Frequently Asked Questions: Nails
-
The sizing kits for each individual nail shape include 1 nail tip of every size offered in that shape. Many of the nail shapes include half sizes for your best fit. If you are in between sizes, choose the size up.
-
Once you receive your sizing kit, you are able to measure your bare nails from side wall to side wall. It should cover your nail bed from side to side without hanging over onto your skin.
If you are between sizes, it's better to size up and hand file the completed nail to your unique nail shape.
-
Yes! Periodically, I will post a mood board in the shop under our "Dealer's Choice" options, if it speaks to you and you are comfortable leaving me total creative control of the nail sets, excluding the length/shape, this is the choice for you! A sizing kit will be included in the price, if needed.
-
Please refer to individual product descriptions for specific inclusions.
-
Yes! If you lost a nail for a specific set, choose the nail replacement inquiry form. Please provide details on which nail is missing.
-
Standard glue tabs and nail glue work with the press-ons. I advise against applying excessive pressure when adhering the nail, as that can cause discomfort or damage to your natural nail bed.
-
The nails are made with gel products and are dissolvable with 100% acetone, like most standard nail enhancements. Cut down the length, buff the shiny top coat until it's dull, and soak with acetone. Use a wood stick or cuticle pusher to gently scrape the product off. Repeat steps until complete. 3D art is made with hard gel and not dissolvable with acetone.
If you want to save and reuse the nails, the best way to remove the nails is with a nail glue remover. I find the one by the brand Makartt to be very effective. Please follow their product instructions for removal.
Note: When you apply the nails directly to your bare nail bed with standard nail glue, it creates a semi permanent bond, meant to last up to two weeks+. I strongly advise against trying to remove this kind of application prior to 10 days. Never force the nail enhancements off your nail beds, this can lead to damage to your natural nails and your press-ons.
-
That depends primarily on your unique lifestyle. The nails are hand designed with high quality gel tips for durability. With proper maintenance and care, your nails can last for multiple wears.
Please keep in mind these are nail art enhancements - they are not indestructible tools. Treat them well.
