Press-on nails, nail file or gentle buffer, cuticle pusher, alcohol wipe or nail cleanser, and nail glue or adhesive tabs.
Don't skip prep — oils and moisture can cause lifting.
Option A — Nail glue (Longer wear: 7–14 days)
Short-term wear: 1–3 days. A handy alternative when you want to change your nails more frequently.
Good to know: Avoid water for at least 1 hour after application to help your press-on nails stay securely in place.
Ready for a change? Removing your press-on nails properly helps protect your natural nails and gives your reusable sets the best chance of staying in great condition. The key is to be gentle and take your time.
If you feel resistance or discomfort, stop and soak again. Pulling or prying off a nail that's still firmly attached can damage your natural nail and the press-on itself.
The same gentle soaking method can help loosen the tabs. Work slowly around the edges and only remove the press-on once it releases easily.
Glue can take longer to loosen and may need several soaks. Some stronger adhesives may require a suitable nail glue remover. Follow the remover's instructions and check that it's compatible with reusable press-on nails. Never force a nail that remains attached.
A little care between wears goes a long way. Keep your reusable sets clean, protected and looking their best so they're ready whenever you fancy wearing them again.
Gently remove any loosened glue or adhesive tab residue from the underside of your press-on nails. Work carefully and avoid scraping or forcing stubborn adhesive.
Gently clean your nails with lukewarm water and a little mild soap where suitable. Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth and allow them to dry completely before storing.
Once completely dry, return your nails to their original protective case. Keep them somewhere clean and dry, away from dust, direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Good to know: Once removed, avoid unnecessarily soaking your press-on nails. Keep acetone and harsh cleaning products away from painted designs, gems and 3D details, and never scrub the surface. Always allow your nails to dry completely before storing.
Some nail designs need a little extra TLC. Whether you've chosen sparkling gems, statement charms or a beautiful matte finish, these simple tips will help keep your handmade nails looking their best.
Take extra care with raised details, gems and charms. Avoid catching them on clothing, hair or other surfaces, and never pull or pick at decorations. Be gentle when cleaning around them to help prevent loosening.
Hair can easily catch around longer nails, gems and charms. Use the pads of your fingers rather than your nails when shampooing or conditioning. For more detailed sets, consider wearing waterproof gloves to protect the decorations.
Natural skin oils and everyday contact can make matte nails appear shiny over time. A gentle wipe with an alcohol wipe can often help restore their matte appearance. Avoid rubbing delicate artwork or decorations, and allow the nails to dry naturally.
Good to know: Your press-on nails are little works of art, not tools! Avoid using them to open packaging, scrape surfaces or lift objects. Taking a little extra care helps protect the designs and gives your sets the best chance of being worn again and again.
How long your press-ons last depends on your preparation, application method and everyday activities. Nail glue typically offers longer wear of around 7–14 days, while adhesive tabs are better suited to shorter wear of approximately 1–3 days. These are estimates rather than guarantees. Proper preparation and careful application help give your nails the best possible hold.
Yes! Once your adhesive has had time to set, normal showering is generally fine. Avoid getting your nails wet for at least 1 hour after application. Prolonged soaking and very hot water can weaken the adhesive, so take care and dry your hands thoroughly afterwards. Be especially gentle with sets featuring gems, charms or raised decorations.
Absolutely! Rhiannon's Talons press-ons are designed to be reusable when cared for properly. Always remove them gently without pulling or forcing, carefully clean away any adhesive residue from the underside and allow them to dry completely. Store your nails in their protective case until you're ready to wear them again. Reusability will depend on their condition after each wear.
If a charm or decoration starts to loosen, avoid pulling, picking or catching it on clothing or other surfaces. If it is at risk of detaching, stop wearing the affected nail until it can be safely assessed. You're welcome to get in touch for advice on the best next step. Taking extra care with detailed designs helps protect your handmade nail art.
Both are great options depending on how you want to wear your nails! Nail glue provides a stronger hold and is ideal for longer wear. Adhesive tabs are better for occasions, weekends or when you want to change your nails more frequently. Tabs are also generally easier to remove and clean away. Whichever option you choose, good nail preparation is key to getting the best results.
