Press-on nails are adhesive nails named after their application technique - press and stick. Thanks to two gluing options, it can be worn for a short time for a few hours or long-term for at least 14 days. In addition, the nails can then be put away and use repeatedly.
The press-on technique brings the comfort of a salon right at home. It saves time and also money. Compared to natural nails, they are compared to other extension techniques many times more gentle. Unique is the possibility of one-time use and subsequent easy removal. All within a few minutes from the comfort of your home or on the go.
All of our nails are from a gel tip that is hand painted and decorated. There are nails highly resistant to destruction, breakage or water, and if the nail accidentally comes off, it's very easy to stick it back on.
