Care instructions
A little care goes a long way — here's how to get the most wear out of every set, and how to remove them without damaging your natural nails.
Wear time
Most sets last 7–10 days with proper application, depending on the finish and how hands are used day to day. Glossy and matte finishes tend to hold slightly longer than chrome.
Water & showering
Avoid water contact for the first hour after application to let the bond fully set. After that, showering and hand-washing are fine — just avoid prolonged soaking, which can loosen the adhesive over time.
Removing without damage
Soak nails in warm water with a splash of oil for 10–15 minutes to loosen the bond, then gently lift from the edges with a cuticle stick. Never force or peel a press-on that isn't ready to release — this can damage the natural nail underneath.
Reusing a set
Press-ons in good condition can typically be reused 3–5 times. After removal, clean off any residual adhesive, wipe with rubbing alcohol, and store flat in the original tray.
Storage
Keep unused and reusable nails away from direct heat and sunlight, which can warp the shape over time. The original tray is designed to keep sizes organized between wears.
