Why go for plain, basic manicures when you can enjoy artistic nails with minimal effort? Skip the pricey salon manis with a long wait for these cheap nail stickers that are an ideal beauty gift on a budget. These beauty editor-approved nail stickers are affordable (my selections cost $16 or less), come in various colorways and designs, and are a breeze to apply. Simply peel and stick, and you're good to go!

What's so fantastic about these modern-day nail stickers is they come in a ridiculously fun variety of prints. There are holiday-inspired Christmas and Halloween stickers, abstract smiley faces for your favorite unique Aquarius, and an adorable Hello Kitty multipack.

For those into classic artwork, one cheap Amazon brand makes nail stickers inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's iconic "Starry Night" painting. Those obsessed with Hailey Bieber, on the other hand, can recreate her signature glazed donut manicures on their fingernails and toenails with Dashing Diva nail stickers.

Regardless of which pack you order, they make a fantastic treat for yourself and your lucky loved ones, including a sister, girlfriend, best friend, or even colleague.

The French manicure is a classic beauty look that's been in for decades but is also seeing a recent spike, due to the current Y2K renaissance. Skip the time-consuming salon manicure and get an instant polished look without the wait with these nail stickers.

Each set includes three shapes and lengths of white tips: square, almond, and round. What we love most about these nail stickers is you can easily paint them to customize your look without the mess. Reviewers say their nail polish applies smoothly and doesn't bubble over the stickers.
