GENERAL
What are press-on nails (press-ons)?
Press-on nails are ready-made, artificial nails that you can stick on your natural nails.
Are press-ons safe for my natural nails?
Yes, press-ons are mostly safe for your natural nails. However, in the rarest event that you develop and allergic reaction immediately after putting on your press-ons, please remove them immediately and seek a doctor’s consultation to remedy it.
Which nail size? How do I take measurements? Do you have a size chart for reference?

Can I put press-ons on my natural nails that are already coated with nail polish?
We do not advise that, as the adhesives (sticky-tabs) will interfere with the polish on your natural nails. In addition, an additional layer of polish in between your press-ons and natural nails may encourage trapped moisture and air, which in turn encourages bacterial growth and fungal infections.
How long should I put them on for? How often should I change the sticker?
Our adhesives last for an approximate 1-3 days. We advise that you change out your sticky tabs after a maximum of 3 days to let your natural nails take a breather and to prevent bacterial growth and fungal infections.
Are they waterproof?
Yes, the majority of our press-ons are waterproof (unless we explicit indicate no). However, we really advise that you keep your artisan or press-ons that are laden with heavy embellishment to a minimum for fear it might deteriororate the condition of the crystals etc.
Will it drop if it comes into contact with water?
With the adhesive provided by us, they should last at least a day, even common daily activities like taking a shower, washing the dishes, taking a swim. However, do note that due to its’ properties, it is totally common for the sticky-tabs to weaken with more
exposure to water.
Yes! Our adhesives allow for you to pursue and carry
out your daily tasks without interrupting your as little as possible. However,
like most adhesives, they will loosen with frequent contact with water, hence
shortening their wear on lifespan.
