Follow these simple steps to get your beautiful salon look in less than 10 minutes.
Application
- Clean and dry your nails thoroughly.
- Push back cuticles gently using the cuticle pusher.
- Lightly buff the nail surface.
- Trim and file your natural nail to your desired shape.
- Apply adhesive to your natural nail.
- Press and hold the press-on nail firmly for 20 seconds.
- If you're using glue, apply a small amount to your natural nail and press-on.
- Press and hold down the press-on for 20 seconds minimum.
Removal
- Soak in warm, soapy water — Soak your nails for 10-15 minutes to soften the adhesive. Add a few drops of cuticle oil for extra softening.
- Gently lift from the edges — Use the cuticle pusher to lift each press-on.
- Don't pull or rip — Forcing removal can damage your natural nail bed.
- Hydrate after removal — Apply cuticle oil and hand cream to restore moisture and nourish your natural nails.
Size Guide
Finding the right size is essential for a seamless, natural looking manicure. Follow our simple guide to measure your nails and find your perfect fit.
How to Measure Your Nails
- Use a soft measuring tape or a ruler — Measure the widest part of each nail bed (from side wall to side wall) in millimetres.
- Measure all ten nails — Each finger may be a different size, so measure them individually for the most accurate fit.
- Record your sizes — Note down the measurement for each finger so you can match them to the sizing chart below.
- When in doubt, size up — A slightly larger nail can be filed down to fit perfectly, while a nail that's too small won't cover the entire nail bed.
Standard Size Chart
Our press-on nails come in 24-piece sets with 12 different sizes per hand. Use the chart below as a general guide:
| Size Number | Nail Width (mm) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 16.5 – 17.5 | Large thumbs |
| 1 | 15.5 – 16.5 | Thumbs / large fingers |
| 2 | 14.5 – 15.5 | Thumbs / index fingers |
| 3 | 13.5 – 14.5 | Index / middle fingers |
| 4 | 12.5 – 13.5 | Middle / ring fingers |
| 5 | 11.5 – 12.5 | Ring / pinky fingers |
| 6 | 10.5 – 11.5 | Smaller fingers |
| 7 | 9.5 – 10.5 | Pinky fingers |
| 8 | 8.5 – 9.5 | Small pinky fingers |
| 9 | 7.5 – 8.5 | Extra small nails |
| 10 | 6.5 – 7.5 | Extra small nails |
| 11 | 5.5 – 6.5 | Smallest nails |
Tips for the Perfect Fit
- Test before gluing — Place each press-on against your natural nail to check the fit before applying adhesive.
- File the sides if needed — If a nail is slightly too wide, gently file the edges for a custom fit.
- Match the curve — Choose nails with a curve that matches your natural nail bed for the most comfortable wear.
- Check both hands — Your dominant hand may have slightly larger nails, so measure each hand separately.
