Chillhouse earns mixed reviews: its press-on Chill Tips often look chic, draw compliments, and can last 1–3 weeks, but application and removal can be messy and durability varies. Reviews praise standout, trend-forward designs and comfortable wear, while noting thin tips, visible plastic look for some, inconsistent glue performance, limited lengths/sizing, and occasional chipping or damage on removal—useful context if deciding between press-ons and a salon manicure.

  • First time trying this brand and I was impressed. Bought these to wear for a concert and I was obsessed with them. I received many compliments on them. I kept them on for a week before taking them off. I love the convenience of being able to takeoff nails whenever I want.

  • I ordered two types of press-ons. They are cute, but unfortunately the glue is weak. They started falling off around day 6, not even due to pressure. They just would fall off, and often I wouldn't even feel it. I followed all the application rules. They also don't look very natural. I won't be buying them again.

  • Chillhouse nails are a vibe! This was my first ever time wearing press-ons and I was actually so impressed with these. They stayed on for weeks (I used a lot of glue…) There was nothing tacky about these and they come in a tasteful length even before filing them down. The process does take some getting used to (hello gluey hands.) The worst part really is that they don’t really all want to come off at the same time so the removal period is a bit of the pain.

  • definitely a cool brand, I really need to visit their flagship location. I am an affiliate, but prior to being one, this is a brand I truly love and recommend, although the price is a little high, they are great nails for fun occasions and photos!

  • It was my first time wearing press-ons and doing them myself too! It was such an easy process once i got used to working with the glue (definitely a bit of a learning curve!). Naturally, it also got more challenging when i already had half of the nails on one hand, but i think they turned out great! They were so comfy and didn’t snag onto clothes or my hair, even in the shower. I got so many compliments on them for the whole 2 weeks that I wore them and they looked perfect the whole time! The price is so good for what you get and the different designs are so unique. Definitely buying more in the future!

    I would love if the glue dried down quicker to avoid stickiness between the fingers!

  • These are the only press on that I've tried that actually stay on and let me continue my everyday activities. I picked up the blue checkered ones from target and received tons of compliments. They were easy to put on but did leave my cuticles feeling really sore for 24 hours but that might just be bc I was to aggressive in my application. They were difficult to take off so I recommend waiting until they are already starting to lift up before touching them. I ended up soaking them in warm water and then taking a dental floss under the lifted areas to remove them. My nails are slightly damaged but I was expecting that.

  • I am obsessed with these. They lasted 3 weeks for me and so easy to use. I did do a bit overboard with the glue but seriously so chic. I am not a long nail person and I loved these.

  • By far my favorite press on nail brand! I love their designs and the shape on the nail is perfect for everyday wear ~ not too long imo! Not to mention they last much longer than any other press on nail brand I’ve tried! They tell you to buff your nail and apply glue to both your nail and the press on for a long lasting effect. Currently the ones I am wearing have been on for a little over 2 weeks! My pointer finger and middle finger have a couple chips in the design at this point, I’ve debated trying to put a clear coat over them to try to save the designs but haven’t tried that yet! Love love love these forever and so much cheaper than a salon manicure 💅🏻

  • Overall happy with my experience, but I have a few caveats: - I am NOT a long nail or experienced nail girly. I had to trim these SIGNIFICANTLY to be anywhere near comfortable with typing with them. That customization was nice, but just added time to the process - Would reallllllllly recommend having a partner apply them for you. This was my first DIY press on nails experience and I went extra with the glue to the point of no return - not fun. Other than that, the experience was easy and the result looks great! TBD on durability but we'll see :)

  • These nails are so bomb and you need to get your hands on them. If you're someone who has anxiety and you don't want to wait a few hours in the salon then these Chillhouse nails are for you. The nails can honestly last up to 3 weeks with the proper care. They do not pop off easily when they are pressed up against hard surfaces. The only con, I will say is that after the third week some of the nail art was coming off and that's really an easy fix. Just use a clear gel nail polish and you will be good to go!!

    When your nails are applied properly, go over them with a clear nail polish (preferably gel) to help keep the nail art from rubbing off.

  • Honestly love these press on nails. I tried a pair on once and it was an easy process. It did stay on for 2 weeks. I got so many compliments on it! This is def changing the nail game for me.

    Need more medium size nail beds.

  • Super fun designs and incredibly easy to use. The shape of the nails fit perfectly on me and I have to do very minimal filing. Very budget friendly as they've lasted over 2 weeks for me!

    Can be hard to get off when you're ready for a new design.

  • The press-ons did not last on my nails more than 20 minutes. I put these on to go get a covid vax in march 2021 (glam!) and by the time i got into cvs i was already missing two nails. by the time i left, another 3 were on their last limb. I also really struggled to open the glue. cool designs though

  • If you use press ons regularly and you're looking for an upgrade in terms of design, packaging and application that doesn't feel... I don't know... stuck in the 80's... this is probably a good buy for you. If you're not a press on nail girlie and you're thinking this is an alternative to a Chillhouse mani or a salon manicure, it's not! These nails definitely are visibly plastic. If you want them to look less so, you'll need to file them into the right shape. There's a chance the filing removes the nail art as well, so it's sort of a toss up and depends on if your nail beds are the right size to fit their sizing options. I like these! I don't think I will buy them again because I'd rather not put glue on my nail and would rather pay more for a manicure. In a nail emergency they could be good.

    These tips are billed as reusable-- I'll just caveat that they are not. They're going to be gross and completely toast by the time they pop off your nail, which makes sense cause you're just gluing a piece of thin plastic to your finger. They do include extras for different sizing, so you might be able to get more bang for your buck by filing those into the right shape or size for your nail and using them up too.

  • I was surprised how easy these chill tips are - and it came clutch for my friend's wedding. I bought the french nails and I thought it was funny and surprising that everyone asked where I got my nails done. I felt amazing in them. I also like that I can reuse them, and shave them down when I need to.

    Feedback

    The sizes on these tips! I feel like I have way too many large sizes for me in a box that I feel bad for not needing to use once. I wish there was a way that I can donate these sizes back for other humans to use, otherwise they're going in the trash :(

  • My friends swear by these, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. If you are someone who is used to getting acrylics done at the nail salon for $50+, you are you going to have a hard time with ANY type of other press-on nail, even Chill Tips. Are these the most unique and likely high quality? Yes, so far that I've seen. Do they stay on well enough for someone like me? No. You can't change your habits, If you are a press-on girl, this should be your choice without a doubt.

  • the press ons are okay. they definitely have fun designs but the quality wasn’t as great as I was hoping for. They’re a bit thin. but overall very cute!

  • I went to Chillhouse for a facial and it was great. Really cool vibe, affordable and relaxing

  • I LOVE the design on these nails - I don't love the glue and would prefer glue stickers, but adore the colors, designs, and how they're all so funky. Will definitely be purchasing these again and again!
