Good questions
FAQ
How long do press-on nails last?
Up to two weeks with glue, or one to three days with adhesive tabs. Clean, dry, oil-free nails make the biggest difference.
Can I really reuse a set?
Yes, that's the point. Soak them off gently, clean away the old adhesive and store them in the box. Well cared-for sets survive many wears.
How do I know my size?
Measure the widest point of each nail in millimetres and match it to our size chart. If you're between sizes, size up and file to fit.
How long does delivery take?
Handmade sets are dispatched within 5 business days of payment. Courier then takes 1-3 business days (R99). Orders over R599 ship free, and Johannesburg collection is always free.
How much do press-on nails cost?
Sets are R300 each, with automatic savings when you buy two or three, applied in your bag. A salon gel or acrylic set typically runs R350-R600 every few weeks.
How can I pay?
Card, Instant EFT, SnapScan and Zapper, all processed securely by Payfast. We never see or store your card details.
Are press-on nails bad for your natural nails?
No. Nothing is drilled or filed into your natural nail, so they're far gentler than acrylics or hard gel. Damage comes from removal, not wear: soak for 10-15 minutes and lift gently rather than prying.
Can I shower, swim or wash dishes with press-on nails?
Yes, once the glue has set (avoid water for the first hour). Heat and detergent are what loosen adhesive, so wear gloves for dishes to get the full two weeks.
Should I choose press-ons, acrylics or gel?
Press-ons win on speed, cost and zero nail damage. Choose acrylics or hard gel if you want a month of wear and don't mind salon time and the regrowth cycle. Many people wear press-ons between appointments.
Do you do custom sets?
Yes. Send us your design idea and sizing through the custom request form and we'll come back to you with a quote.
What is your returns policy?
Opened, tried-on or worn sets can't be returned for hygiene reasons, and that includes sizing mistakes. Unopened sealed sets can be returned within 7 days. Anything damaged or defective, contact us and we'll replace or refund it.
A nail broke or popped off. Can you help?
Small lifts fix with a drop of glue on a clean, dry nail. If one breaks in the first week of normal wear, send us a photo and we'll help.
