Press-on nails have had a renaissance over the past few years; what I’d once considered an inferior, last-resort option has become my hack for quick, professional-looking manicures—sans the time and money I used to spend at the salon.

I’m hardly alone in my newfound affinity for press-ons; even Oprah is a fan, per her 2024 Favorite Things List. “I’ve asked so many people recently, ‘Oh, where did you get your nails done?” she shared; “They laugh and say, ‘They’re press-on!” As for Queen O’s faux-nail brand of choice? Chill Tips—a line hailing from cool-girl NYC mani spot Chillhouse. I, too, swear by the brand, which has garnered me countless compliments—often from people who hardly believe I did my own nails, let alone that I’m wearing press-ons.

Chillhouse Chill Tips She's the Prize Oprah Bundle

$48 at Amazon

The Chill House Press-On Nails Kits are a speedy solution to achieving a professional-grade manicure—easily, and in mere minutes. Each kit contains 24 pre-polished, full-cover nail tips and fast-drying, strong-hold glue to affix your manicure for up to 10 days. The brand offers an array of nail lengths and shapes, and dozens of styles ranging from funky to demure.

Oprah, who favors "subtle designs” and “solids” in a manicure, selected three relatively subdued Chill Tip styles for her Favorite Things list. Specifically: A seasonal, metallic crimson, aptly named “She’s on Holiday”; a neutral white-striped pattern dubbed “Pirouette,” and a wavy white-and-beige design, “Window Seat.”

You can purchase all three of Oprah’s picks in a curated bundle, called “She’s the Prize,” for $48. Act quickly, though: Until recently, the trio was sold out on Chillhouse’s website (and history tends to repeat itself). Luckily, you can also shop Oprah’s trio at Amazon, along with additional styles from the brand.

As for quality—a crucial consideration for achieving a pro-level look—Chilltips are unrivalled. Made from durable material, the nails last me twice as long as other press-ons I’ve tried. Plus, they resist splitting, bending, or fading, and can be reused numerous times.

Finally, Oprah’s favorite press-ons are perfect for beginners (in addition to DIY nail aficionados like me). As one shopper noted, Chill Tips make for an “easy and stylish at-home manicure experience.”

For a salon-worthy, on-trend manicure in minutes, shop Oprah’s favorite press-on nails at Amazon—and peruse more stylish picks from the brand, below.
