Your simple guide to press-on nails.
From choosing a shape and size to application and care, this guide helps you feel more confident before choosing your next set.
What are press-on nails?
Press-on nails are ready-made nail tips designed to be applied over the natural nails. They come in different shapes, lengths, finishes and designs, making it easy to change your look without committing to one style.
Choose the right shape and length
Start with the look and everyday comfort you want. Almond and oval shapes give a softer appearance, while square styles have a cleaner, more structured finish. Shorter lengths can be practical for everyday routines.
Find the right size
Check the product's sizing information before ordering. Compare the width of each press-on with your natural nail and choose the closest comfortable fit rather than forcing a tip that is too narrow.
Prepare before applying
Clean and dry the natural nails, gently prepare the surface as directed by the product instructions, and arrange the set in order before you begin. Good preparation helps the application look neater.
Care for your set
Be gentle with your nails during everyday activities. Avoid using the tips as tools, and follow the product's care instructions so the manicure stays looking tidy.
Remove them gently
Follow the removal instructions supplied with the set. Don't force or pull a press-on off if it is still firmly attached. Taking your time is kinder to the natural nail.
