PRODUCT INFORMATION

What makes Jkavw Nail press-on nails different?

Jkavw Nail nails are handmade, gel-based press-ons crafted in small batches for a luxury, salon-level finish. Each set is made with salon-quality gel products, designed to be reusable, durable and comfortable to wear — without the time, cost or damage of traditional salon acrylics.

Our designs are created to feel like couture on your fingertips: considered shapes, flattering lengths and a high-gloss or velvet-matte finish that photographs beautifully.

How long do your press-ons last?

Wear time depends on your application method, lifestyle and how well you prep your nails:

Short-term wear (sticky tabs): usually 1–2 days – ideal for events, weekends, shoots or when you want a no-commitment mani.
Longer wear (glue): around 1–3 weeks with proper prep and care.

If you’re new to press-ons, we always recommend following our prep and removal guide carefully to maximise wear and protect your natural nails.

Can I reuse Jkavw Nail nails?

Yes – Jkavw Nail nails are reusable with the right care.

If you’ve used sticky tabs , simply peel off any remaining adhesive and clean the inside gently.
If you’ve used glue , you can carefully buff away leftover glue on the inside of the nail using a nail file or nail drill and then reuse.

Always store your nails back in their box or case between wears to protect their shape and shine.

How do I apply the nails?

Each order comes with a complimentary application kit and a printed instruction card.

In short, you will:

Prep your natural nails (trim, buff, push back cuticles, cleanse with alcohol wipe).
Choose your adhesive: sticky tabs (short-term) or glue (longer wear).
Apply each nail at a 45° angle , pressing from cuticle to tip and holding firmly.

We also share tutorials and application tips on our social media pages.

How do I remove them?

We always recommend gentle, non-acetone removal so you can reuse your set and keep your natural nails healthy.

Typically, you will:

Apply cuticle oil around the edges.
Soak your nails in warm water with a little soap and oil.
Gently wiggle and lift the nails off using a cuticle stick – never force or peel them.

A full removal step-by-step is included with your order and shared on our socials.

SIZING

How do I know which size to order?

We offer a Size Guide and measuring instructions to help you find the best fit.

You can:

Measure each nail at home using tape or a strip of paper and a millimetre ruler.
Compare your measurements to our size chart.

If you’re between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up , as a slightly larger nail can be gently filed to fit, whereas one that’s too small will never sit comfortably.

I’m unsure between sizes – what should I choose?

If most of your fingers fit one size but your thumbs don’t, we usually suggest choosing the next size up overall – for example:

If Small fits everything except your thumbs, go for Medium.

This gives you more flexibility, and you can lightly file nails for a bespoke fit where needed.

My nails are quite flat/curved – will your nails work for me?

Everyone’s nail beds are different. If you have very flat nail beds , you may find:

Sticky tabs can be more flexible for short-term wear.
A little warmth (from your hands or a hairdryer briefly over the press-on, not your natural nail) can help the nail curve adjust slightly before pressing it on.

If you’re unsure, you’re very welcome to email us with photos of your natural nails and we’ll do our best to recommend shapes and lengths: 📩 [email protected]
