Nail stickers offer a super-easy way to create salon-worthy manicures at home, and there are tons of affordable options on Amazon. The best nail stickers take the hard work out of nail art, and when applied correctly, they’ll last for days (or even weeks!) without chipping — which is something that can’t always be said for regular nail polish.

There are two types of nail stickers: wraps and decals. Both types are self-adhesive and easy to apply, so your choice depends on what kind of design you’re looking for. Wraps cover the whole nail and they’re available in solid colors or feature eye-catching designs. In some cases, nail wraps are made from semi-cured gel and finished with a UV nail lamp for extra long-lasting wear.

On other other hand, decals are smaller, adding fun details — like stars or flowers — to an already manicured nail. Most decals are self-adhesive, but you’ll also see water transfer decals when browsing on Amazon. Some at-home manicurists find water transfer decals harder to apply, so I’ve only included self-adhesive options on this list. And whether you prefer nail wraps or decals, it helps to seal your manicure with a protective top coat.

From edgy to sweet to minimalist, the best nail stickers have designs for every personality. Find your favorites below.
