How do I remove my nails?
To remove handmade press-on nails, gently soak your hands in warm soapy water. Gradually pry the edges until the nail comes off. Do not force the nail off as it may damage your natural nail.
How long do the nails stay on for?
Each of our kits comes with both sticky tabs and nail glue for your convenience. Sticky tabs are perfect for short-term wear, lasting about 3-4 days. For a longer-lasting option, consider using nail glue, which can stay on for up to 3 weeks if properly applied.
Can I reuse my nails?
Yes! Aftercare for your nails depends on the type of application as well. With sticky tabs, make sure to carefully remove the sticky tab from each nail. With nail glue, make sure you are removing the nails gently in warm, soapy water. Once your nails are removed and dry, please use a nail file to buff the inside of the nail for reuse.
What are they made of?
Our handmade press-on nails are made of high-quality gel tip materials for durability and a natural look. They are also vegan and cruelty-free.
Can I customize my nail design?
We currently do not offer customization options.
How do I care for my press-on nails?
- Don't soak your hands in water for extended periods. This can weaken the adhesive.
- Use gloves when doing chores or tasks that may damage the nails.
- Avoid substances like oil and lotion as they can break down the adhesive.
- If a nail starts to lift, don't force it off. Apply more glue and press it down.
