PRESS-ON NAILS
Q: How long do press-on nails last?
A: With proper self-prep and application, press-on nails typically last 1–2 weeks. With professional cuticle care and nail preparation, they can last up to 2–3 weeks. Results may vary depending on lifestyle, nail condition, and aftercare.
Q: Can I reuse my press-on nails?
A: Yes. Press-on nails applied with adhesive tabs can often be reused when removed properly. Nails applied with glue are generally intended for one-time use.
Q: Will press-on nails damage my natural nails?
A: No. When applied and removed correctly, press-on nails should not damage your natural nails.
Q: Can I shower or wash dishes?
A: Yes. However, avoid prolonged exposure to water during the first 24 hours after application. Wearing gloves while cleaning or washing dishes can help extend the life of your nails.
Q: What should I do if a nail falls off?

A:
- Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
