The nails can last anywhere from 2-3 weeks if properly applied with our glue.

For shorter wear (as in a day/night out we advise our gel tabs as they are easier to soak off after 24 hours) Glue can be worn for shorter wear nails may just need soaking longer to remove.

All orders come with a leaflet on how to best apply, remove and reuse your nails

We recommend you apply these nails with nail glue and adhesive tab together to last 2 weeks.

You also could apply with gel nail glue to last more than two weeks(only work on semi-transparent press on nails).

How to Remove Press-On Nails

➤ Method 1: Adhesive Tabs Only 🟣 (Easy & Quick)

Super gentle on your nails – no soaking needed!

💧 Step 1: Soak hands in warm, soapy water for 5–10 mins

🪻 Step 2: Gently lift around the edges of the nail

🪛 Step 3: Use a wooden stick or cuticle pusher to slide off

🧽 Step 4: Wipe natural nails clean and moisturize

💡 Tip: Don’t force it – soak longer if needed.

➤ Method 2: Nail Glue Removal 🔒 (Takes More Time)

Patience pays off – go slow to protect your natural nails.

💧 Step 1: Soak nails in warm water with soap & oil for 10–15 mins

🪛 Step 2: Gently wiggle the press-on from side to side

🧴 Step 3: If it doesn’t lift, re-soak and try again

🧽 Step 4: Buff off any glue residue carefully

🧴 Step 5: Apply cuticle oil to nourish nails

💡 Never rip them off – this can damage your real nails.

How to Apply Press-On Nails

➤ Method 1: Using Adhesive Tabs 🟣 (Temporary Wear)

Perfect for a night out or weekend wear – gentle on natural nails.

🧼 Step 1: Wash hands & gently push back cuticles

🧽 Step 2: Lightly buff nails & wipe with alcohol or prep wipe

📏 Step 3: Match and apply adhesive tabs to each nail

📄 Step 4: Peel off film

💅 Step 5: Press press-on nail onto natural nail

⏱ Step 6: Hold for 20–30 seconds

💡 Tip: Avoid water & lotion for 1 hour for best stick.

➤ Method 2: Using Nail Glue 🔒 (Longer Wear: 1–2 Weeks)

Best for stronger, longer-lasting results.

🧼 Step 1: Wash, prep & push back cuticles

🧽 Step 2: Buff & clean nails

🧴 Step 3: Apply glue to both your natural nail & the press-on

💅 Step 4: Press nail on starting from the cuticle

⏱ Step 5: Hold for 30–60 seconds

💡 Tip: Avoid water for 1 hour post-application.

➤ Method 3: Tabs + Glue Combo 💪 (Strong Hold, Easy Removal)

Best of both worlds – extra hold, still gentle on nails.

🧼 Step 1: Prep nails: wash, buff & dry

📏 Step 2: Apply adhesive tab to natural nail

💧 Step 3: Add one small drop of glue on top of the tab

💅 Step 4: Press press-on nail on firmly

⏱ Step 5: Hold for 30–60 seconds

💡 Tip: Ideal for longer wear without damaging your natural nails.

Yes – but wait at least 1 hour after applying to let the glue or tabs fully set.

For best hold, wear gloves when washing dishes or cleaning.

🧽 Clean the Back:

After removal, gently peel off any leftover adhesive tabs or glue from the back of the nails.

🧼 Disinfect & Store:

Wipe the nails with alcohol to sanitize, then store them in their original box or a clean container.

💅 Prep Before Reapplying:

Buff off any residue on your natural nails and reapply using tabs, glue, or both.

💡 Tip: Tabs make reuse easier, but glue can work too with proper care!
