Are your nails reusable?
Yes! Our press-on nails are made to be reused with proper care. Just gently remove the nail, clean off any adhesive residue, and store them in the original packaging or a safe container.
How long do press-on nails last?
They can last anywhere from 3 to 14 days depending on the adhesive used and how well you care for them. We offer both short-term and long-wear adhesive options. It's also possible to use any nail glue you like.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT use UV/GEL to glue your press-ons as it can result in an life-allergy due to uncured gel.
Are your products safe for natural nails?
Yes! Our press-on nails are designed with safety in mind. Unlike traditional salon methods that use harsh chemicals directly on the nail and skin, our nails are applied to a capsule that doesn’t touch your skin, making them a safer option—especially for those with sensitivities or allergies. Our founder created this brand after developing a skin allergy from salon products, so we understand how important it is to avoid irritants. Press-ons are not only reusable and gentle on natural nails, but they also reduce the risk of exposure to allergens. Please remember: skin allergies are serious and can’t be cured—prevention is key.
Do you offer custom designs?
Yes! We accept custom orders. You can send us inspiration photos or describe your ideal design, and we’ll work with you to create your dream set. Be aware that duplicating or reproducing any nail artists' designs is not one of our value so our sets will always include our own cignature.

Custom & Care
Do I need to prep my nails before applying?
Prepping your nails ensures better adhesion. We recommend cleaning, lightly buffing, and dehydrating your natural nails before applying press-ons. You can use the wood stick and the file provided. Keep your hands dry and do not use water for the next 2 hours of application.
How do I care for my press-on nails?
Avoid prolonged exposure to water, oils, and harsh chemicals for a longer grip. Store them in their box when not in use and clean off adhesive between wears. Pay attention to your press on and your own nail if you are using nail glue. It is also recommanded to take care of your nails during domestic chores or any activities.
Do not utilize acetone while wearing your nail.
Can I file or shape the nails myself?
Yes but! All our nails can be lightly filed to fit your nail bed but pay attention to chrome parts or designs as it may lead to damage.
