What Makes Lavendroid Press-On Nails Different
The Lavendroid Press-On Nail Set features a silvery chrome cat-eye base that shifts and pulses with movement, fading into a deep cobalt violet at the tips. The aurora shimmer over the chrome gives the set a colour-shifting, almost holographic quality that photographs differently in every light. The short oval shape is cyber-ready and unexpectedly wearable.
These nails are individually crafted from multi-layered salon gel with hand-painted, hand-sculpted designs. They have the weight, flex, and finish of a professional set. No embellishments, no distractions — the finish does everything.

How to Size Your Lavendroid Press-On Nails
Getting the size right is the most important step for a comfortable, lasting fit. The set includes 20 nails across 10 sizes, so you have plenty of options.
- Match each nail to your natural nail: Hold an unpainted nail over each of your natural nails. Choose the size that covers the entire nail bed from sidewall to sidewall without overlapping the cuticle or skin. The nail should sit flush against the cuticle.
- Check the fit at the base: The press-on nails are tapered for a no-lift fit — flexible at the base for a flush cuticle fit and reinforced at the tip for durability. If the base lifts, try a smaller size.
- Select your size variant: Choose XS/S, S/M, or M/L depending on your overall nail width. The 10 sizes within each variant give you fine-tuning.
Step-by-Step Application
Follow these steps for a secure application that lasts up to 2 weeks with the included sticky tabs.
- Prep your natural nails: Use the included cuticle stick to gently push back cuticles. Lightly buff the surface of your natural nails with the nail file to remove shine. Clean each nail with the alcohol prep pad to remove oils and dust.
- Select and test your sizes: Arrange the chosen nails in order on a flat surface. Do a dry fit to confirm each nail matches the correct finger.
- Apply the sticky tab: Peel the backing from one sticky tab and press it onto your natural nail. Remove the second backing film.
- Press on the nail: Align the press-on nail with your cuticle and press down firmly for a few seconds. Hold pressure on the entire nail surface, especially the edges.
- Repeat for all nails: Apply the remaining nails one at a time. Avoid water for at least one hour after application to allow the bond to set.
Tips for a Long-Lasting Wear
The nails are reusable up to 4 times when removed and stored properly. To remove, gently lift from the side using a cuticle stick or dental floss — do not pull or twist. Clean the nail and the tab residue with alcohol before storing in the original case.
If you prefer a stronger hold, you can use press-on glue instead of the sticky tabs. With glue, wear extends to 3 weeks. No acrylate glue is required with the Insanely Sticky Tabs, making them a good option for those with acrylate allergies.
The hand-buffed smooth edges are rounded to sub-millimeter precision, so they won't catch on clothing or scratch your skin.
