Why We Skip the Glue (On Purpose)

At 'wild & whimsy nails', we believe your nail journey should be completely customised to your lifestyle.

Through chatting with our community, we've found that nail preferences vary hugely from person to person. Your choice of adhesive depends entirely on how long you want your nails to stay on, how you prefer to apply them and how easily you like to remove them.

Because most press-on lovers already have a favourite go-to adhesive, we've chosen not to include liquid glue in our care packages - so you can use the exact product your natural nails already know and love, without any unwanted extras going to waste.

Tabs are your short-term, low-commitment option - quick on, quick off, no residue left behind. Glue gets you the salon-strength hold and is generally more secure and longer lasting.
Neither is ‘better’ - it's really about how long you want the set to last and what you’re comfortable using.  

The longevity of your press-on nails depends on your application and prep.

Sticky Tabs: 3 days up to 2 weeks
Nail Glue: Approx. 2 weeks or more.

Please note: these can vary based on individual lifestyle factors, also whether the correct application and prepping techniques were used.

The Secret to Longevity: Prep, Prep, Prep!  No matter which adhesive you choose, the true test of wear and durability comes down to one thing: preparation. Get your prep right and your nails can easily be worn and reused two to three times, if not more!

Soak, don't peel. Whatever adhesive you've used, give it time to properly loosen before you attempt to lift a nail off.

If it's putting up a fight, it's not ready yet.

Try adding olive or cuticle oil to help loosen the barrier. Ideally use a cuticle pusher (included in your care pack) to gently lift the press-on from your nail bed.

Yes 'wild & whimsy nails' are 100% reusable!

To reuse, remove any residue from sticky tabs or chosen glue using the buffer provided in your care package, gently clean in soapy water, dry thoroughly, then your press-ons will be ready to pop back on!

Not if you treat them right.

The damage people worry about almost always comes from ripping a press-on nail off, rather than soaking and easing it away. Patience at removal time is what protects your natural nail underneath.

Yes, of course!

And a lot of our customers actually find press-ons help them stop biting - there's a physical barrier there that helps break the habit without you even noticing.
