How to Wear & Care for Press-On Nails

Your complete guide to using, maintaining, and loving handmade press-on nails from Seven Treasures.

💅 Press-On Nails vs. Traditional Nail Art

Press-on nails are pre-designed and handcrafted, made to be applied and removed multiple times.
Unlike salon nail art—which is painted directly on your natural nails—press-ons are reusable and non-damaging.

🎯 Who Are Press-On Nails For?

Press-ons are perfect for:

  • Professionals with nail restrictions: nurses, chefs, bakers, massage therapists

  • Special occasions: weddings, photoshoots, maternity periods

  • Anyone who wants flexible, reusable nail art without long-term commitment

🩺 Are Press-On Nails Harmful?

No! When applied with gel tabs or glue, press-ons cause minimal to no damage.

Compared to traditional nail art that requires filing, buffing, gel polish, and UV exposure, press-on nails protect the natural nail surface and do not thin or discolor it.

⏳ How Long Do They Last?

With proper care, press-on nails are reusable for:

  • 3 to 6 months, or even longer

  • Usage longevity depends on glue type and how often you wear them

✅ Pros & Cons of Press-On Nails

✅ Pros:

  • Easy to apply and remove

  • Budget-friendly and reusable

  • No UV light or salon visits required

  • Gentle on your natural nails

  • Instantly switch styles anytime you want

⚠️ Cons:

  • Requires accurate self-application

  • Improper gluing may trap moisture

  • Not suitable for continuous long wear

❗How to Remove Press-On Nails Safely

Never peel or rip off your nails.
Instead, gently soak or lift using a proper removal method with oil or warm water, depending on the adhesive. This avoids nail damage.

✨ Tips for Best Results

  • Do not file or cut handmade press-ons – it may damage the topcoat or art design

  • After each use, clean with alcohol to maintain hygiene and gloss

  • Store them dry, away from dust and heat

📏 How to Measure Your Nails

Method 1 – Using a Soft Tape Measure:

  1. Clean nails (no oil or glue)

  2. Measure the widest part of the nail (usually mid-point)

  3. Align the tape tightly across the nail curve

Method 2 – Paper & Ruler:

  1. Press paper across your nail and mark the edges

  2. Use a ruler to measure the width

  3. You may also use a mobile ruler app

🔍 Pro tip: If you wear press-ons often, consider creating a custom size template and save it for future orders.
