How Long Do Press-On Nails Last?

Nail Concrete soft gel press-on nails last up to 3 weeks when applied with the Precision Bond brush-on glue included in every set. With the pre-adhesive sticky tabs (also included), they're designed for around 24 hours of wear, which is perfect for a single event.

What affects how long press-ons last

1. Prep. Clean, dry, oil-free nails make the biggest difference. Push back cuticles, lightly buff away the shine and use the alcohol prep wipe.
2. Sizing. Pick the size that covers your nail from side to side without touching the skin. With 16 sizes per set, most nail beds get a proper fit.
3. Glue. Brush a thin layer of Precision Bond on both your nail and the press-on, apply at a 45° angle from the cuticle, and hold for 30 seconds.
4. Everyday care. Use your finger pads rather than your nails to open cans and packets.

Do they last in Australian summer?

Yes. Nail Concrete press-ons are designed for Australian conditions, including heat, ocean swims, salt water, sand and sunscreen. You can swim as usual and they won’t pop off.

How to remove and reuse them

Soak your nails in warm water with olive oil, then gently lift each nail with the cuticle stick. There's no drilling or filing. Clean off any leftover glue and you can wear the same set again, usually two to three times. Zero damage.
