Why Australians 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.
- Made to be worn again. Every box includes 150 adhesive tabs, a nail file, a cuticle pusher and 5 alcohol wipes, so one set sees you through plenty of weekends, weddings and summer holidays.
- Delivered to your door in Australia. Your order arrives in about 7 business days, with no import charges to pay on delivery, and we email you as soon as it is on its way.
Find your size first
Because each set comes in one size, two minutes with a ruler saves you an exchange, and when your parcel travels all the way to Australia that matters. Measure the widest part of each nail in millimetres and check it against the chart in our press-on nail size guide. Between two sizes? Take the larger one: the sides file down easily in a few strokes. Would you rather try than measure? Our Beginnerset Reflected has 30 nails in sizes S, M and L in one box.

Questions Australian customers ask us
How long does delivery to Australia take? About 7 business days. Your set is packed and sent from the Netherlands, and we email you once it has left. There are no import charges to pay when it arrives.
Will press-on nails last in the heat? Yes, with good prep. Heat on its own isn't the problem; oil and water are. Clean each nail with an alcohol wipe, apply your nails before sunscreen or hand cream, and press each one firmly for about 30 seconds. A set then stays on for 1 to 2 weeks, about 10 days on average. Long swims and afternoons in the surf can loosen the tabs sooner, which is why every box has 150 of them. More tips in how long do press-on nails last in summer.
Are press-on nails the same as false nails or fake 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 to work? That depends on where you work. Many hospitals follow bare below the elbows rules that rule out artificial nails for staff caring for patients, and kitchens and dental practices often ask for the same. Press-on nails are made for exactly that situation: on in ten minutes for the weekend, off again before your next shift, without damaging your own nails. Work in healthcare? Read what the hand hygiene rules say in bare below the elbows: what Australian nurses need to know. In a dental practice or a kitchen? See press-on nails for dental and food workers.
What if I ordered the wrong size? No worries. Open our returns centre, enter your order number and the email address you ordered with, and choose the size you need. An unused set can be swapped within 14 days of receiving it; the return postage is A$7.95 and we send the new size at no extra cost.
