Press On Nails - Everything You Need To Know
Are you like me — too busy to sit in a nail salon or tired of trying (and failing) to master DIY manis from Instagram and YouTube?
Let’s be honest: painting your own nails takes time, patience, and skill — and even then, the results rarely last. That’s where Dooby’s Nails comes in.
Before choosing press-ons, it’s smart to read reviews and make sure you’re investing in a brand you can trust. With over 15 years of experience and 119,000+ happy customers, we know a thing or two about nails that look natural, feel comfortable, and last beautifully.
Each set is hand-finished, made from soft gel for a true salon-like look and feel — no cheap plastics or printed patterns here.
Curious to try the difference? Let’s show you why Dooby’s Nails are a game-changer.
What Are Press-On Nails?
Press-on nails are beautifully crafted artificial nails designed to be worn over your natural nails — no mess, no stress. But forget everything you thought you knew about press-ons. Ours are softer, more natural-looking, and incredibly easy to apply.
Available in a range of lengths, shapes, and on-trend designs, our ready-to-wear gel nails give you a flawless manicure in minutes — all from the comfort of your home.
Whether you're going for classic French, bold red, or a subtle ombré, press-ons let you explore your nail personality without commitment.
Are Press-On Nails Safe?
Absolutely. We totally get it — when you first hear about press-ons, you wonder: are they safe for your nails?
The answer is yes. In fact, press-ons are one of the safest nail extension options available.
Unlike acrylics or salon gel nails, which often require harsh filing and soaking in acetone, press-ons don’t involve aggressive removal or long-term damage to your natural nails. They’re kinder, cleaner, and much more convenient.
Press-On Nails vs. Gel Nails — Which Is Better?
We’re not here to hate on salon gels — but for many of us, press-ons are simply the better choice. Here’s why:
1. Gentler on Natural Nails
Our press-ons are a much healthier alternative to acrylics or builder gels. There's no need for heavy filing or chemical soaking, and with proper removal, they won’t cause damage to your nail bed.
2. Convenient & Affordable
With Dooby’s Nails, you can go from bare to glam in just 10 minutes.
Our sets range from £15 to £18.99, and we frequently offer bundle deals to save even more. That’s a fraction of what you’d pay at the salon, and you still get a flawless, long-lasting result.
Plus, with over 100 styles available, you can change your nails as often as your outfit.
3. Reusable with Care
Apply using adhesive tabs for shorter wear — and reuse your set again and again. With proper care and removal, you’ll get multiple wears out of each set, making them even better value.
How Long Do They Last?
It depends on how you apply them and your lifestyle — but typically:
-
Adhesive tabs: up to 3–5 days (great for events)
-
Nail glue: up to 10–14 days (perfect for daily wear)
-
Glue + tabs combined: up to 2+ weeks (ideal for holidays or busy weeks)
Each set comes with free glue, adhesive tabs, a prep kit, and full instructions — so you get the best possible wear time, no guesswork needed.
Final Word: With Dooby’s Nails, you don’t just get a manicure — you get a luxury beauty experience that fits your life. Salon-quality nails. No damage. No fuss. Just press, perfect, and go.
