Frequently asked Questions

How to size your nails?

A sizing kit is the most accurate way to measure your nails. Sizes may vary with different shapes. Nail beds can vary in height, width and curvature, a sizing kit helps to eliminate guess work. A sizing kit is highly recommended. 

Measure at home:

Using tape or a measuring tape, place the tape from side wall to side wall at the widest part of the nail bed. Repeat for each nail and write down your sizes in mm or cm.

How long do your press-on nails last?

Our nails typically last over 2 weeks with proper application and care. Use the included prep kit and follow our step-by-step guide for the best hold.

Are your nails reusable?

Yes! If you remove them gently and clean off any adhesive, our nails can be reused multiple times. See below on how to remove nails. Store them safely in the original packaging between uses.

What comes in the application kit?

Every press on nail comes with an application kit included. Inside the Application kit you will find:

  • Nail File and Buffer
  • Alcohol Wipe
  • Cuticle stick
  • Glue tabs
  • Liquid Glue

Do I need glue or adhesive tabs?

We include both glue and adhesive tabs in every order, so you can choose what works best for your lifestyle.

  • Tabs = short-term wear (1–2 days)
  • Glue = long-lasting hold (~2 weeks)

How do I apply the nails?

  • Remove all nail enhancements, wash and dry hands.
  • Gently push back the cuticles using the cuticle stick. Optional: Trim the cuticle.
  • Lightly buff the nail bed with the buffer/file to remove the natural shine of the nail.
  • Use the alcohol wipe the sanitise and dehydrate the nail bed.
  • Apply a dab of glue on the centre of your nail and the back of the press on.  Do one nail at a time. Pro tip: Apply the thumb last.
  • Starting at a 45 degree angle align the nail with your cuticle and press down firmly. Hold the pressure for up to 15 seconds.
  • Avoid water for at least 1 hour after application.

How do I remove the nails safely?

  • Pour warm water, dish soap and olive oil into a bowl.
  • Soak hands in warm water until the glue loosens.
  • Using the cuticle stick, gently peel the nail off slowly.
  • If feeling resistance, do not force the nail off, re soak the nails.
  • Use the file to remove excess glue from the nail bed and press ons, so they’re ready to use again.
