Yes — and in many ways better. Our press-ons are made from salon-grade ABS material and finished with a professional gel top coat, giving you the same high-gloss, durable result as acrylics or gel extensions. No UV lamp. No 90-minute appointment. No $80+ price tag. Most customers tell us they get compliments thinking they're real salon nails.

With our adhesive tabs: 5–7 days of comfortable, secure wear — perfect for trips, events, or week-long looks. With nail glue (included in all kits): up to 2–3 weeks. The single biggest factor is prep — clean, dry, oil-free nails before application will dramatically extend your wear time. It's the step most people skip.

Press-ons are one of the least damaging nail options available. Unlike acrylics or hard gels, there's no filing, drilling, or harsh chemicals involved. Remove them gently — soak in warm water for 10–15 minutes instead of prying — and your natural nails will be completely untouched. Many customers actually use press-ons to grow and protect their natural nails while looking great.

Every set comes with 24 nails across 12 sizes, so you'll always find your perfect fit. Measure the widest point of each nail bed with a flexible tape or strip of paper, then match to our sizing guide. When you're between sizes, go smaller — snug fits look more natural and hold longer. First-timers are always surprised by how well they fit.

Prep is everything. 1) Wash hands and push back cuticles. 2) Lightly buff the surface of each nail. 3) Wipe every nail with the included alcohol wipe — this removes oil and is the single most important step. 4) Apply glue or adhesive tab, press firmly for 30–60 seconds. 5) Stay dry for at least 1 hour after. Following these steps will give you the maximum wear time every single time.

Never force or pry. Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes and the bond releases naturally. A few drops of cuticle oil around the edges speeds this up. If you used nail glue, a brief soak in acetone dissolves it cleanly. Your nails will feel exactly the same as before — totally intact.

Yes — if applied with tabs. Sets applied with adhesive tabs can typically be reused 2–3 times. After removal, clean any residue from inside the nail, let them dry completely, and store in the original box. Use fresh tabs for each wear. Sets applied with glue are single-use, but the nails themselves stay in great condition.
