Nail Prep

Alcohol Pads.

The thirty seconds that decide whether your set lasts five days or five hours. Natural oil sitting on the nail plate is the number one reason a tab lets go early — this is what removes it.

What it's made of
  • 70% isopropyl alcohol · purified water
  • Non-woven lint-free pad, 30 × 60mm unfolded
  • 50 individually sealed foil sachets

Every box of nails includes enough to prep once. This is the restock for a rotation. Also in The Nail Kit.

What's in the box

32 soft-gel nails in 16 sizes, and 3 tab sheets. No glue required, the tabs are in the box.

How to apply

Wash up, push cuticles back, dry completely. Press a tab onto your bare nail, smooth every bubble out, peel the top film, then line the nail up at the cuticle, tilt down, and press hard for a slow 30 count. Give it an hour before water. Long-hold day? Brush glue over the tab before the set goes on. The full walkthrough is on the technique page.

Will they fit my nails?

16 sizes with spares for both hands, and flexible soft gel that presses to your curve instead of fighting it. A curve mismatch is the number one reason press-ons pop off. Match each nail once and you'll know your numbers forever.

Tabs, glue, and real wear times

Tabs alone: up to 5 days, with the right prep. That's the design, and it's why the set survives to be worn again. Tabs + glue, the combo the press-on groupies run: up to 2 weeks. Straight glue: 2+ weeks. Whichever you pick, a lifted nail is a 30-second fix with a fresh tab.

Shipping & returns

30-day full refund. If it's not your thing, peel them off and send them back. Free shipping over $60.

Field notes Nail Prep

Why 70%, not 99%

  • 70% isopropyl works better here than a stronger one.

    The water content slows evaporation, so it stays on the nail long enough to actually lift the oil instead of flashing off.

  • Sealed individually.

    One pad, one prep — nothing dries out and nothing is shared between wears.

  • Lint-free.

    Cotton rounds leave fibres behind, and a fibre under a tab is a lifted edge by day two.

In practice
  1. Wipe each nail from cuticle to tip.
  2. Let it air-dry for a few seconds, and don't touch the nail after.
  3. Tab and press.

How It Works

Press. Wear. Peel. Repeat.

01
Press

Stick a tab, press for 30 seconds. Minutes, not an appointment. No dry time.

02
Wear

True-short leaves less edge to catch. Tabs alone carry up to 5 days with the right prep. The glue move is there when you want longer.

03
Peel

Lift from the side and the whole set comes off clean. No soaking, no drilling.

+
The Glue Move

Long-hold day? Brush glue over the tab before the set goes on. Full walkthrough on the technique page.

Again · Back to 01
Fresh tab, same set, next week. Peel, re-tab, wear it again. That's the whole trick.
