Before you order
Frequently asked questions
How long do they last?
With correct prep and care, Nail Concrete press-ons are designed for 2+ weeks of wear. Wear time varies by prep, fit and day-to-day use, and some customers report longer wear.
I have wide nail beds — will these fit?
Yes. Every Nail Concrete set includes 32 nails in 16 sizes, with 2 nails in each size. Choose the size that sits edge-to-edge across your natural nail without overlapping the skin. If you're between sizes, size down.
I have narrow nail beds — will these fit?
Yes. Every Nail Concrete set includes 32 nails in 16 sizes, with 2 nails in each size. Choose the size that sits edge-to-edge across your natural nail without overlapping the skin. If you're between sizes, size down.
What nail shapes do you offer?
Nail Concrete is available in four shapes: Round, Oval, Almond and Square. Shape availability varies by design, so use Shop by Shape or the collection filters to find your preferred style.
Will they damage my natural nails?
They are designed for gentle wear and removal. Soak in warm water and olive oil for 10 minutes and gently ease the nails away rather than forcing or peeling them off.
Do I need a UV lamp?
No. The gel-effect finish is built into the nail, so there is no UV curing step.
Can I reuse them?
Yes. Remove them gently, clean away leftover adhesive and store them safely between wears. Nail Concrete sets are designed to be reused 2–3 times with proper care.
Are they waterproof?
They are water-resistant for normal daily wear. Prolonged soaking can reduce wear time, so avoid long periods in water where possible.
How do I remove them?
Soak your nails in warm water and olive oil for 10 minutes, then gently ease the press-ons away. They should release without forcing; never peel them off.
What if I am between sizes?
Choose the closest fit and gently file the sides for a more precise match. A nail should sit edge to edge without pressing into the skin.
Can I apply them to short nails?
Yes. The press-on creates the length and shape for you. You only need enough clean natural nail surface for the adhesive to bond to.
How do I choose my size?
Every Nail Concrete set includes 32 nails in 16 sizes, with 2 nails in each size. Match each press-on edge-to-edge to your natural nail without overlapping the skin. If you're between sizes, size down. Sizing guide.

Application
Salon nails in 5 simple steps
No tools, no lamp, no salon appointment. Just press and go.
Step 1
Prep your nails
Clean, dry nails only. Lightly buff the surface and push back cuticles. Wipe with the included prep pad to remove oils.
Step 2
Choose your sizes
Match each nail tip to your natural nail. The set includes multiple sizes — go snug rather than wide for best hold.
Step 3
Apply adhesive tabs or glue
Peel and place one adhesive tab (included) onto your natural nail, or apply a thin bead of nail glue.
Step 4
Press and hold
Align the nail tip with your cuticle, press down firmly from base to tip and hold for 20–30 seconds.
Step 5
File and finish
Shape edges with a nail file if needed. That's it — your gel-effect manicure is ready.

The result is a slimmer, more natural-looking press-on without the rigid, bulky feel of traditional plastic nails.
01
Strength without stiffness
Premium soft gel combines the strength of acrylic with subtle, comfortable flexibility.
02
A tailored fit
Gently moulds to the natural curves of your nail bed for a seamless finish.
03
A slimmer silhouette
Avoids the bulky look of rigid press-ons for a more elongated, elegant result.
