Dew Splash
- Handmade in your size and shape
- 10 nails plus 5 spares
- Reusable with the adhesive tabs included
Dew Splash press-on nails come in a lilac blue with a fine glitter, like dew drops in the morning sun. The glitter is embedded in the gel, so you can't feel it and the surface stays lovely and smooth. Sparkly without turning childish, and surprisingly easy to combine with anything.
What's in the box
Everything you need to get started is in the box:
- 15 handmade soft gel nails: 10 for your hands and 5 spares, in your size
- 150 adhesive tabs, good for several rounds
- Nail file, cuticle pusher and 5 cleaning pads
Our premium sets are built layer by layer by hand from soft gel in our studio, just like a BIAB treatment.
Choosing your shape and size
You choose the shape yourself: Round, Oval Short, Square Short and Oval Long, from the shortest to the longest. Then you choose a size: XS, S, M or L. False nails stand or fall with the right size, so measure first. Lay a ruler across the widest part of your nail and use that measurement. If you're between two sizes, choose M. Not sure of your size yet? Start with the Beginnerset Reflected: it contains sizes S, M and L, so you can find out at home, at your own pace, which one fits you.
Applying and wearing
It takes you about ten minutes, no more: clean your nails, choose your size, add an adhesive tab and press each nail down firmly for 10 seconds. No lamp, no drying time. For the first 2 to 4 hours, avoid keeping your hands in water for long; that gives the adhesive tabs the best chance to bond. Expect 1 to 2 weeks of wear with the adhesive tabs included, about 10 days on average. Because this is real soft gel and not thin false nails, you can file them, paint over them and simply use the set again after removing it, 3 to 5 times on average with fresh adhesive tabs. To be honest, if you do a lot of washing up or cleaning you will get slightly fewer days out of them.
Size not quite right? You can exchange an unused set for the right size within 14 days through our returns portal. If it's your first order, your first size exchange is free with our Fit Guarantee. We always send your new size free of charge. The colour can look slightly different from the photo depending on the light; that comes with handmade work.
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.
