Press-On Nails
How long do press-on nails last?
With proper application using nail glue, our press-ons typically last 1-2 weeks. Using adhesive tabs, they last 1-3 days and are perfect for events or trying a style before committing.
Are press-on nails reusable?
Yes! If you use adhesive tabs, you can easily remove and reuse your nails multiple times. With glue, gentle removal allows for 2-3 uses. Each set comes with extra tabs for reapplication.
How accurate is the sizing tool?
Our quarter-based sizing tool is accurate within 0.5mm when used correctly. The key is good lighting, proper quarter placement, and following the photo guidelines. Over 95% of customers get a perfect fit on their first order.
What if my nails don't fit perfectly?
We include a gentle file with every set for minor adjustments. If a nail is significantly off, contact us within 14 days with photos and we'll send replacement nails in the correct size at no charge.
Are press-ons safe for my natural nails?
Absolutely! Unlike acrylics or gel extensions, press-ons don't require drilling or harsh chemicals. When applied and removed correctly, they're one of the gentlest nail enhancement options available.
What comes in each set?
Every set includes 10 custom-sized nails, professional nail glue, adhesive tabs for temporary wear, a prep kit (file, buffer, cuticle pusher, alcohol wipe), and detailed care instructions.

Yes! Custom orders include unlimited revisions to the digital preview. Once you approve and I start creating, minor adjustments are still possible—just reach out ASAP.

My nails keep popping off. Help!
This is usually a prep issue! Make sure your natural nails are clean, dry, and buffed before application. Avoid water for 1-2 hours after applying. Check out our application guide or DM us for personalized tips.
