Why press on nails?
Press-on nails are perfect for everyday wear or for special events, parties, weddings, birthdays, photoshoots, etc. They are quick and easy to apply, and you can achieve salon quality results anywhere and anytime. They are reusable and extremely durable, and can last just as long as salon nail enhancements, saving you hours at the salon and lots of money, without compromising quality results. This also means that you are not exposed to harsh chemicals or UV as you would in a salon, making them healthier for your nails. Press-on nails are ideal for everyone - their application with sticky tabs is convenient for individuals unable to wear nail products to work but desire beautiful nails on their days off. These press-on nails are also completely customisable, giving you endless options for unique hand painted designs, exactly how you want them to look.
What is soft gel? Soft gel vs plastic? Why pick soft gel over other materials/extensions?
Soft gel extensions are thin, full-cover nail tips that add length to your natural nails, similar to regular press on-nails. They are high quality press-on nails made of gel, unlike most other press-on nail extensions made of plastic. Regular press-ons can be rigid and heavy, but soft gel tips are made from a flexible gel, making them more lightweight and durable, and less prone to breakage/chipping. While plastic cannot hold its shape when bent or rolled, soft gel is hard to damage and is able to hold its original shape. Soft gel extensions offer you the wear and flexibility of hard gel nails and the ease of application/removal of fake nails, giving them the perfect combination of characteristics! Their increase in popularity over the years is also due to their thin appearance compared to acrylic nails, and their natural look and feel, making them more comfortable to wear. Soft gel tips are designed to protect and enhance your natural nails, and will not cause any damage as long as they are removed correctly. They are also more gentle on your nails and healthier than acrylics, as they don’t use any harsh chemicals or emit strong fumes. Soft gel nails are quick and easy for anyone to apply and remove, can last 3-4 weeks, and can be reused multiple times with proper care.
How do I make my press-on nails last longer?
- Make sure your nails are the correct size! You want them to sit comfortably on your nails. Don’t be afraid to lightly file/shape the sides of the nails for an exact fit.
- Avoid exposure to water and oils / moisturisers etc an hour before and after application.
- Getting a full 360° seal with no air bubbles is key to having your nails last. When applying glue, avoid the cuticle area and sidewalls to avoid seepage onto your cuticles, and don’t over do it. Wipe it off quickly if any gets on your skin. Rotate pressure when you are applying the nails - this is really important so you don’t get any air bubbles.
- The level of prep you do will directly correlate to how long your press-ons last - proper prep will ensure nails last between 2-3+ weeks. If you want the nails to last around a week, skip the buffing and nail wipe pad and use very little glue in the centre of your nail.
- After buffing your natural nails for preparation, use primer and dehydrator if you have them.
- Always wear gloves whilst doing household chores etc or when handling cleaning products/chemicals.
Can I get a refund or exchange if I am unhappy with my order?
All products are handmade to your specific size, shape, length, design etc. Therefore, items cannot be refunded or exchanged. Please contact us if you are unhappy with your order.
Can I just order a set of custom nails off the website?
No! Please message me first so we can confirm your shapes, lengths, designs etc. I will then assist you on how to checkout on the website.
However, other items such as sureprise sets, cuticle oils, sizing kits etc can be purchased straight from my website.
How long do the nails last? Are they reusable?
With proper application and care, your nails can last anywhere from 10-21 days! They are 100% reusable with proper removal, and customers are able to rewear their sets 3-5 times on average if using glue, and even more times if using sticky tabs!
Do you sell any pre-made / ready to ship nails?
