Four different endings. One conclusion: your prep must be wrong.
"I just tried the tabs but they wiggle and I like long wear, at least 2 weeks... the wiggle will drive me insane"
"They are floating and pushing into my cuticle. I did all of the things and am hoping they'll firm up overnight... It drives me crazy"
"For the life of me I cannot get sticky tabs to work. My nails fall off before I'm completing the set... I do a full nail prep and no success."
"they won't stay on as long as they do with glue (maybe 5 days instead of 2 weeks)"
You know the one. You press your nails on, they look perfect, and by lunch one of them moves every time your thumb touches it. Or it sits up off the nail somewhere near the cuticle, and you spend the rest of the day aware of it. Or it never really grabbed at all, and you lost it before the set was even finished.
Nobody ever tells you it might not be your fault.
It's not you, and it's honestly not even the tabs. It's the fit.
Most gel tabs come one size fits all, and nails are not one size. Too big, and the tab hangs past your natural nail, so the edges have nothing to hold onto and the nail floats. Floating nail, gaps, wiggle. Too small, and it is barely gripping anything. Also wiggle.
A tab only holds where it actually touches your nail. That is the whole secret, and it is the part nobody in this category has ever bothered to explain to you.
01
Tab sizes, matched to your nail, finger by finger
Our packs come with a range of tab sizes, and you match each one to your own nail, finger by finger. Not to the press-on. To you.
Our nails are soft gel too, so the nail and the tab both follow your curve instead of fighting it. The grip becomes the whole nail rather than two pressure points at the ends.
The Bridge
Macro: a rigid nail on a flat bed touching only at the ends with daylight visible underneath, beside the same bed with the cushion filling it. Not rendered yet.
02
And if your nails are flat, that was never your fault either
A rigid adhesive asks your nail to match the press-on. A gel cushion does the opposite. It compresses where your nail is flat and stays full where it is not, so the disagreement between the two curves gets absorbed instead of fought. The soft gel nail helps from the other side by flexing toward you under the press.
What you feel is contact across the whole nail instead of a bridge touching at two ends.
03
The routine is one press
Clean, dry nails. Press the nail on. Hold for thirty seconds. That is the whole thing. No glue to paint on, nothing to dry, no cure time, nothing to soak off your skin later.
The thirty seconds is not a hack, it is the application. The firm press is what sets the gel tab. Honest part: it is a real thirty seconds. A quick two-second tap is how nails end up floating in your coffee. Give each one the full press and you are done properly.
Glue does not buy you hold. It buys you a gamble.
Read the reviews on any big nail glue and you will find both stories under the same product. Some people get two weeks. Some people get two or three days. Same glue, same instructions, wildly different endings, and no way to know which one you bought until you are already wearing it.
"Some say it lasts up to 2 weeks while others find it peels off after 2-3 days."

Ours is a window, not a gamble · up to five days, with the right prep
That is the number, said the same way every time, and we would rather be right about five than impressive about fourteen.
No gap at the cuticle. Look as close as you like.
Flush at the cuticle, no gap, no lift. Zoom in. We will wait.
Not a demo. Just a regular day.
The set came along for all of it, and every nail stayed where she pressed it.
What we believe about this
-
A nail should fit you
Not the average of everybody. That is why the tabs come in sizes and why you match each one yourself. It takes two minutes the first time and never again.
-
Nothing here needs glue
Not the hold, not the look, not the way it comes off. There is no glue in the pack at all.
-
The exit matters as much as the entrance
A set that has to be filed, soaked or pried off is not a set you own, it is a set you survive.
We could tell you two weeks. Plenty of people would, and you have already met what happens next.
We will tell you five days, with the right prep, because that is the number we can stand behind on a regular week. If a brand's promise is bigger than its product, you are the one who finds out.

Questions people actually ask
The four things that come up every single time, plus the one nobody asks until it is too late.
Will they wiggle?
Not if the tab fits. Wiggle comes from a tab that is too big, so it overhangs and the nail floats, or too small, so it barely grips. Your pack comes with a range of sizes so you can match each nail to yourself rather than settle for the nearest one.
How long do they stay on?
Up to five days, with the right prep. Clean, dry nails and a full thirty-second press on each one.
My nails are flat. Will anything stay on them?
The gel tab is a cushion rather than a rigid sticker, so it compresses where your nail is flat and stays full where it is not. The soft gel nail flexes toward you at the same time. Contact ends up across the whole nail instead of at two points.
How do they come off?
No soaking, no drilling, no glue on your nail bed. The tab lets go and the nail comes away.
Can I wear the same set again?
Yes. Peel it off clean, fresh tab, wear it again. Tabs are single use, and there are three sheets in every box.
