Great question! Press-on nails have come a long way — here's why more and more people are making the switch: 💰 Cost A salon set can cost anywhere from $60–$150+ per visit. Press-on nails give you the same stunning result at a fraction of the price — and you can reuse them multiple times. ⏱️ Time No booking, no waiting, no sitting under a lamp for an hour. Press-ons can be applied in under 10 minutes from the comfort of your own home. 🛡️ Nail Health Salon acrylics and hard gels require filing and drilling that can weaken and damage your natural nails over time. Press-ons are non-damaging when applied and removed correctly, keeping your natural nails healthy underneath. 🎨 Variety Want a different look every week? With press-ons you can switch up your style as often as you like — no commitment, no fill appointments. ✈️ Convenience Perfect for travel, last-minute events, or whenever your schedule just doesn't allow a salon visit. ♻️ Reusable With proper care, our press-on sets can be worn multiple times — making them even better value for money.

The longevity of your press-on nails depends on how they are applied. Sticky tabs — ideal for short-term wear such as events or weekends, lasting around 3–4 days. Nail glue — for a longer-lasting hold, nail glue can keep your press-ons looking flawless for up to 3–4 weeks. For the best results, we always recommend prepping your natural nails properly before application — clean, dry nails with no oils or moisture will help your press-ons stay on longer, no matter which method you choose.

We know that every hand is unique — nails come in all different shapes and sizes, and finding your perfect fit makes all the difference. Our press-on nail kits come in either a 24 or 30 piece set in a one-size-fits-all kit, giving you a range of sizes to work with so you can find the best fit for each finger. How to measure your nails: The best way to find your size is to measure your nails before purchasing. Always refer to our sizing chart when browsing — you'll find it listed on each product page. (insert measuring method steps here) 💡 Tips for the best fit: Measure at the widest point of your nail bed When between two sizes, always size up — a slightly larger nail can be filed down to fit perfectly Never force a nail that feels too tight, as this can cause lifting

Before You Start — Prep is Everything No matter which method you choose, always start with clean, dry nails. Use the included cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles, then wipe each nail with the included alcohol pad to remove any oils or moisture. This step is key to a long-lasting hold. Method 1 — Sticky Tabs (short-term wear, 3–4 days) Prep and clean your nails as above Select the correct size press-on for each finger Peel the sticky tab and apply it to your natural nail Align the press-on nail and press down firmly for 10–15 seconds Avoid water for at least 1 hour after application Method 2 — Nail Glue (long-term wear, up to 3–4 weeks) We recommend applying nail glue using the Nina Pool method for the strongest hold. Prep and clean your nails as above Apply a thin layer of nail glue to your natural nail Allow the glue to sit and dry slightly — don't press the nail on just yet Before applying, give your natural nail a quick wipe with the alcohol pad Apply a thin layer of glue to both your natural nail and the inside of the press-on nail, then give your natural nail one more quick wipe with the alcohol pad — this reactivates the glue and allows both surfaces to fuse together for a stronger, more secure bond Align the press-on nail from the cuticle down and press firmly for 20–30 seconds Avoid water, washing up, and heavy hand activity for at least 1–2 hours after application

Removing your press-on nails safely is just as important as applying them. Never force or rip your nails off — this can damage your natural nails underneath. Follow one of the methods below for a safe and gentle removal. Method 1 — Warm Water Soak (gentlest method) Fill a bowl with warm, soapy water Soak your nails for 10–15 minutes Once you feel the nails beginning to loosen, gently wiggle them from side to side Use the included cuticle pusher to gently lift from the sides and ease the nail off Never force — if there is resistance, soak for a few more minutes Method 2 — Cuticle Pusher (quick removal) Gently insert the cuticle pusher under the edge of the press-on nail at the cuticle Slowly and carefully work it along the sides to loosen the nail Apply gentle upward pressure until the nail lifts off If you feel any resistance, do not force it — switch to the warm water soak method instead. Method 3 — Nail Oil or Cuticle Oil Apply a generous amount of nail or cuticle oil around the edges of each nail Allow it to sit for 5–10 minutes to break down the adhesive Use the cuticle pusher to gently ease the nails off This method is especially great for keeping your natural nails nourished during removal After removal, gently clean any leftover glue or adhesive from the press-on using a cotton pad and a small amount of acetone. Store them back in their original tray to keep their shape and protect them for next time.
