Tips for your nose

All articles

Always wondered how a nose piercing would look on you, but not keen on a needle? With a fake nose piercing you get the look in seconds, with no hole and no waiting for anything to heal. You clip it around your nostril and that's it. In this collection you'll find clips with a stone, heart or rose and rings in all sorts of shapes, in gold and silver.

What exactly is a fake nose piercing?

A fake nose piercing, also called a faux or clip on nose piercing, sits around the edge of your nostril instead of through it. There are two kinds. A clip on nose piercing has a U shape: the decorated part sits on the outside and a tiny ball on the inside holds it in place. A fake nose ring is a little ring you clip around your nostril. From a distance, a clip with a stone looks just like a real nose stud.

The clips at a glance

Rather have a hoop? All the rings, from smooth to moon or butterfly, are also under fake nose rings.

How to pick your nose piercing, no hole needed

Start with your own style. Want something small for every day? A stone or heart is a safe bet. Up for more bling? Go for the bar or a ring full of stones. Then look at the color: if you mostly wear gold jewelry, a fake nose piercing in gold is the obvious match. Silver looks fresher and a little edgier. Still unsure? Our blog gold or silver: how to choose explains it all.

Left or right doesn't matter. Handy tip: pick the side your hair doesn't fall over, so it stays nicely visible.

On your nose in four steps

  1. Hold the clip with the opening facing your nose.
  2. Slide it around the edge of your nostril: the ball goes inside, the decorated part stays outside.
  3. Press gently and check in the mirror that it's in the right spot.
  4. Too loose? Squeeze it a tiny bit tighter, very carefully. Pinching? Bend it open just a touch.

An open ring works almost the same way. On how it works you'll find the steps for each type of piercing.

Styling and storing

One clip is subtle, two is a statement. Pair a stone with a small ring on the same side, or wear something different on each side. Off to a party? Bring the bar full of stones. More ideas in which fake piercing suits you.

Take your nose piercing out before you sleep or work out, and never squeeze it shut too hard. Then put it back in the white NONPIERCED box it came in, so you always know where it is.
