Everything you need to know before you buy. Still stuck? Email hello@candynailcouture.com.
What are your nails made of?
Premium soft-gel — flexible, lightweight and comfortable, not the hard, brittle acrylic that cheaper press-ons use. They're designed to bend with your natural nail, which is why they feel better and stay put.
How long do they last?
With the glue method and good prep, up to around two weeks. With adhesive tabs, a few days — perfect when you want to change your look often. Prep is everything: see our How to Apply guide.
Will they damage my natural nails?
Not when applied and removed properly. That's the whole point of our damage-free promise — buff lightly (don't file down), and never force them off.
Glue or tabs — which should I use?
Glue for longest wear and big events; tabs for gentler, shorter, swap-whenever wear. Both are included in every box.
Are they reusable?
Yes — especially if you apply with tabs and remove carefully. Keep them in the tray and you can wear your favourites again.
How do I remove them?
Gap the edges, add a little oil, soak in warm soapy water for 10–15 minutes, then gently rock them off. Full steps are on the How to Apply page. Never pull them off dry.
Can I shower, swim and wash up in them?
Yes, once the bond has set (keep away from water for the first hour). For longest wear, wear gloves for washing up and pat your nails dry after swimming.
What sizes do they come in?
15 sizes (0–14), 30 nails per box, so you can fit both hands perfectly. See the Size Guide.
What's in the box?
30 nails in 15 sizes, long-wear nail glue, reusable adhesive tabs, a mini nail file, a cuticle stick and a prep wipe — everything you need for a salon finish at home.
