Press-On Nails

What are press-on nails?

Press-on nails are reusable artificial nails that you can easily apply at home using nail glue or adhesive tabs. They give you a salon-quality manicure in minutes without the time, damage, or expense of regular acrylics or gels. 

Each tip is handpainted over a Aprex Gel-X full cover tip, so they look and wear exactly like a professional gel set, because they are!

How long do press-on nails last?

With proper application, press-on nails can last anywhere from 5–14 days. Adhesive tabs usually hold for a few days (perfect for events), while nail glue can last up to two weeks.

Are the nails reusable?

Yes! If you remove them gently and keep them clean, many of our sets can be reused multiple times. We recommend using adhesive tabs if you plan to reuse them.

Why choose Press-On Nails?

If you’ve ever walked out of a pricey two hour salon appointment with weakened natural nails, you’ll understand why so many are falling in love with press on nails.

With Velera, you’re in control. You pick the design, shape, and length you want and receive exactly that: durable, handcrafted nails with salon quality artistry. 

Will press-on nails damage my natural nails?

Not if applied and removed properly. Adhesive tabs are the gentlest option. If using glue, always soak them off instead of pulling.

Are the nails waterproof?

Yes, you can shower and wash your hands normally. However, prolonged soaking (like swimming or long baths) may reduce wear time, especially if using adhesive tabs.

Appliance

How do I choose the right size?

Our size guide makes it easy to find your perfect fit. If you’re between sizes, choose a slightly bigger size. Check out the Sizing Guide for more information!

How do I apply the nails?

Each set comes with everything you need:

  1. Clean and buff your natural nails.

  2. Wipe with an alcohol pad to remove oils.

  3. Apply adhesive tab or nail glue.

  4. Press the press-on nail  firmly for 10–20 seconds.

  5.  Don’t put your hands in water for the first 1-3 hours for better application

How do I remove press-on nails safely?

  • Soak nails in warm soapy water or apply cuticle oil around the edges.

  • Gently lift from the sides, never force them off.

If you use glue, you may need to soak longer or use olive oil or dish soap..

Can I file or shape the nails?

Yes! You can gently file or trim them to your preferred shape and length before or after applying.
