How Long Do Press-on Nails Last?

You are missing out if you haven’t attempted press-on nails yet! It is the most recent and fashionable way of having your nails done at a low cost without damaging your natural nails through acrylics or gel polish. Apart from being durable and long-lasting, they also contribute to better overall nail health.

So, what is the average duration that press-on nails last for? Just like acrylics and gel polish, they are meant to stay in place for at least two weeks. However, their lifespan depends on how well you maintain them. Activities such as excess typing, applying pressure on them or handling hefty objects may result in breaking and therefore shorten their life.

In case a nail breaks down; all you need will be some glue which can be easily found at home thus saving time and money compared to salon visits for acrylics and gels.

WHAT ARE PRESS-ON NAILS?

These are artificial nails that stick onto your natural ones with glue. We have different shapes including round, oval, square, cat-eye almond-shaped coffin or any other shape depending on our customers preferences. For this reason at Galspro we make our press-ons looking like acrylic nails so that we give you a salon look without much work involved.

Press-on nails were invented to tackle several issues such as expense and time commitment since one has to frequent salons every fortnight for acrylics and gels.Some people spend 10-15 minutes while others take up an hour just doing this kind of thing but with press-ons it takes roughly 10-15 minutes only unlike before.

DO YOU NEED TO TAKE BREAKS FROM PRESS-ONS?

Unlike acrylics and gels that call for a break due to possible harm to the nail plate underneath them; press-on nails are less harsh on your natural ones. Meanwhile these glues do not damage the natural nail plate as significantly as what is used for acrylics and is easily dissolved by acetone with no traces left behind.

Consider taking a break if you see any cracks or your natural nails get damaged within. This will enable your nails to become stronger and breathe naturally. However, as long as they are properly cared for, press-ons can be worn continuously or used for short-term events such as special occasions.

CAN YOU FILE AND TRIM PRESS-ON NAILS?

Yes, you can file and trim press-on nails just like acrylics or even natural ones. We have particular files for that purpose in our Galspro sets. Ours are professionally formed ready-to-wear but it’s up to you to cut them with nail cutter and file into the desired shape.

Press-on nails combine strength and a salon-like appearance since they last up to two weeks before needing a replacement. They give an alternative way of having healthy looking nails without having to do the expensive procedure of acrylics and gels which saves time and money plus it still remains stylish.
