FAQs

How does Pressy work?

Pressy nails are made with pre-cured salon-quality gel and feature a built-in adhesive. Simply size your nails, peel off the adhesive backing and press onto your natural nail. No glue. No UV lamp. No drying time. Two minutes on. Done. Pressy works best when all tutorial instructions are followed. Please watch our tutorial video before applying.

How long do Pressy nails last?

With proper application, Pressy nails can last up to 14 days. Please note: wear time differs from person to person due to nail quality, unique PH levels and natural oil levels on the nails and cuticles. For best wear: Start with clean, oil-free nails. Wait an hour after application before filing the nails. Avoid applying hand cream or oils for an hour after application. Please look at our Tutorials page for more info. 

Why does Pressy last longer on some people than others?

Everyone’s natural nails are different, which means wear time can vary from person to person. Some nails naturally hold adhesive more easily, while others may be oilier, smoother, more ridged or more exposed to creams and oils during the day.

For some customers, this means Pressy may lift sooner. For others, the bond may be stronger, which can make removal feel a little more stubborn.

The best way to get the most consistent results is to follow the prep, application and removal steps carefully. Clean, dry nails are key before application and gentle removal is important. Never force or pull the nails off.

Can I apply Pressy to weak, damaged or brittle nails?

No, the Pressy adhesive will not adhere to weak, split, brittle or damaged nails. Your natural nails must be in a healthy condition before applying Pressy.

How do I choose the right size?

If you are between sizes, choose the slightly smaller nail for a more natural fit. Each pack includes multiple sizes to ensure a tailored look.

Can I file or reshape them?

Yes. If you would like to cut or file the nails, please wait an hour after application. It's always a good idea to press down on the nails again after you've cut or filed them!

Please wait another hour after cutting and filing before coming into contact with water, oils and creams.

Are Pressy nails waterproof?

Yes. Once applied correctly and after-care steps are followed, Pressy nails are water-resistant and suitable for normal daily activities like washing hands and showering.

Do I need nail glue?

No. Pressy has a built-in adhesive layer. There is no glue required. This makes application cleaner, easier and less damaging than traditional press-ons.

Will Pressy damage my natural nails?

No. Pressy does not require glue, harsh soaking, or UV exposure. They are gentle on natural nails.

How do I remove Pressy nails?

Removal takes approximately two minutes. Gently lift from the side and peel off slowly. Please look at our Tutorials page for more info. 

I'm finding it difficult to remove the Pressy nails. What should I do?

If the Pressy's are a little stubborn to remove, and our 'twist technique' is proving difficult - simply apply cuticle oil to assist you with lifting the Pressy. Never force the Pressy off as this will result in nail damage.

Can I reuse Pressy nails?

Pressy nails are designed for single use to ensure hygiene and optimal adhesion performance.
