FAQ and Sizing

1. Sizing- Not all nails are the same size. To find your size you can relax because we take the guess work out by sending you 20-28 pieces. All sets except "Solid Color Sets"  and "Ready to Ship Sets" get a complimentary set in the same length and shape for a total of 40-56 nails.

  • We are doing away with sized 10 pieces sets and doing all 20-28 pieces sets. The 10 pieces are heavily discounted. 
  • Should you need an extra nail of a certain size we can make it for you for $5 per nail. Each set of nails you order comes with a serial number so we can look it up and see what products we used to make an exact replica. 

2. What is included with the nails? 

     Each nail set comes with a "prep pack" which includes: file, buffer, orange wood stick/ cuticle pusher, alcohol wipe, nail glue, and nail sticky tabs. 

3. How many times can I reuse my nails?

    You can get about 3+ wears out of your nails depending on how gentle or rough you are with your hands. 

4. How do I reuse my nails if I used glue?

    To reuse your nails after using glue take the file or buffer whichever is easier for you and gently buff or file away the glue on the under side of the nails. 

    If you use press on nails frequently I would suggest in purchasing a cheap e file. Amazon has a great selection. Using an e file is the easiest way to remove the glue. 

5. How do I apply the nails?

    A sheet of directions is sent in each package, but should you lose it, here are the steps.

     A. Push back cuticles with orange wood stick and gently scrape any protein growth particles off the nails. 

     B. Use the file and file the edge of your nail until it is shorter than the press-on nail that goes on it.

     C. Using the buffer, etch the top of your nails gently to rough up the surface slightly. This makes for better adhesion. 

     D. Take the alcohol pad and wipe each nail well to make sure all dust is off from filing and to remove any oils on the nailbed. 

     E. To apply with glue: Do one nail at a time. Apply a small amount of glue inside the press on nail to where it would cover your nailbed from side to side and cuticle to tip. Too much glue can make it hard to adhere. Take the press-on nail and press it onto your nail from cuticle to edge and hold for 20 seconds or until it feels firm. Repeat for all ten nails. 

    F. To apply with sticky tabs: Do one nail at a time. Find which tab fits your finger best and apply it to your nail and remove the film after securing it to the nail. Take the press on nail and place it from cuticle to edge. 

6. How do I remove my nails?

  •     If you used adhesive nail tabs follow these steps.
    • Soak your hands in warm soapy water for 5-10 minutes.
    • Gently take the cuticle pusher and lift up until they peel off. 
    • Remove any adhesive left on the nails with alcohol or acetone.
    • Oil your cuticles and nails after this unless you're going to apply a new set of press-on nails.
  • If you used nail glue follow either of these ways. One way allows you to reuse them and the other will dissolve them. 
    • To reuse: purchase nail glue debonder and follow the directions on the bottle. There are many options on Amazon.
    • To dissolve: soak in acetone for 5-10 minutes at a time until you can scrape them off with the cuticle pusher. Acetone warmed by being placed in a hot water bath removes nails quicker than cold acetone. 

7. How do I keep my nails on?

    I recommend keeping your hands out of water as much as possible. Use gloves when doing dishes or laundry. Do not use your nails to press buttons but instead use your knuckles. Do not use your nails to open items like soda cans, boxes, envelopes, etc. Do not pick at your nails. Do not push on the free edge of the nail or it could cause lifting. 

8. I scratched my nail, so what to I do? 

    You can apply a fresh layer of top coat to give them their shine back and fill in any scratches that may have happened during wear. 

9. What if I lose a nail?

    I can remake single nails at a $5 charge per nail. 

10. What is a complimentary set?

   A complimentary set is a set of nails that will go with your designed set that is normal polish or glitter polish, no design. The color will be picked by me but I promise it will be beautiful and go with the set so that you can swap out nails as you please. 

11. What types of press on nails do you use? 

     I use Apres nails.  I find them to be of high quality and less likely to break. 

12. How long will the nails last per wear?

    If good prep is done, and protective measures are taken, a set of glued nails will last 5-14 days. A set of nails applied with sticky tabs can last 1-7 days. It really depends on how rough you are on your hands.
