have any blisters or sore spots (which I am very prone to), and I handled the rain/puddles like a champ! I love that they looked like normal shoes but were wiped clean with a baby wipe! On the last day, it was dry, so I wore Adidas Cloud running shoes. My feet hurt halfway through the day, and I wanted to go change into these. Totally surprised by the comfort and quality of these rain shoes. I now use them when in the garden or anytime it rains!" — AmazonFamily Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in women's sizes 5.5–11, low-top and high-top styles, and five colors). 23. A set of vintage-inspired spoons you'll want for all the garden tea parties you'll be inspired to throw once the sun is out for more than two days in a row. They're perfect for stirring sugar into your morning cuppa, or even for taking dainty bites of lemon sorbet, which I'm hereby declaring the official dessert of spring. Promising review: "The perfect little coffee spoons on my coffee bar! They go with my modern vintage thrifted decor and make me smile. 🥰" — Lindsey Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.21. 24. A flowy and twirly A-line pleated skirt, because spring is practically designed for twirling around in the grass and living your best influencer life. Reviewers note that it's true to size, and the waistband gives the perfect amount of stretch while still staying in place. Promising review:"The skirt is as beautiful as I imagined it would be; it's exactly as pictured. It's very comfortable, and due to the elastic waistband, very forgiving as far as fit. It's perfect for work or a casual day out." — Elayne Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and eight colors). 25. The latest Lego bouquet featuring daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, and more. If you like the idea of fresh flowers but hate the act of watering said flowers, these are made specifically for you. The set includes 15 buildable flowers, including daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, a campanula, and a waterlily dahlia. Promising review: "This set is absolutely stunning. As a huge fan of the botanical sets, I was excited to get this one in, and I have to say that this one is the most detailed and realistic in the series. My favorite feature of the set is definitely the boat orchids overall, I am pleased, and this has to be my favorite set." — Leiruagetro Get it from Amazon for $59.69. 26. Or! Buildable Lego cherry blossoms so you can marvel at their beauty right at home instead of trekking to the crowded botanic garden. But I must warn you, these are so cute you might buy at least three more sets to have in different rooms. Check out a TikTok of the flowers in action. Promising review: "Great afternoon activity. All of the flower Lego sets are great for a break and getting your mind off things. We have several different flower ones in a vase, and they all seem to fit nicely together." — Jeremy Moeller Get it from Amazon for $10.19. 27. Or!!! A beautiful bouquet of crochet flowers that are 100% better than real ones since they don't require constant watering and will last longer than 2.5 days. There are several colors to choose from, and they're all bound to add a vibrant touch to even the dreariest rainy days. The small size includes four flowers, and the large size includes six flowers. Promising review: "This arrangement sits behind one of my couches and it is always the first thing in my living room people comment on. It is so cute I love it!!" — Sarah K. Vega Studio Art is a small Etsy shop based in New York. Get it from Vega Studio Art on Etsy for $20.15+ (available in two sizes, five colors, and options for wrapping and a vase). 28. A patterned stoneware mug if you're going for a "spring, but make it rustic-chic" vibe. As one reviewer said, "Coffee just tastes better when you have the most beautiful mug." All true coffee connoisseurs know this is 100% factual. Well yes, it is both microwave- and dishwasher-safe! Promising review: "These far exceeded my expectations. They are the perfect cups! The design is lovely and the feel of the cup is great. Really a beautiful mug addition." — Mdr Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four styles and multipacks). 29. Resin coasters that are basically mini handmade works of art for your coffee table. They're seriously almost too gorgeous to place actual drinks on, but don't worry, you can also use one as a chic jewelry tray if you can't bring yourself to put your coffee mug on it. *Don't forget to fill out the personalization box! And if you're not into shades of green, check out their shop for more colors in the same style. Promising review:"I knew these would be gorgeous, but you absolutely have to see them in person. Beautiful craftsmanship, love them!!" — Karen K. Michelle Pournia is a Monterey, California-based small biz that specializes in stunning, handmade home decor and functional art. Get a set of two from Michelle Pournia for $28 (available in single-, and other multipacks, and in more colors here). 30. A set of pastel highlighters so you can liven up your dreary notes with a touch of spring colors. Oh, and did mention there's ✨ GLITTER ✨ in the ink??!! I haven't been this excited about glitter since Mariah Carey started an acting career. Their rectangular design provides an ergonomic grip so you can use them for hours and hours during your next study session — or for when you read a Colleen Hoover novel and decide to highlight every ridiculous thing that happens (so, the entire book). Check out a TikTok of the highlighters in action. Promising review:"These are amazing!!! Beautiful colors and the sparkle/shimmer is more than I imagined it would be. Mr. Pen did it again! If you don't have these pens, you need to get them!! Great addition to my journaling supplies!" — FBJH12 Get a set of eight from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in three other color combos that aren't metallic). 31. A silly swinging planter I guarantee will put a smile on your face every time you see it — kind of like the one painted on it! It includes two hooks for easy hanging and a drainage hole for easy plant parenting. I suggest placing this by a window so it can lightly swing anytime there's a breeze. Amazon Promising review:"This adorable plant pot is great for my collection. The cord is strong and long enough to adjust as needed. I was concerned that the little guy would tip forward on his swing, but it actually sits very nicely and looks great. The size is wonderful — so many special pots like this are tiny, but this one holds a nice mature plant. All the materials are of nice quality, and the planter itself is thick and sturdy." — LauraM Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in five other styles).

The Best Press-On Nails, Rigorously Tested By Our Editors
The best press-on nails fit well, look natural and allow you to experiment with different looks without harming your natural nails. Most options require a non-damaging glue that keeps nails in place but can be easily removed by soaking your fingertips in warm, soapy water. Over several weeks, our team tested versions from top nail brands, and we found Olive & June's The Instant Mani Press-On Nails to be the best overall option. This beginner-friendly kit comes with 21 different nail sizes and detailed instructions, making the application process smooth and efficient. We also like the Glamnetic Press-On Nails, which have an extensive range of nail art designs to choose from. The best press-on nails allow you to try different shapes, lengths and styles without requiring a ... More visit to the salon. These are the best press-on nails according to our testing. 'The first thing you should look for is your preferred style and shape of nails,' says Tara Haye, a freelance nail artist based in NYC. 'Then focus on size, fit and a good adhesive like nail glue or sticky tabs.' Once you find a style you want to try, you can shape your press-ons just as your natural nail using nail clippers and a file. When choosing the right length, consider your lifestyle and daily activities, as you want to ensure your nails don't get in the way of everyday chores. Here are the best press-on nails, according to editor testing. Olive & June Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Number of designs: 95+ | Reusable: Yes | Size options: 21 per hand | Adhesive: Glue Best for: Skip if: Regardless of your skill level, Olive & June's press-on nails are an excellent option; they're easy to apply, long lasting and look incredibly natural. Each mani kit includes 21 sizes for each hand, the most extensive size range of any brand we have tested. Thanks to this, during my testing I found it easy to find the right fit for each nail, and the application process was smooth. (If you're new to press-on nails like I am, I suggest reading through the instruction manual before you begin.) The Olive & June set lasted six days and looked natural and elegant. The press-ons lasted for six days, and I didn't experience any chips or visible wear, which is consistent with the experience of another tester. At the six-day mark, I switched out these nails for a different set I was testing, but I think they would have lasted for at least two more days had I not removed them. Beyond the extensive size range and durability, I thought the final look was polished and elegant.

At Forbes Vetted, we've researched and written dozens of nailcare stories, including those about the best nail polish brands, best fall nail colors and more. We tested seven brands of press-on nails, and three didn't make our final list. Here's more on what we liked and didn't like about them. PaintLab Press-On Nails, from $10: Our two testers had differing experiences with the longevity of these nails. One tester said her PaintLab nails held firm until she manually removed them on day nine (the design on the tips did show obvious signs of wear), while our other tester said her nails started falling off on day three. Dashing Diva Magic Press Premium, $12: These pre-painted, pre-glued nails are great for last-minute manis and short-term wear, but our tester doesn't recommend them for long-term wear. The sticky backing has some bulk, which means they sit slightly off the nail, and she experienced some lifting at the cuticle. Static Nails Reusable Pop-On Manicures, from $18: Unfortunately, the glue doesn't dry clear like other brands we tested, so it doesn't clean up well, is messy to use and leaves a chalky white finish everywhere. These nails also fell off after just four days. While the nails' design, shape and length are largely up to personal preference, we focused on ease of use, fit and wear longevity when evaluating the best press-on nails. Our testers began by reading the instructions that came with each set and then applying the nails, noting how user-friendly the process was and how long it took them. They also indicated whether each kit had everything they needed and whether the press-ons needed to be filed down or reshaped. Our testers began by reading the instructions and noting how user-friendly the application process ... More was. As everyone's nails are different, each set should have a wide range of sizes. Our testers noted the number of nail sizes in each set and whether they had trouble finding a comfortable fit. Olive & June was the most size-inclusive brand, with an impressive 42 nails in each set. Our testers put the press-ons through the rigors of daily life and evaluated how long each set lasted, whether the design faded and if there were chips or signs of visible wear. Through daily activities like cooking, cleaning, walking the dog and working out, our testers determined each set's longevity and durability. Although fit and performance are two of the most crucial factors, there are other factors to consider. After consulting with our experts, here's what to look for when shopping for the best press-on nails. Like salon manicures, you can choose a shape that best fits your needs and preferences. Common shapes include square, round, almond and oval. There's no right or wrong shape, so don't be afraid to experiment with different options and file the shape to your liking. Press-on nails come in several different lengths, ranging from short to long. When choosing the right length, consider your lifestyle and daily activities. If you use your hands frequently—whether for cooking or typing on a computer—extra long nails might make those activities more difficult. Again, you can always cut your press-ons down with nail clippers and reshape the tips if you want to customize the length. Press-on nails come in many styles, from solid colors to more elaborate designs with glitter. Some sets also have embellishments like rhinestones, metallic accents and raised 3D shapes that can provide an unexpected texture to your nails. Glamnetic in particular has a wide variety of designs to choose from. After extensive testing, the Olive & June's The Instant Mani Press-On Nails were our pick for the best press-on nails. The brand is great for beginners and more advanced users alike, and each set comes with 21 sizes for each hand, making it easy to find the best fit. There are also many designs, ranging from solid colors to artful looks. Press-on nails that come with a strong glue should last the longest. All the options highlighted in this guide come with an effective glue that keeps nails affixed for at least a week. Press-on nails won't ruin your natural nails if correctly applied and removed. It's important to follow the removal instructions and not wreak unnecessary havoc on your nails. To keep your natural nails healthy, it's also a good idea to hydrate your hands and cuticles or use a nail strengthener. 'Practicing good habits like moisturizing regularly and maintaining a balanced nutritional diet also helps,' says Haye.
