How long will my Over Polished press-on nails stay on?

Wear time depends on how well you prep your natural nails before application, choice of adhesive, and daily activities. Prep your nails with the supplies included, and avoiding long term exposure to water/oils to ensure a long wear time. *Please AVOID water and oils for 2 hours after application.

DOUBLE SIDED STICKY TABS- can hold anywhere from 1-3 days and are perfect for temporary wear and special occasions.

GLUE- your nails can last anywhere up to 2 weeks or longer! Please do not wear nails that are lifting. This can become a source for bacteria to breed. Remove lifting nails, then clean and dry both press ons and natural nails before reapplying your press on nails.
