Application & Sizing

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

  1. Use a soft measuring tape or a ruler — Measure the widest part of each nail bed (from side wall to side wall) in millimetres.
  2. Measure all ten nails — Each finger may be a different size, so measure them individually for the most accurate fit.
  3. Record your sizes — Note down the measurement for each finger so you can match them to the sizing chart below.
  4. 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:

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.
