How do I wear the press on nails?

Remove the nail file and lightly polish the nail surface to remove grease. Wipe the nails surface clean with an alcohol cotton pad, then let dry. Choose the right size press-on nails and stick the jelly glue on the back of the nails. Press the nails from the front edge of the nail root for about 10 seconds until firmly attached. After pasting, use the nail file to correct the edges neatly.

How long can I wear the press on nails?

If you follow the correct operating steps, sticky tabs can make your press-ons last for 5-7 days. Our set comes with 6 sticky tabs, which can be used up to 6 times. Nail glue can prolong the wear time for up to 15-20 days. We recommend using sticky tabs for initial wear and switching to glue after a certain period to maximize the use of press-on nails.

How do I remove the press on nails?

The best way to remove press on nails is to soak them in warm soapy water for 3-5 minutes, then use a wooden stick to lift the edge and gently wiggle it around to remove it.

Q: How do I order custom sizing?

Q: Why do some nail sets show more shape options than others?

Each nail set is initially designed with one default shape, which reflects the intended look of the design. To better suit different wearing preferences, we offer a variety of shape options. Only the default shape is photographed during the product shoot. Images of other shapes come from real customer orders. Whenever a new shape is made and completed, we take photos and upload them to help others preview their look. So, the more shape images you see, the more customers have already tried it!

EASIER THAN IT LOOKS

How to Start

Size — test-fit each nail one by one to find your size.
Prep — push back cuticles, buff, and clean with an alcohol pad.

Pick a tab — choose the size that matches your nail.
Apply — press the tab down slowly at a 45° angle so no air gets trapped.
Press — press on, center to edges.

TIP: Air bubbles are the number one reason press-ons pop off. Make sure the tab sits flat against the nail, and press down at a 45° angle to push the air out. It really does hold better.

Apply glue — a thin layer on both the natural nail and the press-on.
Press — align at the cuticle and hold 15 seconds.

TIP: Go easy on the glue so it doesn't seep out and stick where you don't want it. Skip glue if you only need them for a week.

Dispense — press a small amount onto the inside of the press-on.
Clean up — press it onto your nail, then scrape the excess back into the jar.
Cure — hold the press-on in place with one hand and cure under a UV lamp for 120 to 240 seconds.

TIP: Only for clear, sheer, and light-colored nails. Skip solid glue for short wear.

Soak — warm soapy water for a few minutes.
Lift gently — ease off from the side, never force.
Oil — add a few drops of cuticle oil to help the adhesive let go.

TIP: If a nail still feels stuck, soak it again. Pulling it off takes your natural nail with it.

Can I order Pre-order items?

Yes! Pre-order items take 3–5 extra days to ship compared to regular items, as we need to source the specific gel polishes and materials (dried flowers, gems, etc.) for each new design.

How do I know what size to order?

You can measure your own nails and find your size from our size guide images. We have provided size charts and nail shape guides for each product link, making it easy for you to compare.
If you have measured your nails multiple times and the sizes differ within a 1mm range, and you are unsure of what size to choose, you can try the following:
Since the difference between each size is only 1mm, you can choose a slightly larger size if you are unsure. If it is slightly too big, you can use the nail file that comes with our set to achieve your desired size.
If you are not confident in measuring your nails, you can order our sizing kit, which contains a nail for each size, allowing you to find your perfect fit.
If you have any questions, please leave us a message and we will do our best to help you!
