How long do the nail wraps last?
With proper application, our nail wraps typically stay on for up to 10-14 days. This varies depending on the lifestyle, nail structure and natural nail oiliness of the wearer.
Tip: By sealing the nail wraps with our Gel Top Coat, many have gotten up to 4 weeks of wear!
Do I need to apply a base/top coat with the nail wraps?
Base coats are not necessary but will help to lengthen the life of your nail wraps. If you have nails that are waxy or have an uneven surface, we highly recommend applying a layer as it will smooth out the nail surface for seamless application.
Top coats are highly recommended for longer lasting results, especially on the nail tips as they tend to wear out the easiest.
Some top coats are not compatible and may cause the nail wraps to shrink, so do test out your top coat first on a spare strip before applying to the rest of the nails. We recommend our Gel Top Coat for a professional glossy finish and a safe peel-off removal.
How do I remove the nail wraps?
Removing our nail wraps are simple, quick, and damage-free! Use a cuticle oil around the edges and gently lift the nail wraps with your wooden cuticle stick to remove.
We also have various other methods to remove them depending on what's most convenient for you – check them out here.
Can I get my nail wraps wet?
Yes, our nail wraps are waterproof! But try not to get your nails wet too soon after application - we recommend applying them after showering or right before sleeping to give your nail wraps sufficient time to adhere fully to your nails.
Wait 3 to 4 days after applying your nail wraps before participating in any water activities.
Will the nail wraps damage my nails? Are they toxic-free?
Compared to traditional manicure methods, our nail wraps are far less damaging with their safe application and removal process. They are also non-toxic and 10-free.
10-free means that our nail wraps do not contain Phthalate, DBP, Toluene, Xylene, Ethyl Tosylamide, Camphor, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Parabens, and Fragrances.

How do I apply the press ons?
1. PREP YOUR NAILS! *don't skip!* Wash your hands with soap and water, so that it is free of any oils and dust. 1. Push back your cuticles with a cuticle stick, 2. clip your natural nails short and 3. buff your nail surface for a better grip. Wipe thoroughly with alcohol pad.
2. FIND YOUR SIZE! Pick the press-on nails that best fit your natural nails by placing it above your nail bed to check.
3. APPLY THE ADHESIVE! Use Nail Glue for extended wear up to 2 weeks or Adhesive Tabs for shorter wear up to 5 days.
Method #1. Apply with Nail Glue: Apply a thin, even layer of glue to the inner side of the press-on nail and your natural nail. Make sure not to apply too much as it might overflow. Be careful not to touch the glue with your fingertips, as it bonds quickly!
Method #2. Apply with Adhesive Tabs: Select the correct size of nail tabs for each nail. Peel them from the sheet and apply them to your natural nails. Apply them firmly to remove air bubbles then peel off the plastic film.
4. APPLY THE PRESS-ONS!
Apply nails at a 45 degree angle and place the press on nail under your cuticle for a seamless, natural look. Press down firmly for 20-30 seconds to secure the bond.
REMOVING THE PRESS-ONS
To avoid damaging your nails, never force or pull off. Soak your nails warm, soapy water, and oil, for 5-10 minutes to loosen the adhesive. When adhesive feels loose, gently slide a cuticle stick under and along the sides of the press-on nail under it pops off.
Clean the press-on nails and store for reuse!
Will it fit all my nails?
Each of our press-on kit comes with 30 press-on nails in 15 inclusive sizes! They are also shapeable to customise to your nails for a perfect fit.
The width of our nails range from 6.5 mm to 13.9 mm, so it fits nails that are both narrow and broad.
Do I need to cut my nails short?
No, you don't necessarily need to cut your nails short when using press-on nails. However, shorter nails can provide a better base for the press-ons to adhere to and will help the press-ons stay on longer.
Are the press-ons customisable?
Yes! Our press-ons are fully customisable! You can reshape them by clipping with regular nail clippers, filing, painting and even applying nail art stickers!
Are the press-on nails reusable?
Yes our press-ons are 100% reusable! Remember to clean and store them well after every use.
Do they damage your nails?
Press-on nails are not damaging to your nails as long as you care for them following our proper removal steps. Think of our press-ons as the gentle and non-damaging alternative to salon acrylics!
