Everything You Need to Know About xPRESS/ON Press-on Nails

Enter xPRESS/ON: 14 days of wear, a shade range of all our greatest hits, and all the nail art effects you can imagine. Changing your mind has never looked so good.

Salon-worthy Nails On-the-Go

If you're keeping it classic, you can't go wrong with an icon.

Think Big Apple Red®, Lincoln Park After Dark®, or the ultimate no-fail neutral, Bubble Bath®.

Feeling like more of a main character today?

That's what effects are for.

Glaze press-on nails give you that glassy, glossy finish. Ombré press-on nails do the gradient thing so you don't have to. And cat-eye press-on nails are basically magic that makes your nails look like they're shimmering from the inside. If you're going full nail art, the animal print press-on nails and stripe press-on sets are for you. 

Your nails should fit your vibe

Take your pick of almond, squoval, square, round, or coffin. Short and clean or long and loud, it's all on the table.

How to Apply Press-on Nails

Every xPRESS/ON kit comes stocked with everything you need: a dual file and buffer, a cuticle stick, and nails in enough sizes to fit anyone. Here's how to go from bare nails to full mani in five easy steps.

Step 1:

Hold each press-on up to your natural nail to find your perfect size before you commit to anything.

Step 2:

Square, round, almond, stiletto, squoval? Use the Shape Up side of your file to customize the length and shape exactly how you want it.

Step 3:

Buff, file, wipe, and don't skip pushing back those cuticles. This is the unglamorous step nobody talks about, but it's the actual secret to a mani that lasts.

Step 4:

Pick how you press. 

Going long-term? Reach for glue.

Apply Make It Stick Glue to both the press-on and your natural nail, then hold for 30 seconds.

MAKE IT STICK GLUE

Need something for tonight? No-glue is your move.

Apply Make It Stick Tabs to the back of the press-on, hold for 30 seconds, and massage lightly to seal it in.

Glue vs. Tabs: Which One’s For You?  

Here's the thing: there's no wrong answer, just what fits your plans. Every xPRESS/ON kit comes with glue for classic application, but if you want more control, Make It Stick Glue's brush-on formula makes precision easy. Not trying to commit to glue at all? Make It Stick Tabs work with any xPRESS/ON set and are basically made for last-minute plans. Date night, spontaneous brunch, sitting in the passenger seat. You’re covered for all of it. 

How to Remove xPRESS/ON Press-on Nails

When you're ready for a change, soak your nails in warm water for 10 minutes, then gently lift off with the cuticle stick. No damage, no drama.
