Looking for press-on nails in the UK that actually fit? At L'Adele every set is made by hand, in the size and shape you choose. No box of thirty nails where only a handful sit right: you get 10 nails for your fingers plus 5 spares, all in your size. Soft gel, salon finish, and on in about ten minutes.
Why UK customers choose L'Adele
- Handmade soft gel nails. Every set is made one at a time in our studio, never mass produced. That is why they look like a fresh salon manicure rather than plastic from a blister pack.
- Your size, your shape. Choose XS, S, M or L and one of four shapes: Round, Oval Short, Square Short or Oval Long. Every set holds 10 nails plus 5 spares in that size.
- On in ten minutes, off without damage. Our adhesive tabs hold for 1 to 2 weeks, about 10 days on average, and come off gently with warm soapy water. No lamp, no drill, no acetone.
- Wear them again and again. Every box includes 150 adhesive tabs, a nail file, a cuticle pusher and 5 alcohol wipes, so one set is good for many wears.
- Quick delivery across the UK. Your order arrives in 1 to 3 working days, with a tracking link by email, and there are no customs or VAT to pay on delivery.
Find your size first
Because each set comes in one size, two minutes with a ruler saves you an exchange. Measure the widest part of each nail in millimetres and compare it with the chart in our UK size guide. Between two sizes? Take the larger one: the sides file down easily in a few strokes. Still unsure? Our Beginnerset Reflected has 30 nails in sizes S, M and L in one box, so you can find your fit by trying.

Questions UK customers ask us
How long does delivery to the UK take? 1 to 3 working days. You get a tracking link by email once your order has been sent.
How much does delivery to the UK cost? £3.95, and delivery is free on orders over £45.
Do I pay customs or VAT on delivery? No. Import costs are taken care of before your order leaves us, so there is nothing to pay when it arrives.
How long do press-on nails last? With clean, dry nails, a firm press of 15 to 30 seconds per nail and no long soak in water for the first 2 to 4 hours, a set stays on for 1 to 2 weeks, about 10 days on average. Read more in how long do press-on nails last, and see every step in how to apply press-on nails so they don't fall off.
Are press-on nails the same as false nails or glue on nails? They are all names for nails you apply yourself at home. Ours are handmade in soft gel and go on with adhesive tabs rather than liquid glue, so they come off gently and you can wear them again.
Can I wear them for work? That depends on where you work. In the NHS and other clinical settings, bare below the elbows guidance rules out false nails and nail varnish during patient care, and press-on nails count as false nails. They are made for evenings, weekends and occasions instead: on in ten minutes, off again before your next shift. We explain the guidance for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in can nurses wear press-on nails?
What if I ordered the wrong size? No problem. Start an exchange in our returns portal with your order number and the email address you ordered with, then choose the size you need. You can exchange an unused set for the right size within 14 days; you pay the return postage and we send the new size free of charge.
