FAQs
What are custom luxury press-on nails?
Custom press-on nails are an easy, quick, efficient, and reliable way of getting your nails ready for your daily life or a special event.
Have a busy life and don’t have the time to schedule a nail appointment? You can get salon-quality nail mail directly to your doorsteps.
You can wear your custom press-ons to parties, weddings, nights out, dinners, work, and literally anywhere.
No more hiding those hands because you did not have time to get your nails done.
Why custom press-ons nails?
For starters, they are a time saver! I know many of us have busy schedules and don’t have the time to spare 2-3 hours for a nail appointment. You can apply salon quality in less than 15 minutes and go on with your day. This is a perfect solution for busy moms, working ladies, and those who want to get a creative beautiful manicure from the comfort of their home.
The second reason is that you will save money on custom press-ons nails. They are 100% reusable and you can mix and match sets to create new looks.
How do I order press-ons from your shop?
Once you have ordered a sizing kit, please measure your nails bed from both hands (note that nail size can vary from left to right hand – for example: left pink is size 6 and right pinky is size 7). Write down your nail sizes and now you are ready to place an order. As of right now, I take 10 custom orders starting on Mondays at 10 am Est to Fridays at 3 pm Est. Orders are on a first come first serve basis. Limited quantity may change from week to week – follow me on Instagram or Facebook to know how many orders I have available for a specific week. Solid color sets and sizing kits are always available Monday-Friday in unlimited quantities unless stated otherwise for the week.
You can place a FREE “Custom Design Request Consultation” order to determine which design level your vision would fall under or you can message me via Instagram.
When placing an order, please have ready the following: nail sizes, desired nail shape, length, and any useful information such as details about what you want or photo inspiration.
Remember! This is a totally customizable experience for you and you have control over the process. I’m here to do the painting and bring your vision to life!!!
How do I size my nails?
Let’s talk about sizing!! This is by far the most important step to do in your luxury custom nails. I cannot stress enough the importance of making sure you size your nails correctly. Wrong sizing can lead to unfit nails and even lifting – who wants that? No one!!
When you purchase a sizing kit you will receive one nail of all sizes in the desired shape. For example, you will receive 10 nails ranging from 0 to 9 in different shapes like almond/ coffin/ round/square/stiletto/ squoval.
You can measure your natural nails and do each nail individually (make sure you don’t have any product on – this will lead to an incorrect fit of your press-ons).
If this is your first time trying out press-ons and do not know where to start your sizing, please send me an email at info@polishedandready.com or message via Instagram @polished_and_ready – I will be more than happy to assist you with that!
What are the nails made of?
All our nails are made with 100% soft gel materials.
What products do you use to create your press-ons?
Quality is a huge deal for me! I want to provide you with highest quality products possible. When I create press-ons for my customer, I create them as if they were for me.
I use nail brands like Apres, Esvy, Painted Desert and Koko & Claire.
For colors and toppers, I use premium Japanese and Korean brands like Leafgel, Kokoist, Vetro, Fiote, DGel, Tiny, Mayour, First Street, Hoholeem, Mithmillo and others.
In additions to these, I use other premium brands such as Esvy, Koko & Claire, Madam Glam and others.
How long will the nails last?
With proper prep and application, your nails can last 14+ days with liquid glue. Many clients have worn their press-ons over 3 weeks.
If you want to wear them for short time, please use the sticky tabs included in your complimentary kit. They will allow for 1-3 days of wear time.
Every order will include detailed instructions on the application and removal process. The application and removal are so easy that you will be a PRO in no time!
Are the press-ons reusable?
They are 100% reusable if apply and remove properly. You can reuse them over 5 times if applied with liquid glue and cleaned properly after removal.
If you are embarking on your luxury press-ons nails, you might want to invest in an electric nail drill to remove the liquid glue from the back. You can find inexpensive ones on amazon ranging from $10-30. The drill will gently remove any liquid glue build-up so you can get more wear times on your nail set.
If you would be using the stick tabs, you will not need an electric drill.
If you need a recommendation, feel free to ask me and I would be more than happy to share some of the ones I like. Plus, they are very affordable!
Do you create custom press-ons nails?
Yes, absolutely! I would love to translate your vision, idea, or vibe into a beautiful set. You are more than welcome to send me a reference photo of what you would like.
The first step for custom designs is to get a sizing kit from Polished and Ready to ensure a perfect fit.
Not all nail shapes and sizes are universal sadly!
I offer a wide range of shapes and lengths and this means that I might use different brands to offer all these variations. Unless you wear the same shape and length all the time, I highly encourage you to purchase a sizing kit to make sure your custom design set fits perfectly.
** I will not recreate the work from other press-ons nail artists**
Quick Disclaimer:
Nail sizes can differ even if you just change the length. For example, nail sizes in short/coffin might be different from long/coffin. This is due to how the manufacturer makes them.
Can I make a change to the design?
Yes, absolutely! If you want to make changes to the color or small changes to the design, feel free to add a comment in the note section.
If you forget to add any comments, please send me an email, and I can do any changes within 24 hours of the purchase. After 24 hours, I will proceed with the original design.
