PRESS ON NAILS
Do they come with glue?
Yes, each nail set includes a mini nail glue and sticky tabs for a quick and secure application. For more precision, you can also purchase our brush-on nail glue separately.
What if I can’t find the right shape for my nails?
We offer a wide variety of shapes and sizes to suit different nail types. If you’re struggling to find the perfect fit, opt for a slightly larger size and gently file the edges to achieve a custom fit.
What are the nails made from?
Our press-on nails are crafted from premium gel, providing flexibility and a natural, seamless look that plastic alternatives can’t match. They are customizable to fit your nail bed perfectly.
How durable are they?
Our press-on nails are built to last up to three weeks with proper care. They are durable for daily activities but, like salon nails, avoid harsh chemicals or excessive force to help them last longer.
Can I reuse the nails?
Yes, you can! With careful removal and proper care, our nails are reusable. Simply clean off any glue residue after removal, and they’ll be ready for your next application.
How do I remove the nails?
To remove, soak your nails in a mix of warm water, soap, and oil for 10-20 minutes. Use a cuticle stick to gently lift the edges and ease off the nails to protect your natural nails from damage.
How do I apply the nails?
Applying is easy! Start by prepping your nails—gently file them and push back your cuticles. Use the included alcohol pad to remove oils. Apply a small amount of glue to both your natural nail and the press-on nail. Press the nail on and hold for 30 seconds, starting at a 45-degree angle from the cuticle. This helps prevent air bubbles. For a full tutorial, check out our how-to video.
How are these different from other nails?
Our press-on nails are made entirely from high-quality gel, offering salon-level results with the convenience of at-home application. Unlike other brands, they’re durable, stylish, and practical for everyday wear.
How long do they last?
With proper application and care, our nails have been reported to last up to three weeks!
Can I change the length or shape?
Yes! You can easily file our nails to your preferred length or shape without compromising their quality. You can also file the sides to fit your nail bed perfectly.
Tips for Application: How can I make the nails last longer?
Proper prep is key for long-lasting nails. Start by cleaning your nails thoroughly, lightly buffing the surface, and removing oils. When applying glue, gently press and massage the nail to push out air bubbles. Avoid water for the first two hours after application. For more tips, watch our tutorial on the How-to page.
