PRESS ON NAIL INFORMATION

HOW TO MEASURE:

  • Use a soft measuring tape to measure horizontally across the widest part of your nail bed in millimetres.

  • Using the sticky tape, stick a piece of it onto your nail and press into the creases (the ends of your nail on the left and right side).

  • Make a mark on the widest part of your nail bed using a pen.

  • Remove the tape from your nail and place on a flat surface so you can measure the distance (using a ruler) between the two marked points in millimetres.

  

What do I do now with these measurements?

Convert your measurements into the according nail size in the sizing chart below! If you are stuck between two sizes, we recommend to go for the size above as they can be filed down if needed<3 

Repeat this for both hands to improve the accuracy of your sizes as they may be different for some fingers on one hand compared to the other hand! 

 

CUSTOM SIZING:

If your sizes do not match the preset sizes, you have custom sizes! For this you will need a custom set. When ordering, click the "CUSTOM SIZE" option and enter your nail sizes in the notes section at checkout.

When you enter your sizes, enter them in the following order from thumb, index, middle, ring and pinky:

L: 1,4,7,8,9 R: 1,4,8,8,9

 HOW LONG DO PRESS ON NAILS LAST?

With the right preparation, they can last up to 3 weeks. However it is completely normal for a couple of nails to pop off here and there so we recommend keeping a glue with you at all times to simply reapply. 

HOW DO I APPLY PRESS ON NAILS?

In terms of application: 

  • Using the cuticle pusher, push back your cuticles. 
  • Start off buffing your nails to the point where all the shine from your nail beds is gone completely.
  • Oily nail beds are natural and completely common which can cause the nails to pop off. Therefore to fix this, use an alcohol wipe to wipe off the oils from your nail beds.
  • Spread a sufficient amount of glue on your nail beds and hold down each nail onto the glue for 15 to 20 seconds each. 

 
HOW DO I REMOVE PRESS ON NAILS?

In terms of removing:

  • Pour some olive oil and any washing liquid into a bowl.
  • Fill half the bowl with warm/ hot water. 
  • Soak your hands into the bowl and use your cuticle pusher to gently loosen your cuticles so that the nails start to come off. Some nails may take longer than others to fall off!
  • After this, there may be some excess glue remaining on your nails. Simply use a file to remove this excess glue.
