With the current uprisings going on around the country, your nails are likely nowhere near as top of mind as they were when states began opening up salons after two months of Covid-19 lockdowns. Still, Black women, we know we like our nails. And as we look for ways to support the current resistance movement, buying Black is one of the quickest and easiest ways to show support for our community and stand in opposition of racist, capitalistic oppressors. So, in continuing our listings of Black-owned personal grooming brands to support at this time, here are 10 Black women-owned press-on nail brands to patronize.

You’ve Been Jeweled promises quality, one-of-a-kind designs, and as you can see from the set above it delivers. Custom handmade press-ons with beautiful detailing in a variety of shades are what you can expect from this on-trend brand.
The newest brand on the list. Nail Candy just launched June 2 and is already wowing followers with its bright-colored luxury press-ons. As the founder shared on the website, “Nail Candy represents my visualizations of what is and what could be in the world of nails and beauty.”
ENT’s hand-painted and designed nails are built to last so you can reuse them over and over again. It takes anywhere from 7-14 days to knock out sets, but that’s what makes this brand stand out from other plastic manufactured nails. Orders will be available again starting June 8.

If you like to rock to jelly nails one week, crystals the next, chrome the week after, and marble designs to close out the month, this Etsy shop will turn you into a repeat customer in no time. Shop owner Jasmine sells more than 90 press-on nails in various shapes and designs for the girl who loves to switch it up on ’em.
Luxury custom-made press-on nails are the cornerstone of this brand. Every order comes with 10 made-to-order nails, a file, buffer block, alcohol wipe, and detailed instructions on how to apply. If you’re interested in getting into nails yourself, you can also book a one-on-one class with creator Jamie Barbie.
If classic and chic define your style, Glam NailZ will definitely call your name. The press-ons come in beautiful nude hues with encapsulated designs that provide just the right amount of “extra” to liven up your nail bed.
