FAQs

Why should I try press-on nails?

Press-on nails are the most effortless way to achieve a perfect manicure. You can do them yourself, at home, in a few minutes. They are non-damaging (vs acrylic or gel nails), but still long-wearing. And most of all, you can try out and change designs whenever you want. Experiment with shapes, lengths, and designs - indulge your wimsy!
And why should I try Empress nails?

Empress nails are handcrafted, with high quality UV gel polish (divinely glossy and highly chip-resistant). Our sizing options ensure you find your most natural-looking fit, ensuring a long wear time. We curate the most whimsical and the trendiest designs for you.
How long do press-ons even last?

With some care, up to 2 weeks! If you apply them using our nail glue, and following our guide, you should be able to wear your Empress nail set for 15 days. Our sizing options ensure you find your most natural-looking fit, ensuring a long wear time by providing a closer bond between the press-on and natural nail. However, if you do want to wear them for a specific occasion (and save them to re-wear later), apply them using the glue tabs we sent you. They will still last you 1-2 days, if applied with the right prep. Do as your heart desires!
How do I make them look natural?

That's where Empress' sizing options come in - because the right size ensures they look like your natural nails! Using our sizing guide, you can select your size (small, medium or large) based on your nail bed width.

Can I reuse my press-on nail set?

Absolutely! That's one of the best things about using press-ons, you can remove them gently, clean and then re-wear them whenever you want.
