WEAR TIME & REUSING

Are pressies reusable? How long do they last?

Yes! Pressies are perfect for both short and long term wear! You can get multiple wears out of them if they are taken care of and in good condition after removing them. Make sure to buff off dried glue inside and around the pressies to ensure a good hold for reusing. 
Like going to a nail tech/salon in person, each set is made with Apres' durable gel-x tips and multiple layers of gel polish. This will ensure that your pressies will not break even if you bang them the wrong way! The added bonus is you can remove and re-apply them whenever you'd like! 

What is the average wear time?

Wear time will depend on your prep and application process. If you quickly put them on, the wear time will be much shorter than if you were to take your time by prepping your natural nails beforehand. We suggest following the instructions provided with your order to get the longest wear time. 
     ☆ Hours: Nail tabs
     ☆ <7 days: Thin strip of glue + no prep
     ☆ 7-14 days: Prep method provided in instructions
Wear time will also depend on how rough you are during daily activities as well as how long you are in wet environments such as swimming, sitting in a bath/hot tub, washing dishes, etc. When your hands are in water for long periods of time, it will wear down the glue hold. 
☆ Pro tip: wear gloves when washing dishes and always carry your nail glue with you incase one pops off  ☆

APPLICATION & REMOVAL

How do I apply my pressies?

Start off my pushing back your cuticles with the cuticle pusher provided. If you have a cuticle remover, apply this to your cuticles or remove them with a cuticle cutter. Once you have completed that step, lightly buff your natural nail with the mini nail file provided or a nail buffer. Remove the dust and excess oil from your natural nail with the alcohol cleansing wipe provided (or wash your hands). Evenly coat your natural nail with nail glue. Be careful not to add too much or it will seep out the sides. Place the pressie as close to the cuticle bed as possible and press down firmly, holding for at least 10 seconds. This will ensure they stay on longer.

How do I remove my pressies?

PLEASE DO NOT RIP THEM OFF! This may ruin your pressie and definitely weaken your natural nail.
The removal process is very easy. Fill up a bowl big enough to place your finger tips in with warm soapy water. If you have cuticle oil, you may also put this around your nails. Soak your finger tips in the water for 15-20 minutes. The longer the wear time, the less time you will need to soak your finger tips as the nail glue is naturally worn down. After soaking, use your cuticle pusher to pry and wiggle off the pressies. If they do not come off easily, re-soak your finger tips until they pop off easily. Once your pressies are removed, you can lightly buff off any nail glue that may still be on your natural nails. Apply cuticle oil if you have. Store your pressies in the package they came in and keep them in a safe place for reusing!

NAIL SIZES

You can find your nail sizes by measuring your nails or by purchasing a sizing kit.
     ☆ Measuring: follow the instructions below. When measuring, ensure your nails are in their natural state (no polish, press ons, gel extentions or acrylics) to get the most accurate measure.
     ☆ Sizing Kit: the easiest and most accurate way to find your nail sizes! 
☆ If you are in-between sizes, we recommend you size up! ☆
