Durability & Care

🛡️ Press-on nails are everyday items – just like shoes, they wear out over time. However, with proper care, you can significantly extend their lifespan and wear them again and again. ✨

1. Sealing = extra protection

Your nails already come sealed from the factory with a high-quality topcoat. This means the design is significantly more durable than many other press-ons and won't rub off as quickly.

Nevertheless, more protection is always possible.

Our tip:
Apply an additional layer of clear polish – especially for effect designs (chrome, cat eye, glitter, etc.).

• You can apply the clear polish directly while wearing the nails
• Or you can use a nail holder/nail stand to comfortably polish and let them dry

Especially after wearing, a small "refresh" is worthwhile:
If fine scratches have appeared, simply apply clear polish over them – and your nails will look like new again. Perfect for reuse. ♻️

2. Jewels, not Tools 💅

Treat your nails like jewelry – not tools.

Classics that wear down your nails faster:

• Opening cans
• Scratching off labels
• "Tapping with the tips" on the keyboard

Better:

• Tap with your fingertips
• When opening, apply pressure with your fingers or tools
• Avoid prying motions (this also protects your natural nails)

3. The basis for durability: perfect fit

The most important factor for good hold is the correct size. Not "almost fitting," but truly perfect.

If something doesn't hold, first check:

• Nail preparation
• Size of the press-on
• Is the nail lying flat?

Important:

• No prolonged water contact approx. 2 hours before adhesion (showering, bathing, washing dishes)
• If a gap remains at the front, the C-curve (arch) is probably not right

Shapes by arch:
Almond > Oval > Squoval (flattest)

If the C-curve is not ideal:

• Gently flatten the press-on slightly
• Choose a larger size and adjust it sideways
• Alternatively, wear a flatter shape

👉 Note: Filing or shortening can damage the seal at the tip – avoid if possible or reseal afterwards.

4. Caution with alcohol & care products ⚠️

Alcohol is the greatest enemy of your press-ons.
It can attack or even dissolve the material.

Therefore:

• Use alcohol-free hand sanitizer whenever possible
• Check ingredients of hand creams & cosmetics

Important to know:
The top of your nails is sealed with gel – but the underside is not.
If alcohol-containing products get underneath, the material can be damaged.

👉 Real Talk: Even high-quality press-ons react to this. This has nothing to do with poor quality, but is due to the material.

5. Care after wearing = longer lifespan

If you want to reuse your nails:

1. Clean carefully after wearing
2. Refresh with clear polish if necessary
3. Let them dry thoroughly (preferably on a nail holder)
4. Store neatly in the box

This way, they'll be ready for their next use. ✨
