Frequently Asked Questions

Should birthday nails match my outfit or theme?

It's a nice touch but not required — many people choose a design that simply feels celebratory, regardless of outfit color.

How far ahead should I apply birthday press-ons?

Applying 1–2 days before your birthday gives the adhesive time to set fully while keeping the design looking fresh.

Can I add a charm to any of these designs?

Yes — any of these confetti or shimmer designs work well with an added statement charm on one or two accent nails.
