Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Pressdon nails.
Applying Your Nails
How do I apply press-on nails? +
Prep your nails (clean, dry, no oils), select your sizes, apply the adhesive tab, align the press-on from the cuticle, and press firmly for 10–15 seconds. Check out our How It Works page for the full step-by-step guide.
How long do they last? +
Up to 2 weeks with proper prep and care. The biggest factors are clean, oil-free nails before applying and avoiding prolonged water exposure in the first hour.
What if none of the sizes fit? +
Every set comes with 24 nails in multiple sizes. If a size is slightly too wide, you can file the edges gently with a nail file to customise the fit. When between sizes, always size down.
Can I shower or swim with them? +
Showering is fine after the first hour. Long periods of water exposure (swimming, long baths) can shorten wear time, always dry your nails thoroughly afterwards.
Wear & Care
Will press-ons damage my natural nails? +
No. When applied and removed correctly, press-ons cause no damage. Never force or peel them off. Always use the soak-off method for safe removal.
Can I reuse my Pressdon nails? +
Yes! Remove them gently, clean off any remaining adhesive with a buffer or acetone, and store them safely. With fresh adhesive tabs they can be reused 2–3 times.
How do I remove them? +
Soak in warm soapy water for 5–10 minutes, then gently wiggle from the cuticle edge until the nail releases. Never pull or force. Full removal guide on our How It Works page.
My nail popped off early. What went wrong? +
The most common causes are oily nails at application, water exposure too soon after applying, or an adhesive tab touching the skin/cuticle. Make sure nails are completely clean and dry before applying.
