Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Each of our sets are handmade by our CEO, Kadian who is a licensed nail technician.

We use the highest quality of nail tips in the market that are made of 100% gel (not plastic). Each set is crafted with gel polish and each set with crystal embellishment is created with 100% Swarovski crystals. Our sets are created with 100% vegan and cruelty-free products.

Yes! We offer a wide range of shapes (square, stiletto/almond, coffin, round) and lengths (short, medium, long, XL-Long & XXL). Please keep in mind that due to the intricacy of the designs in some of our "Luxe Effect" sets require more space and may not be available in our shorter lengths.

Yes! Our nails are crafted to be used up to 4-5 times with proper aftercare and removal. To remove any build up of glue, we recommend using your nail file or a electric nail file.

Press-ons can be a healthy alternative to acrylic nails if you've frequented nail salons that do not prioritize the health of your natural nail. Often times inexperienced nail techs can drill too hard onto the nail when prepping, thus leaving damage during application that can worsen after removal. Since our nail files are of a softer grit (80/100) they're strong enough to prep your nail without leaving damage.

Did you know that 70% of nail beds are flat while 30% of people have curved, rounded nail beds? This is one of the main reasons why we feature both natural and sculpted nail sets.

Sculpted nail sets have a high apex (nail arch) and are perfect for people who have curved nail beds. Natural nail tips have a less pronounced curve that is set to fit most nail types. If you do not have naturally curved/raised nail beds, sculpted nails are not the best option.

Application Made Easy:

1. Before application, wash hands and avoid using lotion or any oils
2. Push back cuticles with wooden wedge stick
3. Use a nail file to lightly roughen the entire nail bed and remove the shine from natural nail
4. Wipe nails with alcohol and/or dehydrator
5. Apply nail glue to the natural nail and onto the press on nail**
6. Apply press-on nail to the natural nail and hold for 10-20 seconds firmly
7. Admire your nails like the baddie you are and go out there and be great!

* If possible, avoid water and heavy oils around the nails for at least one hour.

*If you're looking for a shorter wear (1-2 days), use sticky nail tabs instead of nail glue.

Press-on nails last! It all boils down to how properly you prep your nails prior to application and how you handle your nails throughout each wear. One key application tool to help make nails last long is our dehydrator. It's a product that is used in the nail salon to removes oils present on your natural to help you achieve the best adhesion. 

Check out our video on application here.

To safely remove, apply a generous amount of cuticle oil to nails (around cuticle and underneath press on nail) and soak nails in warm soapy water for 10-20 minutes. Carefully remove and place in your nail box for future use.

Nails can also be removed by soak in acetone but nails will can not be used after.
