Nail Reformation x Sally Beauty Fall 2026 Press-On Nails: Release Date, Products & Prices

Nail Reformation x Sally lineup of six fall press-on designs in brown, amber, olive and mauve, with names and shapes.

Nail Reformation has launched six new press-on nail kits made for Sally Beauty. The Fall 2026 collection is priced at $15.99 each at Sally Beauty and went live on nailreformation.com on 1 October 2026. Sally Beauty announced the "6 NEW fall styles" on Instagram on 4 October 2026. They are available at sallybeauty.com and in Sally Beauty stores.

What's New

The Fall 2026 press-on nails follow a seasonal palette of chocolate browns, amber, olive and mauve. Several designs feature tortoiseshell and animal-inspired prints. Each design comes in one fixed shape. The descriptions below come from Nail Reformation's product pages.

Key Details

Sally Beauty charges a flat $15.99 for every kit. That is lower than Nail Reformation's own site, where prices run from $18 for the short almond styles to $22 for the long stilettos.

Sally Beauty lists the following in each kit:

  • 30/32 press-on nails (ABS plastic)
  • Nail glue
  • Cuticle oil
  • Cuticle trimmer
  • 2-in-1 file and buffer
  • Prep pad
  • Acrylic cuticle stick

How to Apply

Sally Beauty's product pages give these application steps:

  1. Clean your natural nails with the prep pad, push back the cuticles with the cuticle stick, and trim excess cuticle only if necessary.
  2. Buff the surface of your natural nails so the press-ons adhere better.
  3. Pick the nail size that fits each finger and set them aside in order.
  4. Dry your nails completely before applying.
  5. Apply an even layer of glue to the back of the press-on and a generous layer to your natural nail.
  6. Let the glue tack up for five seconds, then align the press-on under your cuticle and press down.

Candy Cane Cuties: 8 Mini Lakurs

According to LONDONTOWN, the shades take you "from first snow to final RSVP". The brand says the set moves from sheer shades and creamy neutrals for everyday wear to shimmer and one bold colour for party nights. Two shades are described as holographic and two as shimmering. The eight shades are:

One-Step Mini Magic: Colour Plus Care

LONDONTOWN calls this an exclusive holiday set of its One-Step Manicures. According to the brand, you choose by benefit: strengthen, brighten, revive or hydrate. The brand describes the four products as:

  • Sheer Strength Nail Blush in Hibiscus: a 2-in-1 nail hardener and glow booster in a sheer violet flush
  • Pink Illuminating Nail Concealer: an instant colour corrector with a milky pink finish
  • Perfecting Nail Veil #11 in Fig: a hint of colour packed with care
  • Glow Getter Nail Luminizer (original): a nail perfector with a plumping shimmer finish

Where to Buy

What Makes the LONDONTOWN Holiday 2026 Mini Nail Sets Different?

  • The two sets use different formats. Candy Cane Cuties holds eight Lakur colours, while One-Step Mini Magic holds four care-plus-colour products the brand groups by benefit.
  • Ulta's listing says the One-Step products need no base coat or top coat.
  • Each set costs less than its stated separate value: $43 against $96, and $28 against $56.

The sets add to this season's nail gifting launches, alongside the Manucurist Advent Calendars 2026: Time to Shine and Time to Flash. Among other new nail releases is the Nail Reformation x Sally Beauty Fall 2026 Press-On Nails collection. For another Holiday 2026 set sold online at Ulta Beauty, see Winky Lux Frosty the Lip Balm Holiday 2026. More launches are on our makeup releases page.

Formula and Packaging

According to LONDONTOWN, Lakur is vegan and "21+ free." The brand says the formula contains conditioning botanicals, including garlic bulb extract, evening primrose, chamomile, cucumber, vitamin E and biotin. It also describes the formula as self-levelling and applied with a pro-contour brush.

Ulta lists the One-Step products as made with LONDONTOWN's Nourishing Florium Complex. This is the brand's proprietary blend of rapeseed flower oil, cucumber, garlic, evening primrose and chamomile extracts, and vitamin E. Ulta lists them as free from:

  • formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin
  • toluene and xylene
  • phthalates (including DBP)
  • camphor
  • ethyl tosylamide
  • acetone
  • TPHP
  • bisphenol A

Ulta also notes the set cannot be shipped via air.

Both sets come in red-and-pink candy-cane-striped boxes with green scalloped tops.

How to Use

For Lakur, LONDONTOWN's directions start with a base coat, then 1–2 coats of colour once the first layer has dried, sealed after 10–15 seconds. To speed drying, the brand suggests 1–2 drops of its Accelerating Drying Oil at the cuticle. For One-Step Mini Magic, Ulta's listing says to apply 1–2 coats directly onto clean nails, with no base coat or top coat needed.
