Press-on nails, without the glue.

One thin sticker between your nail and the press-on.

Pressed on, the tab disappears — and holds.

Who it is for

How to use it

The short version. First set? Watch the full tutorial first — it covers the details these three frames can't.

1

Pick the size

Match the tab to your nail, not to the press-on.

2

Peel & place

Lift it by the edge and lay it on a clean nail.

3

Press 30 seconds

Firm, even pressure. Don't rush this one.

Sizing your press-ons is a separate question — the size guide covers that.

Glue or tab?

A solid pressure-sensitive film — the adhesive family used in medical dressings. Nothing cures on your hand, which is why it is the one people reach for during pregnancy. Tabs are single use — the nails are what you reuse.

Will it work on your nails?

A tab can only grip where your own nail is. Same press-on, three natural nail lengths — and how much of it your own nail can actually hold.

The rule: the closer your natural nail is to the length of the press-on, the longer it stays on. A short nail leaves the tip unsupported, and every knock lands on that gap.

Short✕ Hover to zoom

Very short or bitten

Even a short oval covers under half the nail. A longer shape only makes the gap worse.

Not enough grip

Medium✓ Hover to zoom

Short oval, short almond

About ¾ covered. Almond covers roughly half — still more grip than a very short nail.

Up to 2 weeks

Long✓ Hover to zoom

Short oval fits exactly

Stiletto and the longer shapes work here too — the nail carries them.

Up to 2 weeks

Two weeks is a real number from our in-store customers — on a healthy nail, following the tutorial.

A few tips that help

The three people miss most — not the whole list. If this is your first set, read the full guide instead of these.

Dry 3–4 hours

Apply before bed

You sleep through the whole window, and wake up with them set.

Hold the edge

Never touch the sticky side

The oil on your fingertip kills the tack on contact.

Clean, dry, no oil

Wash first, cream after

Adhesive sticks to a nail. It does not stick to oil.

The rest is in the full application guide — a beginner walkthrough in English, and one in French.
