The Nails
What are luxury press-on nails?
Luxury press-on nails are handcrafted, salon-quality nail sets you apply at home in minutes. Every Lacquer Luxury set is hand-painted and hand-finished with premium gel, not mass-produced, so each design carries the detail of a one-of-a-kind piece. They're the elegant salon alternative for women who value time and style.
Are your press-on nails really handmade?
Yes. Every set is 100% hand-painted. Designs with dimensional details, like our 3D roses, are hand-sculpted. Sets are made to order with a 48-hour turnaround, which is why no two sets are exactly alike.
What comes in a set?
Each set includes 10 hand-painted nails (a full set), professional nail glue, a mini nail file, an alcohol prep pad, and a cuticle stick. Everything you need for a complete application.
How do I find my size?
Lay out all 10 nails and match each one to your natural nail bed. A perfect fit covers your nail from sidewall to sidewall without overlapping your cuticle. Our sets include a full range of nail sizes, and the mini file included in every kit lets you fine-tune any edge.
Will press-on nails damage my natural nails?
No. Our press-on nails are non-damaging to natural nails when applied and removed as directed. Unlike acrylics, there's no drilling, filing down of your nail plate, or harsh soaking. Removal only needs warm, soapy water.
Application & Removal
How do I apply press-on nails?
Four steps. Prep: clean your nails with the included alcohol wipe. Size: select the correct size for each nail. Glue: apply a thin, even layer of nail glue. Press: hold firmly for 30 seconds. For the full salon technique, read our journal guide, How To Apply Press-On Nails Like a Pro.
How long do press-on nails last?
With proper application, Lacquer Luxury press-on nails last 2+ weeks of everyday wear. For maximum longevity, apply a thin clear top coat after application to seal the edges, avoid soaking your hands in water for the first hour, and apply cuticle oil daily.
How do I remove press-on nails?
Never force or pull them off. Soak your fingertips in warm, soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes and the nails will lift gently from the edges. If you feel any resistance, soak for another 5 minutes. No acetone or drilling needed.
Are press-on nails reusable?
Yes. Every Lacquer Luxury set is reusable up to 3 times with proper care. After removal, gently scrape any remaining glue from the underside, wipe with alcohol to sanitize, and store the nails in their original case away from direct sunlight.
Press-on nails vs acrylic or gel. What's the difference?
Acrylics and gels require a salon appointment, take an hour or more, and removal can thin and damage your nail plate. Luxury press-ons give you the same salon-quality finish in minutes, at home, with zero damage, and unlike a salon set, you can remove them for a meeting and re-wear them for the weekend.
