Frequently Asked Questions

Which shape is best for a night out?

Squoval and almond are the most popular for party wear because they balance a glamorous look with enough comfort to last through dancing, eating, and photos.

Will glitter nails shed sparkle during the night?

Lirenail's glitter finishes are sealed in gel, so they don't shed like loose glitter polish. See our glitter guide for care tips.

How far in advance should I apply party nails?

Apply the day before or the morning of your event to allow full adhesive cure time, which reduces the risk of lifting during a long night out.
