Frequently Asked Questions

Press-on nails are a quick and easy way to achieve a salon-quality manicure at home without the commitment or damage of traditional acrylics.

Each ManiChula set includes 10-24 press-on nails in various sizes, adhesive tabs, nail glue, a prep pad, a mini file, and a cuticle stick.

Measure your nails. Using clear tape, Place a piece of transparent tape flat across the widest part of your natural nail. Press the tape down firmly into your skin's sidewalls. Use a pen to draw a line on each side where your nail meets the skin. Measure in millimeters: Peel the tape off, stick it flat onto a ruler, and measure the distance between the two marks in millimeters (mm). Measure all ten fingers. Both hands can have different sizes, so measure every single finger from thumb to pinky.

Our sizing refers to the overall nail bed width. Small is for narrower nail beds (12-16mm), Medium for average nail beds (13-17mm), Large for wider nail beds (14-18mm).

If you're between sizes, we recommend going slightly larger and filing down to your perfect fit for the most natural look. There are also "mixed" sets that include all sizing options.

Start with clean, dry nails. Gently push back your cuticles, lightly buff the natural nail, and remove any oils. Apply your nail adhesive then press the nail firmly onto your natural nail for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Wear time depends on your nail preparation, adhesive, lifestyle, and how you care for your nails. Proper preparation and application can help maximize wear time.
