ABOUT OUR NAILS
Nail Nation nails are made using advanced soft-gel technology — the same salon-grade formula used for professional gel extensions, now in a ready-to-wear format.
Soft-gel nails are:
- Lightweight and flexible, moving naturally with your own nails for a comfortable fit.
- Thinner at the cuticle for a seamless, salon-quality finish.
- Stronger through the tip, giving the durability you need without the brittleness of acrylic.
- Reusable: when applied and removed correctly.
- Finished with an external gel-matte layer that’s scratch and chip-resistant — keeping your nails flawless from day one to day done.
In short: Nail Nation nails combine salon-grade quality with real-life practicality — no fuss, and completely fileable for your perfect fit.
Yes! All Nail Nation nails can be filed, shaped, or shortened to suit your style. Whether you prefer a rounded, square, or tapered look, our soft-gel nails shape easily without cracking or losing shine — just like salon nails, minus the appointment.
With proper prep and application, your nails can last up to 2 weeks using glue, or up to 2 days with adhesive tabs. Your lifestyle, prep, and glue type make all the difference.
Absolutely. With gentle removal and proper care, our soft-gel nails can be reused 2–3 times. Just remove any leftover glue before your next application.
Every set includes 30 soft-gel nails in 15 different sizes, a nail file, cuticle stick, alcohol pad, adhesive tabs, and two glues — a brush-on glue for precision and a mini dropper for touch-ups on the go.
Glue gives up to 2 weeks wear, perfect for long-lasting slay. Adhesive tabs last 1–2 days — great for weekend wear or quick switch-ups. Your nails, your schedule.
Yes. When applied and removed correctly, they’re damage-free. We use premium soft-gel materials that are non-toxic, cruelty-free, and vegan.
Early lifting is almost always linked to glue application or technique. For a secure, long-lasting hold (up to 2 weeks), apply a generous, even layer of brush-on glue across your entire natural nail — this ensures full coverage and maximum grip, as well as the underside of your press-on nail.
When applying, place the press-on at a 45-degree angle, starting right at the cuticle line, then gently roll it down onto your nail. This helps eliminate air bubbles, which is one of the main causes of early lifting.
Once in place, press firmly for 30 seconds to lock the bond.
Pro tip: Always prep properly — clean, dry, oil-free nails (no lotions, residue, or leftover oils) give the glue the perfect surface to adhere to.
Get the technique right, and your set won’t just look good — it’ll stay put through real life.
Keep your mini dropper glue handy — it’s perfect for quick fixes. Lightly buff, reapply glue, and press firmly. You’ll be back in business in seconds.
Each Nail Nation kit includes 30 nails in 15 sizes, so you can find your perfect fit straight from the box — no measuring required. For the most natural look, the nail should fit snugly side-to-side without overlapping your skin.
Absolutely — your lifestyle shouldn’t have to change just because you’re wearing press-ons. When they’re applied correctly (good prep, a generous even layer of glue, and no air bubbles), your set is designed to stay put through real life: swimming, showers, workouts, school runs, workdays, late nights… and yes, even the endless dishes.
Our press-ons are made for women who move — women with jobs, kids, deadlines, holidays, side hustles, and a to-do list that never quite ends. If your application is solid, your nails will be too.
