The Rise of the "Man-icure": A Guy's Guide to Press-On Nails

Introduction
It’s 2026. The stigma is gone.
Thanks to icons like A$AP Rocky and Harry Styles, nail art has become the ultimate accessory for men. But let’s be real: walking into a nail salon can still feel intimidating for some guys.
That’s why Press-On Nails are the perfect solution. You get the look in the privacy of your own home, with zero judgment.
At TsukiNails, we believe style has no gender. Whether you want a clean, groomed look or a full rockstar vibe, here is how to pull it off.

1. Style 1: The "Invisible" Grooming
Not ready for color? No problem.

  • The Look: Matte Clear or Buffed Nude.

  • Why: It just looks like you have perfect hygiene. It hides biting habits and ragged cuticles.

  • Tsuki Pick: Barely There (Matte Finish). It looks like your natural nail, but better.

2. Style 2: The "Rockstar" Black
The gateway drug to nail art for men is almost always Black.

  • The Look: Short Round or Squoval in solid black (Glossy or Matte).

  • The Vibe: Edgy, grunge, and cool. It matches leather jackets, band tees, and silver rings perfectly.

  • Tsuki Pick: Midnight Matte or Obsidian.

3. Sizing for Men (Wide Nail Beds)
The biggest challenge for men is sizing.

  • The Reality: Men typically have wider, flatter nail beds than women.

  • The Solution: Do not buy standard "Small" kits. Go for Large or Custom.

  • Tsuki Tip: Measure your thumb width in millimeters. If it’s over 18mm, our Custom Sizing option is your best friend. We can craft wider nails that fit edge-to-edge comfortably.

4. Short & Functional
Unless you are going for a specific drag or artistic look, most men prefer Active Length (Short).

  • Why: It doesn't interfere with gaming, typing, or gym activities.

  • Shape: Short Squoval mimics the natural shape of a man's fingertip best.
