How long will the nails last?
How long the nails stay on your natural nail depends on a few things: prep, care, and type of adhesion used. Given proper prep and care,
- Jelly tabs: 2-4 days
- Nail glue: 4-6 days
- UV jelly tabs: up to 3 weeks
- Gel glue: up to 3 weeks
There are other types of nail adhesives available too, such as UV gel glues.
The nails themselves are fully handmade & reusable. They are made with salon-grade soft gel tips & hand-painted with gel polish for a luxe, durable finish. This means they are as strong as acrylic, but gentler on your natural nails to minimise damage when removing.
As such, they can last for a very long time!
If the nails do break, we offer replacements. Or if you're really bored of them and ready for a new set, you can take the nail charms off for your own projects.
NOTE: These estimates can vary based on individual lifestyle factors and whether the correct application technique was used.
Are the nails reusable?
A million percent YES. All our nails are made with salon-grade soft gel tips & hand-painted with gel polish for durability and reusability.
However, the ease of reuse can vary depending on your chosen application method. After safely removing the nails,
Jelly Tabs: can be peeled off the back of the nail, ready for reuse
Nail Glue: can be buffed off the back of the nail. A cotton bud dipped in acetone can remove stubborn glue residue
UV Jelly Tabs: can be peeled off the press-on with alcohol, or using our Pop Off Polish
Gel Glue: can be removed from the press-on with the remover provided
How do I apply the nails?
For best results, always prep your nails first.
Nail Prep
- Push back your cuticles, remove if necessary
- Buff your natural nail to remove natural oils and shine
- Wipe your nail with an alcohol to remove debris and oils
Application
Gel tabs: find the correct sized tab for your finger. It should cover your entire nail from side to side. Stick one side on your nail, and apply the false nail at 45 degree angle to push out any air bubbles. Press and hold.
Nail glue: put a small dot on the underside of the false nail. Spread this dot of glue across your own nail. Apply the false nail at 45 degree angle to push out any air bubbles. Press and hold
UV gel tabs: find the correct sized tab for your finger. It should cover your entire nail from side to side. Stick one side on your nail, and apply the false nail at 45 degree angle to push out any air bubbles. Press and hold, then cured under a UV lamp from all angles.
Gel glue: put a small dot on the underside of the false nail. Spread this dot of glue across your own nail. Apply the false nail at 45 degree angle to push out any air bubbles. Press and hold
NOTE: With all application methods, try to avoid water and oily substances for at least 2 hours after application. This includes foods, lotions, and cleaning, etc.
The stronger the adhesion used, the longer the nails will last, but also the harder it will be to remove. Choose wisely!
How do I remove the nails?
Removal of the nails depends on which type of application method you have used.
It's always best to start by soaking your hands in warm, soapy water for 10 minutes, then apply some form of oil.
For,
Jelly tabs: use an orange stick to gently lift the nail from the edges. Soak for longer and use more oil if needed
Nail glue: use an orange stick to gently lift the nail from the edges. Soak for longer and use more oil if needed
UV Jelly tabs: use an orange stick to gently lift the nail from the edges. Spray alcohol into the gap created. Soak for longer and use more oil if needed, repeat.
Gel Glue: use an orange stick to gently lift the nail from the edges. Apply the gel glue remover in the gap created. Soak for longer and use more oil if needed, repeat.
To remove glue from the false nails,
Jelly Tabs: can be peeled off the back of the nail, ready for reuse
Nail Glue: can be buffed off the back of the nail. A cotton bud dipped in acetone can remove stubborn glue residue
UV Jelly Tabs: can be peeled off the press-on with alcohol, or using our Pop
Off Polish
Gel Glue: can be removed from the press-on with the remover provided
NOTE: Never pull, rip, or forcibly remove the nails. Not only can this be painful, it can also cause damage to your natural, and false nails.
The stronger the adhesion used, the longer the nails will last, but also the harder it will be to remove. Choose wisely!
Will this harm my natural nails?
In short, no. No/minimal damage will occur if you follow our best practices, from proper prep to gentle removal.
In general, jelly tabs are the safest, most gentle option for your nails. As such, if your lifestyle requires you to change/reapply nails frequently, we would recommend jelly tabs.
We recommend giving your natural nails a break in between applications if you are using glue/gel glue regularly.
The stronger the adhesion used, the longer the nails will last, but also the harder it will be to remove, and greater chance of damage (if any). Choose wisely!
Why do my nails fall off easily?
The most common reasons press-on nails drop off prematurely are due to reasons such as the following:
- Poor prep - follow our "how to apply" guide
- Debris/oil on surface of natural nail - use alcohol and lint free wipes to wipe the surface of your natural nail
- Improper application of the press-on nails - follow our "how to apply" guide
- The size of your press on is wrong - see our sizing guide to find your best fit
For any other queries or help, get in touch!
Can I file or cut the nails?
100% Yes! In fact, we recommend doing this to ensure you have the best size and fit for long-lasting wear!
We recommend doing this before you apply the nails. Just make sure to wipe off any debris so that it doesn't interfere with application!
NOTE: No refunds can be issued, for any reason, once you have made any kind of alterations to the press on nails
Are press-ons better than other forms of nail enhancements?
If you're asking me - yes! I may be biased, but at least hear me out!
Our nails are as strong as acrylic, but gentler on your natural nails to minimise damage when removing. Even when you use our gel glue, the removal is still safer than the removal of acrylics.
Quick & easy application/removal means change your look as often as you like, for whatever reason! Try mix and matching your nails for an entirely unique look! However you want, whenever you want! Flexibility is key.
Affordable glam—get salon-worthy nails without the salon price tag (or the wait!). One set can be reused time and time again.
Unlike nail foils, press-ons give you length should you want it! And it not, they can be filed down.
I think the greatest worry is that nails fall off easily. Yes, if you're living in the 90s. Things have changed now, and nail glues, even the tabs, have become much stronger!
