Question 1

How long do minimal press-ons actually last?

Accepted Answer

With proper dehydration and sizing, you can expect 2 weeks of wear. Using adhesive tabs will result in 1-3 days of wear, ideal for weekends.

Question 2

Will press-ons damage my natural nails?

Accepted Answer

Damage comes from improper removal, not the nails themselves. Never rip them off. Soak them in warm soapy water and oil to gently break the bond.

Question 3

What is the best shape for short, minimal nails?

Accepted Answer

A soft squoval is universally flattering and mimics the natural nail shape, making it the most realistic choice for a minimalist aesthetic.
