Press-On Nail FAQ
Everything you need to know about sizing, application, wear, removal, reuse, shipping, and one-of-a-kind acrylic sets.
What makes these press-on nails different?
These are not simply gel-painted tips. Each set is handcrafted using colored acrylic, with nail art layered, inlaid, and encapsulated within the nail itself. Every nail is then shaped, filed, and finished by hand.
Are the nails reusable?
Yes. With proper care, the nails can be worn multiple times. The number of wears will vary depending on how long they’re worn each time, how they’re removed, how the glue is cleaned off, and overall care.
How long do they last?
Wear time depends on preparation, fit, adhesive, and lifestyle. Nail glue can provide approximately one to two weeks of wear, while adhesive tabs are better suited to shorter wear.
How do I know whether a set will fit?
Each listing includes the exact sizes and measurements included in that set. Measure all ten natural nails and compare them with the product’s sizing chart before purchasing.
What should I do if I am between sizes?
Choose the larger size. A nail that is too small may feel uncomfortable, tight or lift.
What comes with each set?
Each set includes the finished acrylic nails, nail glue, a file and mini buffer, 2 wooden cuticle sticks, alcohol wipes, tabs, a dust brush and application and care instructions.
How do I apply them?
Prepare the natural nails by gently pushing back the cuticles, removing surface shine, dusting any dust off and then cleaning each nail with alcohol pads. Apply glue to the back of the press-on, place it down, and hold firmly for 30–60 seconds.
How do I remove them safely?
Soak the nails in warm soapy water with oil for 10–15 minutes. Gently lift them as the glue loosens using your orange wood stick. Never pull or force them off.
Can I use adhesive tabs instead of glue?
Yes. Adhesive tabs are useful for shorter wear and can make removal easier. Nail glue is better for longer wear. I include both with your order
Are the sets one of a kind?
The seasonal collections are. A future set may use a similar colour palette or technique, but the exact design will not be duplicated.
Do you offer custom orders?
Not currently. The main focus is one-of-a-kind, ready-to-wear sets. Limited custom openings may be offered in the future with enough interest
Are all sets the same size format?
No. Seasonal ready-to-wear sets may include 20-24 nails, Salon series will offer 16 and is set in S/M/L + alt sizes for a flexible fit. Always review what's included and the measurements in the individual listings
Are press-on nails final sale?
Yes. Due to hygiene considerations and the handmade nature of the product, all press-on nail sets are final sale. Please review the sizing, shape, length, photos, and measurements carefully before purchasing.
How quickly will my order ship?
Ready-to-ship orders are normally dispatched within 1-3 business days.
Do you offer local pickup?
Local pickup may be available in the Victoria area. Pickup details are provided after checkout.
