Question 1

What makes Iki Studio press-on nails different?

Accepted Answer

Iki Studio press-on nails are handmade with care, intention, and artistry. They are not mass-produced drugstore press-ons. Each set is created to feel beautiful, wearable, and special, with salon-quality details you can enjoy from home.

Question 2

Are your press-on nails reusable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can be reused when applied and removed properly. For the best chance of reusing your set, avoid ripping them off and use a gentle removal method like warm soapy water or a safe press-on remover.

Question 3

How long do press-on nails last?

Accepted Answer

Wear time depends on your nail prep, lifestyle, and application method. With nail glue like The bind Glue, they can last several days up to 2 weeks. With adhesive tabs, they are usually best for short-term wear, special occasions, or a temporary look.

Question 4

Are press-on nails safe for my natural nails?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when applied and removed correctly. The biggest rule is: do not rip them off. Forcing removal can damage your natural nails. Gentle removal is part of the ritual, like the Press-off removal serum.

Question 5

How do I know my nail size?

Accepted Answer

The best way to find your perfect fit is with a Sizing Kit. This allows you to try the exact shape and length before ordering your set.

Question 6

What is the difference between a Sizing Kit and a Shape Finder?

Accepted Answer

A Sizing Kit helps you find your exact nail sizes for one shape and length.

A Shape Finder helps you explore different shapes and lengths before choosing your favorite style. Think of it as your little nail personality test, but prettier.

Question 7

Do I need to measure both hands?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your left and right hands may have different nail sizes. Always measure both hands for the best fit, with your nails bare.

Question 8

Can I just order XS, S, M, L, or XL?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but custom sizing is more accurate. Standard sizes can work for many people, but sizing may vary depending on the shape and length of the tips. For the best fit, a Sizing Kit is recommended. There's no Refund policy on premade sets for inaccurate fit.

Question 9

How do I apply my press-on nails?

Accepted Answer

Start with clean, dry nails. Push back your cuticles, gently buff the nail surface, remove dust, and cleanse your nails before applying. Then apply glue or adhesive tabs, place the nail at a slight angle near the cuticle, and press firmly.

Question 10

Should I use glue or adhesive tabs?

Accepted Answer

Use glue for longer wear and a stronger hold.
Use adhesive tabs for short-term wear, easy removal, or when you want to reuse your set more gently.

Question 11

Can I use acetone to remove my press-ons?

Accepted Answer

Acetone can damage or melt press-on nails, especially if you want to reuse them. If your goal is to protect both your natural nails and your press-on set, use a gentler removal method.
