Press on nails are created using professional, salon quality products. Starting with a pre-shaped soft gel, full cover tip, the tip is hand painted by me using multiple layers of gel polish and various nail art materials. These are the same products that are used by nail techs in salon for the service commonly known as soft gel extensions. The difference being that the tip is painted first by me, shipped to and then applied by the client (you). Press on nails can last anywhere from 1 day to 3 weeks depending on the prep and application method.

The main brands I choose to work with are Apres Gel-X, The Gel Bottle, Luxa and Magpie Beauty.

Browse the Capsule, Corporate and Designer collections and choose the design you would like to order. Select your desired shape and length, enter your nail measurements in the space provided. All sets are made to order and will be completed and shipped within 5-10 working days.

Sizing kits are highly recommended before ordering a custom sized set. You will receive one nail of each size in your chosen length and shape. The tips you receive are the exact tips I will use to create your set. This ensures the most accurate fit which will give you the best chance of long term wear and more natural looking nails.

I do my absolute best to recreate your set to look like the photo on the website but due to the handcrafted nature of our press ons, small variances may occur. The reason for this can be your screen resolution, the lighting of the photo, a different batch of gel polish colour. Choosing a different length and shape to the set pictured may require the design to be tweaked slightly to fit the tip shape and length. I do my best to keep as close to the original design as possible.

For short term wear you can apply the nails with sticky tabs which will last 1-3 days.

For long term wear you can apply the nails with a professional nail glue. These can last up to 2-3 weeks.

If you have used sticky tabs, you can gently pry off the adhesive tab by sliding a cuticle pusher underneath the press on nail starting at the side of the nail. Soaking your hands in warm, soapy water with oil can make this easier.

If you have used professional nail glue, you will need to wait until the nails have started lifting on their own, if your nails haven't started lifting, they are not ready to be removed, and doing so may result in damage to the natural nail. If they are ready to be removed, they can be removed using the warm water, oil and soap soaking method.

This can be variable and is dependable on the lifestyle factors of the person wearing the nails. The nails are created using professional, salon quality materials which allows for the nails to be reused. A person who only applies their nails for short periods at a time may get more wears out of their nails than a the person who uses nail glues and wears their sets for 2-3 weeks at a time. Remembering your nails are jewels, not tools, will help with ensuring they will last for many uses.
