Looking for press-on nails to buy that are beautifully finished and that you can put on yourself in ten minutes? At L'Adele we make every set by hand in soft gel. You choose your shape and your size, and you get 10 nails plus 5 spares, with adhesive tabs, a nail file, a cuticle pusher and alcohol wipes. Press-on nails last one to two weeks and are reusable.
What makes handmade different?
In mass production the polish is sprayed on in a single layer. You can tell: flat colour, hard edges, a plastic look. Our sets are built up and finished nail by nail. On a cat eye design, that means the magnet is drawn by hand across the wet polish so the streak of light falls exactly right. No two sets are exactly the same, and that's the point.
Reusable, not disposable
A set isn't for one evening. Remove it properly with warm water and store it in its box, and you'll wear the same set again and again. All you need is fresh adhesive tabs; every set includes 150, enough for many wears.
Four shapes, every size
Every design comes in Round, Square Short, Oval Short and Oval Long. Round and Square Short are the most practical for everyday wear; the oval shapes make your fingers look longer. Not sure which shape suits your hands? Take the shape quiz. On size, the Beginnerset Reflected always has you covered, as it contains every size from S to L.
Applying and removing
Applying takes ten minutes: clean, push back the cuticles, choose the size, stick on the adhesive tab and press each nail down firmly for 10 seconds. For the first two to four hours, avoid long contact with water. Removing them is just as easy: soak for a few minutes in warm water and the nails come away almost by themselves. No filing, no acetone, no thin or damaged nails afterwards. In our blog you'll find the complete application and removal guide.
