Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are press-on nails? Press-on nails are hand painted nails made so that you can easily apply at home using nail glue or adhesive tabs. They offer a quick, affordable, and stylish alternative to salon visits, allowing you to achieve a professional look in minutes.

2. How long do press-on nails last? The longevity of your press-on nails depends on how you apply and care for them. With proper application and care, they can last up to 1-2 weeks. Using nail glue typically provides a longer hold compared to adhesive tabs.

3. How do I apply press-on nails? Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

  • Clean your natural nails thoroughly and remove any old polish or oils.
  • Push back your cuticles using a cuticle stick.
  • Lightly buff your nails to create a rough surface for better adhesion.
  • Select the correct sizes for each nail from your press-on set.
  • Apply a thin layer of nail glue or attach adhesive tabs to your natural nails.
  • Press the press-on nail firmly onto your natural nail for 10-15 seconds.

4. Can I reuse press-on nails? Yes! Most press-on nails can be reused if they are removed carefully and kept clean. To extend their lifespan, avoid using excessive glue and store them in their original packaging.

5. How do I remove press-on nails safely? To remove press-on nails without damaging your natural nails:

  • Soak your hands in warm soapy water for 10-15 minutes to loosen the adhesive.
  • Gently lift the edges of the nails using a cuticle stick.
  • If needed, use an acetone-based nail polish remover to dissolve any remaining glue left on your natural nail.
  • Avoid pulling or forcing the nails off to prevent damage.

6. What sizes do the nails come in? Our press-on nails come in a variety of sizes to fit different nail shapes and widths. Simply measure your nails and chose the corresponding pre set size or custom sizing.

7. Can I trim or reshape the nails? No! Our press-on nails can be filed slightly, but not trimmed or reshaped as this could affect the structure of the nails.

8. Are press-on nails safe for my natural nails? Yes, press-on nails are safe when applied and removed correctly. They are a gentle alternative to traditional salon acrylics, as they don’t require harsh chemicals or extensive filing of your natural nails.
