The longevity of your press-on nails depends on your application method and skills:

• Sticky Tabs: 3 days to 2 weeks
• Nail Glue: Approx. 2 weeks
• Combination of Sticky Tabs & Nail Glue: 2 to 3 weeks

Please note:These estimates can vary based on individual lifestyle factors and whether the correct application technique was used. For the best results, follow our application instructions carefully @fairynail_uk or @fairycam_uk.

Fairy nails are 100% reusable! They are specially crafted with reusability in mind, which is a key feature of our handmade press-on nails.

To ensure your nails remain reusable, follow our removal video carefully @fairynail_uk.

Removal tips:
• If you use adhesive tabs, they won’t leave any residue and are the easiest for reuse.
• If you use glue or a combination method, you’ll need to remove any remaining glue after wear.

How to clean your nails:
• Use the nail buffer provided in your toolkit to gently buff away the glue.
• Alternatively, use an electric nail file to carefully remove any glue from the inner side of the press-on nails.

We recommend our Kraft Paper Sticky Tabs or Red Sticky Tabs for easier application and best results.

1. Prep
• Push back your cuticles using the crystal stick.
• Buff your natural nails to remove any shine or oil.
• Wipe your nails with the provided alcohol wipe.

2. Apply
• Select the correct size sticky tabs and place them on your nails, leaving 1–2mm from the cuticle.
• Press the sticky tabs firmly to ensure they reach every corner of your nail bed.

3. Press
• Align the press-on nail 1mm away from the cuticle.
• Push the sticky tab towards the cuticle as you press the nail down.
• Press firmly for at least 30 seconds.

*Important: Avoid contact with water for at least 3–4 hours after application.

1. Soak
• Soak your nails in a bowl of hot water, soap, and oil for 10–15 minutes.

2. Remove
• Gently insert the cuticle stick to lift off the press-on nail.
• Roll off any excess sticky tabs or residue from your natural nail.

3. Store
• Place your Fairy nails back in their case to keep them clean and ready for reuse.

*Tip: Be gentle during removal to avoid damaging the nails or your natural nail bed.
