Frequently Asked Questions
Is liquid glue included with the press-on nails?
No — only Gel Pads are included in your press-on nail kits. Liquid glue is sold separately and available here.
Can I reuse my press-on nails if I use liquid glue?
Yes! You’ll just need to gently file off the dried glue residue using the mini nail file provided in your kit.
However, because glue leaves behind thin hardened layers, your press-ons will be reusable fewer times than with Gel Pads (which leave no trace at all).
On average, most users are able to reuse them 2–3 times.
How long does a set last with liquid glue?
With liquid glue, your press-ons can last up to 20 days on average.
Of course, you can remove them anytime using the wooden stick included in the kit.
Is the glue suitable for bitten nails?
Absolutely! It's even recommended if your nail beds are very short (less than 5 mm), to help your press-ons adhere properly.
Don’t apply glue if you have any cuts or open wounds on your nails.
Does the glue damage natural nails?
There is a slightly higher risk of damaging your natural nails compared to Gel Pads.
That said, if removal is done gently, the liquid glue won’t harm your nails — although it does leave some dried residue that must be filed off.
Gel Pads vs. Liquid Glue: What’s the difference?
To help you choose the method that suits you best, here are the main differences between Gel Pads and liquid glue:
- Application: both take 10 minutes and are beginner-friendly. Applying with glue requires a bit more focus to avoid overflow.
- Hold: the average wear time is 5–7 days with Gel Pads and 1–3 weeks with liquid glue.
- For whom? choose Gel Pads if you like to change styles or plan to wear/remove your press-ons frequently. Choose liquid glue if you want a longer-lasting set. Liquid glue is not recommended during pregnancy.
- Removal: taking off your press-ons is easier and faster with Gel Pads. Nails may get slightly damaged when using liquid glue.
- Reusability: Gel Pads leave no residue under the press-ons, making them reusable many times. Liquid glue leaves dried residue that needs to be filed off, so the press-ons can typically be reused only 2–3 times.
