sizing
how do i find my size?
lay the nails out and match one to each of your natural nails, thumb to pinky. pick the size that covers your nail from side wall to side wall without touching your skin. if you're between two sizes, go for the larger one and gently file the sides to fit.
which shape should i choose?
short square is easy, everyday and great if you type a lot. almond is a soft, elongating shape with a little more length. stiletto is long and pointed for a bold look.
application
how do i apply them?
- wash and dry your hands, push back your cuticles and lightly buff the shine off your nails.
- wipe each nail with rubbing alcohol so it's clean and oil-free.
- size all ten nails before you start.
- add a thin layer of nail glue (or an adhesive tab) to your natural nail and a tiny drop to the press-on.
- place it at your cuticle at a slight angle, press it down and hold firmly for 20 to 30 seconds.
- keep your hands out of water for 1 to 2 hours so the glue can fully set.
glue or adhesive tabs?
glue gives the longest, strongest wear. adhesive tabs are gentler and great for a weekend or a special event, but they won't last as long.
wear
how long do they last?
with glue and good prep, press-ons can last up to two weeks. adhesive tabs usually last a few days. wear time depends on your nails, your prep and how much you use your hands, especially in water.
any tips to make them last longer?
prep is everything: buff and alcohol-wipe before applying. avoid long soaks and hot water for the first couple of hours, wear gloves for cleaning and dishes, and use your fingertips, not your nails, to open things.
removal & reuse
how do i take them off?
soak your fingertips in warm, soapy water (a little cuticle oil helps) for 10 to 15 minutes, or use glue remover around the edges. once they loosen, gently lift from the side with a cuticle stick. never pry or pull them off, as this can damage your natural nails.
can i reuse them?
yes! after removal, gently buff any leftover glue off the back of each nail, then store them somewhere safe and dry. with careful removal, you can wear the same set again.
orders & shipping
how does the bundle discount work?
mix any press-on shades and shapes. our best deal is buy 3, get 2 free: add 5 sets and you only pay for 3, because the 2 cheapest sets are free. every order of 3 or more sets ships free. the free sets come off automatically in your bag, no code needed.
can i use a discount code with the bundle deal?
bundle deals don't combine with each other or with discount codes (like our welcome code). at checkout you get one offer, so pick whichever saves you more.
when will my order ship?
we pack every order with care and you'll get an email with tracking as soon as it's on its way. delivery times depend on your location and the shipping method you choose at checkout. see our shipping policy for details.
can i return my press-ons?
for hygiene reasons, please check our refund policy before you order. if something arrives damaged or isn't right, get in touch and we'll make it right.
