Why Choose Press-On Nails?

From regular nail polish to acrylic extensions, the world of nail beauty offers many options.

Our kits go beyond just press-on nails, offering a complete package that ensures you achieve salon-quality results with ease.

Essential Steps for Flawless Application

Step 1: Perfect Preparation

  • Start with a clean slate using nail polish remover
  • Gently push back your cuticle line
  • Use a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol to clean
  • Lightly buff your natural nail beds
  • Wipe with an alcohol pad for perfect adhesion

Step 2: Size Selection Secrets

Pro tip from Edwards recommends: Take time to find the right size for each finger, from thumb to pinky. A perfect fit makes your manicure look more natural and helps it adhere better. Our kit includes various sizes, making it easy to create that custom salon look.
