Nail Care/FAQ

Hello! Welcome - a bit about our press-on nails.

1. All nail tips are sized from 0-9, with zero being the largest. It’s important to have the correct size because:

• If a nail is too small, it could pinch the nail bed, causing pain and discomfort
• If a nail is too large, you risk gaps around the edges, eventually leading to water entering and hair snagging
In both cases, the nail can pop off prematurely.

2. Properly prepping your nail is 🔑 Prepping includes:
• Wiping away excess oils using alcohol
• Having dry hands
• Pushing back cuticles
• Buffing off the shiny layer from the nail bed
• (Trimming your nails is optional)

3. Remember, glue is your friend! Apply glue on both, the underside of the press on nail and your nail bed. The amount of glue can be determined based on how long you wish to wear your nails.

4. There are several types of adhesives out there, but we’ve found that a brush on nail glue works best. It applies even amounts of glue to the surface of the nails, without the mess of excess glue and easily avoids air gaps. Excess glue can potentially ruin your nail design!

PS - When applying glue avoid any "air gaps" or bubbles under the nail. Apply the nail starting from the cuticle and press down.

5. Cure time! With most glues they need time to dry - avoid water for 1-2 hours post application to allow the glue to fully bond.

Are all the nail shapes the same size?

Most are the same, but due to variances in shapes in lengths, some nail shapes have different sizing. The best option is to order a sizing kit in your preferred shape. 

Disclaimer:

There are variances between nail shapes due to different styles and shapes. Please use respective sizing kits.

PLEASE NOTE: Medium stiletto runs smaller than the average nail shapes. Sizing with this shape will only work for this shape and none others.

What is included with my nail set?

Every set comes with 10 nails, nail file, buffer, and a cuticle stick.

How do I remove my nails?

Soak in warm/hot soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. Utilize the cuticle stick to pry around the edges and loosen the nail until it is safely removed.

How do I select a finish/what is the difference?

Do you prefer gloss or matte finish on your nails? Both are beautiful but here’s some things to keep in mind:

Matte can be considered a photogenic finish and looks beautiful. However, matte is a porous top coat and will eventually absorb oils from your hands, lotions, make up etc., and will appear “dirty” much faster. Nail sets will degrade in quality after 3 days. Pro tip: Use alcohol to refresh your nails. Avoid lighter nail colors.

Ultimately, gloss provides the best protection. The hard diamond top coat won’t allow for materials to absorb into it and will hold shape much longer. Pro tip: always choose gloss when using glitters
