What's in the box
- 15 handmade soft gel nails: 10 for your hands and 5 spares, in your size
- 150 adhesive tabs for reuse

Our press-on nails are made by hand, set by set, never mass produced.
Your shape, your size
Choose from four shapes, from short to long: Round, Oval Short, Square Short and Oval Long. And from four sizes: XS, S, M and L. That is exactly the difference from false nails in a standard box, because you decide what goes in your set. Measure the widest part of your nail before you order and, if in doubt, take the larger size; the sides file down neatly in a few strokes.
Applying and wearing
Clean your nails with an alcohol wipe, pick the right size, stick on an adhesive tab and press each nail down firmly for 10 seconds. You are done within ten minutes and there is no drying time. For the first 2 to 4 hours afterwards, avoid keeping your hands in water for long; that gives the tabs time to bond properly. With the adhesive tabs included, they stay on for 1 to 2 weeks, about 10 days on average, depending on your work and how often your hands are in water. Soft gel is flexible, so you can file them a little or paint over them, something thin false nails rarely handle well. Soak them off gently and you can wear the same set three to five times.
Not sure of your size yet? Measure first. If it still doesn't fit, you can exchange an unused set for the right size within 14 days through our returns portal. You pay the return postage and we send the new size free of charge.
Attach the press-onHold it at a 45-degree angle and line it up with the adhesive tab. Press it onto the tab, slide it towards your cuticle and then press it down.
Press firmlyFrom the centre towards the edges, so air bubbles disappear and the bond is strong.
Avoid water for 2 to 4 hoursThis gives the adhesive time to bond properly and keeps your nails on longest. Washing your hands is fine, just put off that long bath for a while.
