it started with a stand
I created these stands in April 2024 with the help of my husband after realizing that the ones on the market just weren’t cutting it for my press-on workflow. They were bulky, flimsy, and—let’s be real—not cute. As a designer, I wanted something functional and fun to use—something that felt on-brand and made creating even more enjoyable.
After lots of trial and error, prototyping, and testing (with the help of a few fellow press-on artists in the community as testers), we built these stands from scratch to meet real artist needs.
Every product is thoughtfully designed, 3D-modeled, printed, and assembled by hand in my home studio. Thank you for supporting my original creations—made by a press-on artist, for press-on artists and nail techs!

HOT TAKES
"Rachel has curated a the whole beautiful experience around the ordering & care process and it is fabulous! When I received the kit with the custom set of press on nails, I was blown away. I can’t get enough of how pretty the set of press on nails are. They are delicately painted yet strong and durable. They are very easy to apply. I use the adhesive stickers to put them on. And because they are made so well with great quality and care, I have been using the set multiple times. I have a ton of sensitivities to chemicals and gel nails are not an option for me because of that. Press on nails are a perfect solution for me and my allergies. I can’t wait to order my next sets of nails from Rachel."

"Play Grnd Nails made me the most awesome pair of Burberry plaid inspired nails! They were sized perfectly (I gave tiny finger nails, and most nails are too large for me). Super, duper easy to apply as well! I just love them!!!"
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Rachel has rad taste and is an amazing designer. When she posts nail design inspo on IG, I have to talk myself out of ordering every design because they’re so on trend and fun. I also love that I can make special design requests and she enjoys the opportunity to try something new, so my nails always feel super fresh. Sets come in a timely manner and are durable and reusable. (I’ve had some sets for over six months!) Last, I LOVE that she’ll make replacement nails in case you lose one like I did at the Austin Film Festival last year. So happy I didn’t have to trash my fave set! She’s the best!! 🖤"
