Price: Better Art, Better Value 💸

I started making press-ons because I was tired of paying $100+ for a "simple" gel set that didn’t even look like the photo I brought in. With custom press-ons, you get high-end, hand-painted art for way less than you’d spend on a basic manicure at a salon.

Time: Your Couch > The Salon Chair ⏳

Masterpieces take time, but you shouldn't have to sit in a chair for 6 hours while I re-paint a Disney castle until it’s perfect! I do the heavy lifting in my studio so you only have to spend 10 minutes applying them at home. No commute, no small talk—just great nails.

Designs: If You Can Dream It, I Can Paint It 🎨

I love a challenge! Whether you want me to "copy & paste" a specific inspo photo or recreate the pattern from your favorite vintage quilt, the sky is the limit. Your nails should be as unique as you are.

Durability: Wear, Remove, Repeat ♾️

We’ve all had that moment where one salon nail pops off and the whole set feels ruined. Not here! If a nail falls off, you just glue it back on and keep going. Plus, they’re reusable. When you're ready for a change, pop them back in their case and save them for next time!

Absolutely! This is one of the best parts about press-on nails.

Once you’ve safely removed your set, you can simply file away any old glue residue from the inside of the nail. Pop them back into your storage container for safekeeping, and they’ll be ready to rock whenever you want to wear them again!

Think of it as commissioning a tiny piece of art for your fingertips! We’ll work together to make sure your set fits your nails and your personality. Because there are a few mandatory steps (like sending me your inspo pics and doing a quick sizing check), I’ve laid it all out in a super simple guide.

If you’ve ordered from me before, no worries—I have your sizes on file! You’re all set to go ahead and order.

If this is your first time ordering from Carolemon Nails, you have two options to find your perfect fit:

• 📦 Ready-to-Wear Sizing Kit: I highly recommend starting here! This is the most accurate way to find your sizes, plus you get a solid-color set to wear immediately while you wait for your custom art.

• 🪙 The Coin Method: If you’re itching to get your custom set sooner, we can get a close measurement using a photo. Simply send me top-down photos of your nails next to a quarter, and I can determine your sizes based on the scale.

A quick note: While the Coin Method is very reliable, it isn’t always 100% exact. You might need to do some very minor filing or shaping when your nails arrive to get that perfect, seamless fit!

My usual turnaround time is about a week, but please allow 10–14 days to receive your nails. Since each set is hand-painted and customized just for you, this window gives me the time needed to make sure they’re perfect before they head your way!

If you’re in a hurry, you can add the “Get My Nails Fast” rush option to your order.

Need them by a specific date? Feel free to reach out and let me know! I’ll always do my best to see what I can do to make it happen for you.

When applied correctly, Carolemon Nails typically last 2–4 weeks.

Trust me, this was my biggest hesitation at first, too! Drugstore press-ons used to last maybe 3 hours max on me. The difference here is the salon-quality materials, specifically the glue included with your set. It’s basically liquid cement—I usually have to manually remove my own sets at the 3-week mark!

To make sure you get the most out of your mani, I include detailed application and removal instructions with every order. If you’re still feeling hesitant, feel free to reach out and we can chat!

Don’t even worry—this is the easiest part! To make sure your application is flawless, I include instructions with every set. Here is the breakdown:

• 💅 Push Back Cuticles: Using the pink cuticle pusher, gently push back the skin at the base of your nail. This creates that clean, salon-quality look!

• ☁️ Buff the Surface: Using the flat side of the nail file, lightly roughen the surface of your natural nails. Be gentle! You just want to add enough texture for the glue to really latch onto.

• 💧Apply the Glue: Place a small dot of glue on your natural nail AND a thin layer to the roughened section on the back of the press-on. This ensures the glue reaches every corner for a secure bond.

• 🔄 Roll on the Nail: Avoid pressing straight down to prevent air bubbles! Align the base of the press-on just under your cuticle line at a 45-degree angle, then roll it down onto your nail bed.

• ⏳ Hold Tight & Keep Dry: Press down firmly for 30 seconds, making sure to apply pressure to the sides as well as the center. Wipe away any excess glue and keep your hands dry for at least 30 minutes to let the glue fully set.

To ensure you’re able to safely and effectively remove your press-ons (without ripping them off!), I include removal instructions with every set. Patience is key to keeping your natural nails healthy! Here is the process:

• 🪄 Lift the Edge: Very gently lift the edge of your press-on with the pink cuticle pusher. Do not force it! You don't need the whole nail off yet; you just want to break the seal somewhere along the outer perimeter.

• 🧼 Hot, Soapy, & Oily: Prepare a bowl of very warm water (be careful not to burn yourself!). Add a good amount of dish soap and olive oil. Mix it up as best you can—oil and water don’t usually get along, but they’re going to today!

• 🫧 Let it Soak: Soak your nails for 5–20 minutes. Intermittently check your nails to see if you can get more of the edge separated with the cuticle pusher. If it hurts, STOP and let it soak longer. Patience always wins here.

• ✨ Buff off the Glue: Once all the nails are off, dry your hands completely. Use the nail file to lightly buff any remaining glue off your natural nails, and follow up with cuticle oil for a fresh, clean look.

• 📥 Save ‘em for Later: Dry your press-ons and use the file to remove any leftover residue from the inside of the nail. Store them back in their original container so you can wear them again in the future!
