In every box. On today, off tonight, nothing to dissolve. Peel the tab and the whole set goes back in the box for next time.
Up to 5 days of wear
There’s a right way to wear press-ons. Three, actually.
Every other brand picks your hold for you and seals it in the box. We put the tab in and leave the rest to you — per day, not per brand.
What the press-on groupies actually do: tab down first, one layer of glue over the tab. You get the hold of the glue and the tab underneath is still your way out.
Up to 2 weeks of wear
Straight glue, the way press-ons have always been worn. Our soft gel handles it fine. The catch is removal: a proper soak, some patience, and the set may not survive it. We’re not judging.
2+ weeks of wear
Actually short, out of the box.
"Short" in this category is a long nail with a haircut. Ours is built extra short from the base: type, text, open the can, live your life.
It was never your nails.
Sets that popped off didn’t match your curve. 32 nails in 16 sizes, and a soft tab that cushions to the shape your nail actually is.
It was never your fault. It was the glue on your nail.
Damaged nails, greenies, reactions: different stories, one address. Glue bonds straight to your nail plate, and removal is where that bond collects. The soak, the pry, the layer that leaves with it.
Tabs bond to the tab, not to you. Nothing to file off, nothing to dissolve, nothing to pry. And while your nails do the recovering, the sets do the covering: full look on top, grow-out happening quietly underneath.

The Repeat Method, step by step.
Not our invention. The press-on community worked this one out, we just wrote down the clean version.
01
Prep like always.
Wash up, push cuticles back, dry completely. Oil is the enemy of every adhesive, glue included, and it hides at the cuticle.
02
Tab down first.
Your size, pressed onto the bare nail, every bubble smoothed out. The tab is the layer that gives you a way out later.
optional · event wear03
Brush glue over it.
A thin layer over the tab. Thin is the skill: more glue is not more hold, it’s more cleanup. Skipping it? Just tabs, also correct.
04
Press for a slow 30.
Line the set up at the cuticle, tilt down, press hard for a slow 30 count. The press is the application. Give it an hour before water.
05
The exit, later.
This one earns a real removal: warm soapy soak, ease in from the side, patience over force. Most of the bond rides the tab, not you.
Why is there no glue with each set of nails? We left it out on purpose.
Most brands drop a tiny tube of the cheapest glue they can source into the box. You know the one. Harsh, hard to control, thrown out unused. We won’t put bad glue in a box, so we left it out and took it off the price of each set. And we made a brush-on glue that’s actually worth using.
We’d rather put that money into your price than into a glue bottle you’ll never open.

Still deciding?
How long do adhesive tabs hold?
Up to 5 days on their own, with the right prep. That’s the design, and it’s why the set survives to be worn again. Need longer? That’s what the glue move is for: up to 2 weeks, with the tab still underneath.
Can I use glue with your nails?
Yes, two ways. Straight glue, the classic way: soft gel takes it fine. Or the move: tab down first, glue over it, so the hold comes with a way out. The walkthrough is right above.
Are tabs reusable?
No, tabs are single-use, one fresh tab per wear. The set is what you re-use. Every box ships with tabs, and The Nail Kit carries the deep stock plus our brush-on glue.
Which glue should I use?
Any brush-on nail glue you already trust works. Ours lives in The Nail Kit if you’d rather not think about it. Skip the runny one-drop tubes: control is the whole game when you’re gluing over a tab.
Real talk.
Welding a set on for a two-week trip? Then glue it, genuinely. Ours is in the kit, or use the bottle you already trust. Wanting nails you can take off, fix, and wear again? Tabs are in every box. You don’t have to pick a side. That’s the point.
Try taking a set off.
That’s the moment it clicks.
On for the weekend, off by Monday, back in the box for next time.
