New to press-ons and not sure how this works?
Don’t worry, we’ve got you.
How are your press-ons different from store-bought ones?
+
Most store-bought press-ons are made out of plastic and mass-manufactured or unethically created, which is part of what allows those companies to keep costs low.
Ours are made out of the same durable soft gel material as salon gel-extensions, which allows them to withstand real lifestyles and the ability to be reusable – making them actually more cost-efficient ๐
Plus, they’re hand-painted with love and care in the US ๐ค
I’ve heard press-ons damage your natural nails, so I’m hesitant. Is that true?
+
Definitely not!
Even nail enhancements from a salon will technically require some roughing up of your natural nail, but what really damages them is any type of removal that causes excess trauma – this means ripping off your nails! Ripping off press-ons, gel polish, gel-x, etc, rips away layers of your natural nail and that is what causes damage.
As long as you remove them patiently and carefully, which Press-Off Serum can help with, you should see a path back to healthy and strong natural nails.
Press-ons don’t look natural, how are these any different?

It’s all about the fit ๐ค๐ป
This is why we require sizing kits for all new clients. By finding the perfect size for each finger and hand, and sending me your client photos (top-down view of each finger), this allows me to size your orders to fit you 99% (subtracting the 1% for any extremely minimal filing you may have to do because virtual isn’t the same as in-person!).
That helps them not only look as natural as salon enhancements, but it also ensures longevity of wear and allows you to reuse them with confidence as they take less trauma than if they were a bad fit!
I need them right away and can’t be bothered to wait for a sizing kit!
+
I totally get the impatience! But the sizing kit is worth it, I promise.
If you are in a hurry, you’ve got options! We offer a rush order fee of $20 and you can simply check this box at checkout. In addition to that, if you order a sizing kit with a set (pre-designed or custom), it’s not only free but I can ship it out right away and start working on your design sketch while we wait for the sizing kit to get to you.
If you can’t wait for a custom set, we offer Curated Collections and Always Available designs, so I’m confident there’s something for you!
You keep saying I can reuse them, but actually how many times will they last?
+
Your mileage may vary depending on what you do with your hands and how you remove them.
I’ve personally seen ~5x reuse, but some of my fellow press-on wearers have seen up to 8x! The most important things to consider when wearing and caring for your nail investments are:
- Wear gloves when doing dishes or submerging your nails in water
- Nails are jewels, not tools! Don’t use them to pick at stickers, open soda cans, etc. They’ll withstand the work, especially if you use the Alda SOFbondโข glue, but your press-ons still take on that trauma
- Store them appropriately when not in use, like with the provided display/storage box!
All right, i’m sold. These sound great, but i have no idea what i’m doing ๐ตโ๐ซ
