Frequently Asked Questions
Are press-on toenails applied the same way as press-on fingernails?
Yes — the prep, sizing, and adhesive application process is the same. Clean and lightly buff the toenail, size each piece, then apply with nail glue or adhesive tabs.
How long do press-on toenails last on toes?
Most sets last 1-2 weeks of normal wear. Because toes experience more friction inside shoes, closed-toe footwear can shorten wear time slightly compared to fingernails.
Can I wear press-on toenails with sandals in humid weather?
Yes, as long as they're applied correctly and kept dry during the curing period. Avoid submerging feet in water for at least an hour after application.
What's the best toenail shade for a natural, everyday pedicure?
Pearl Blush, Coastal Pearl, and Rose Whisper are the most versatile neutral-leaning shades for an everyday, salon-fresh pedicure look.
