Actual wear depending on application type
| Method | Average wear | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Adhesive tabs (included) | 3–5 days | Occasional use, evening, event |
| Liquid glue (included) | 7–14 days | Long-term wear, holidays, daily life |
| Glue + tabs (sandwich method) | 10–14 days | Maximum hold, important occasions |
5 steps to make your press-on nails last
- Prepare your natural nails — push back cuticles, buff the surface, degrease with alcohol. 80% of the wear depends on this step.
- Choose the right size — a nail that's too small or too large will lift within 24 hours. → Size guide
- Avoid water for the first 2 hours — let the glue cure completely. Ideally: apply your nails in the evening.
- Wear gloves for washing dishes — hot water and detergents are the glue's #1 enemies.
- Don't use your nails as tools — no opening cans, no scratching. You have nails, not screwdrivers.
What our customers say
The majority of our customers report wear of 7 to 14 days with the included glue. Customers who use the sandwich method (glue + tab) regularly achieve 14 days, even with moderate manual activities.
