Perfect for nail techs, DIY enthusiasts, or those looking to add some nail art to their next nail appointment.

You’ll have plenty of options to choose from, so please read carefully.
📣Images should be of the highest quality available so that they do not print pixelated or grainy. You are responsible for sending me the pictures. I will not clean up, sharpen, enhance the images, nor will I search for a better image to use. Please keep in mind that the smaller the image size, the more condensed the images are, and the greater a chance of a grainy decal. 📣Please send the pictures within 24 hours of purchase, but ideally before even purchasing this listing.
Nail decals of your chosen images available as follows:
CUSTOM WATERSLIDE OR STICKER DECAL CARD:
•Small card. Approx 2.2x2.8” (images will be approx. 8-12mm depending on images selected; up to 10 images repeated once)
•Medium card. Approx 3.6x4.25” (images will be approx. 12-20mm depending on images selected; up to 10 images repeated once)
•Large card. Approx 4.25x5.5” (images will be approx. 15-25mm depending on images selected; up to 10 images repeated once)
**If you purchase the stickers or a clear background, it is best placed on white/light backgrounds. Placing them on a darker background will essentially make them disappear**
FULL COVER WATERSLIDE WRAPS
•12 extra short/short wraps (approx 28mm long)
•20 short wraps (approx 28-22mm long)
•20 medium length wraps (approx 35-30mm long)
•20 long,XL,XXL wraps (approx 60-52mm long)
**It is recommended that these be printed on a white background. Full nail waterslide wraps can be trickier to place on the nails, and have a bit of a learning curve if you’re new to it, but well worth the results! I would recommend purchasing an additional set… just in case*

HOW TO APPLY (images on card):
1. Cut the desired decal.
2. Soak in water for about 5 seconds.
3. Remove from water and slide the decal back and forth between your finger and your thumb. If it is not sliding, let it soak for a few more seconds. **if you are purchasing the ultra thin paper, place the decal on top of a jelly stamper and gently slide the decal off**
4. Place on the nail and smooth out the decal to get rid of any air bubbles. If it doesn’t lay flat, make a small cut where it folds. Pat the decal with a lint-free wipe if there is excess water.
5. Once the decal is dry, apply 2 coats of top coat.
TIPS:
• Place decal on the tacky nail surface (cured base gel or cured foil gel) for maximum adhesion.
•If you are using a larger decal or are placing the decal on a curved area of the nail, you may find it helpful to make small cuts on the decal before placing it in water.
•The best results are obtained if you encapsulate the decals with builder gel, polygel or acrylic. If you don’t have those options available, another layer of base gel and then top coat will work too!
•Be careful when using acetone or alcohol as these ingredients can/will degrade the images.
HOW TO APPLY (full cover decal):
1. Cut the desired decal. Make small cuts around the edge of the decal where there is likely to be some bunching (such as the cuticle edge and apex)
2. Soak in water for 15-30 seconds.
3. Remove from water and gently slide decal away from paper backing by using tweezers. **Do not force the decal off as you could tear or smudge the image**. If it is not sliding, let it soak for a few more seconds. **You could also try using a jelly stamper to transfer the decal**
4. Place on the tacky nail surface (with a cured base gel or cured foil gel) and smooth out the decal to get rid of any air bubbles. If it doesn’t lay flat, make a small cut at the edge. Pat the decal with a lint-free wipe if there is excess water.
5. Once the decal is dry, apply 2 coats of top coat. **As this is a full nail wrap, it is very important that you cap the edges of the nails to seal the decal and prevent any lifting.**
6. Be careful when using acetone or alcohol as these ingredients can/will degrade the images.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing details
Sizing can be tricky!
There are some small differences between each nail shape and length, especially for the larger or smaller nail tips.
All of the nail tips that are used to create your custom press on nails are the Apres Gel-x tips (except Ballerina and 3XL).
Your best bet is to:
1. purchase a Sizing Kit with your preferred shape and length prior to purchasing your Standard Set, or
2. purchase a Full Set (when available) as it contains 10-14 different nail sizes, or
3. Purchase “replacement nails” in addition to the standard set, or
4. Purchase “Full Set (Add on)” in addition to your nail set.
But before you go through all of that trouble, send me a message! I’ll be more than happy to answer any questions regarding the sizing.
Processing Time
My nails are hand painted with love! These nails are not mass-produced. Processing time will vary depending on the number of sets needed to complete. Nail sets take time to create as they are hand painted. I don't start the painting process until your order has been confirmed (unless otherwise stated in the listing, i.e. pre made and ready to ship). If there is a potential delay, I will let you know.
If you prefer a faster processing time, please take a look at my listings that are ready to ship or request a "Rush My Order" which is an additional fee.
Matte Finishes
Matte finishes may not stay matte for the duration of the time you wear the nail set. There will be added shine to the nails once you start wearing them. Think of it the same way that leather starts to develop a patina when it is exposed to your natural oils, hand creams, cuticle oil, etc. However, it will not reach a high shine that you would see in a glossy finish. You can use a bit of alcohol to remove excess oils and freshen up your nails. You can also add a layer of matte top coat to minimize the added shine.
Custom and Personalized Orders
Some additional customization may be available such as adding rhinestones, crystals, decals, based on availability. It is best to contact me first to see if I have the items in stock and if I am able to meet your expectations.
You can also take a look at my Custom Design listing for a sense of the pricing.
Additional charges may apply.

Children’s Press on Nails
The recommended age for children to wear press on nails is age 7 and up. With that said, it is the parent/guardian to determine whether their child can or should wear press on nails.
Children’s press on nails do not come with nail glue (only nail tabs), and nail glue should not be used on children. These nail sets should only be used for a very short duration. Parents should monitor the children’s nails periodically to ensure that the press on nails are secure and adhering to the natural nail.
Holiday and Seasonal Nail Sets
Holiday and seasonal nail sets will be posted to my Etsy page during the relevant months/seasons. If you require an item off season, I.e. you need toe nail press ons during the winter months, or Christmas nails in the summer, you can check out my website, which will have these seasonal items year round.
Wearing Sculpted Nails
If you have a flat/flatter nail bed but would like to wear sculpted nails, you can wear them with the sticky nail tabs. For deep C-curves you might need to wear two sticky tabs per nail. For a stronger adherence, use a good amount of nail glue + tabs to secure the press on.
If the curve is minimal, you can file the press on nails by about 1-2mm from the cuticle end. This will maintain the appearance of the C-curve and still allow your press ons to adhere to your natural nails without them overlapping onto the skin around your nails.
If you’re not sure what method is best for you, as it might be difficult testing this out on a painted set, please purchase a sizing kit + application kit to test it out on blank nails first.
