About Press On Nails
What are press-on nails and how do they work?
Press-on nails are artificial nails made from high-quality materials like acrylic resin, gel, or ABS plastic. They come pre-designed and painted, offering a salon-quality look you can apply at home. Simply choose your perfect size, apply a small amount of glue (or adhesive tabs for temporary wear), and press them onto your natural nails.
How long do press-on nails last?
With proper application and care, your press-on nails can last up to 2 weeks. The longevity depends on your daily activities and how well they're maintained.
Can I reuse press-on nails?
Absolutely! As long as you remove them carefully and store them properly in their original packaging, you can reuse your press-on sets for multiple applications.
Will press-on nails damage my natural nails?
Not if applied and removed correctly. Following my application and removal guides ensures a safe and gentle process for your natural nails.
Can I wear press-on nails if I bite my nails?
Absolutely! Press-on nails can act as a deterrent to nail biting. The act of having beautiful nails you don't want to ruin can help break the habit over time.

What's the difference between ready-to-ship and made-to-order nails?
Ready-to-ship nails are pre-made sets that are ready to be dispatched at the next dispatch day. Made-to-order sets are crafted specifically after you place an order, allowing for more intricate designs but with a slightly longer wait time.

We ship orders every Tuesday and Friday. Depending on your chosen shipping option (standard or express), your nails will arrive in 1-3 business days after shipment. See our detailed shipping policy for more information.

What happens if my press-on nails are damaged during shipping?
In the rare case your press-on nails arrive damaged, please contact me immediately with photos of the damage via Instagram DM. I'll happily send you a replacement set, but refunds are not offered for damaged products during shipping.
Can I return or exchange my press-on nails?
Due to hygiene reasons, I don't accept returns or exchanges. Please note I also do not offer refunds on press-on nails.
Do you offer international shipping?
I currently ship within South Africa. If you're located internationally, please contact me via Instagram DM to inquire about shipping rates, as they vary by country.
Application & Care Tips
What type of glue do you recommend?
Everyone's nails are unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. I include a nail glue in our prep kits, but if you have a preferred glue brand that works best for your nails, feel free to use that.
How do I care for my press-on nails?
For long-lasting wear, ensure proper nail prep before application. Avoid water contact for at least 3 hours after applying, and skip harsh chemicals like chlorine that can damage the nails.
Can I customize a press-on nail design?
Yes, for pre-designed sets on our website, if you'd like to customize them slightly, contact us through Instagram or TikTok before placing your order.
