About
What are press-on nails?
Press-on nails are reusable, pre-designed or custom-made nails that are applied at home using nail glue or adhesive tabs. All sets are handmade to order and designed to look and feel like a professional salon manicure.
Are your press-on nails handmade?

What comes in a fixing kit?
The fixing kit includes a nail file, buffing block, alcohol wipes, cuticle pusher. Then your choice of either nail glue or sticky tabs, and or cuticle oil.
What’s the difference between minimalist and maximalist nail designs?
Minimalist designs are clean, subtle, and understated. They usually feature neutral or soft colour palettes, simple line work, small details, or lots of negative space. Think delicate accents, fine lines, tiny florals, or a single focal detail per nail.
Maximalist designs are bold, detailed, and statement-making. They often include bright colours, layered patterns, 3D elements, gems, chrome, mixed textures, and multiple design elements across each nail. These sets are expressive, eye-catching, and designed to stand out.
Midimalist designs sit in between — combining clean structure with a few bold or playful details. They balance simplicity with personality without going fully minimal or fully bold.

How do I choose my nail size?
You can find your size using the sizing charts and measurement guides on the Nail Guide page. Accurate sizing is important for the best fit and wear.
What if I don’t fit into a standard size?
Do not worry - I don’t either!
At checkout, you’ll have the option to select “Custom Size.” Once selected, a box will appear where you can enter your nail measurements.
Please be as accurate as possible when measuring. It’s recommended to add 1–2 mm to each nail size, as excess can always be gently buffed away, but material can’t be added once the nails are made.
Thank you for taking the time to measure carefully, it helps ensure the best possible fit for your set!
