FAQs
BOOKING / APPOINTMENTS
What are the differences between the nail art tiers?
I offer three nail art tiers to suit different styles and levels of detail:
• Minimal Nail Art – Simple but stylish! Think French tips (00’s, chrome, multi-color), subtle hand-painted details (stars, animal prints), one-color aura, block chrome nails, or basic abstract/tribal designs. A clean, trendy look with a lil’ edge.
• Intermediate Nail Art – A step up with more dimension and detail. This includes 3D/texture work, layered designs (e.g., aura with chrome details), multi-color airbrush art, and letters/numbers. You can mix up to three different designs in one set so go crazy, but cohesive!
• Complex Nail Art – For the nail art lovers who want it all! This is for highly detailed sets where each nail can have a different design, intricate details, 3D textures and mix/layering of intermediate designs. Nail art in this category is at a more complex level.
All press-on orders fall under Complex Nail Art as they are custom freestyle designs tailored to you.

GENERAL
Are your press-ons reusable?
Yes! With proper care and gentle removal, you can reuse your press-ons multiple times. Using adhesive tabs instead of glue will make reuse even easier.
How long do press-on nails last?
The wear time depends on how you apply them:
• Nail glue: 1–2 weeks
• Adhesive tabs: 1–3 days
Proper prep and aftercare will help extend their longevity.
What comes in the press-on nail kit?
Each press-on nail set includes:
A full set of press-ons (10 nails)
Nail glue
Adhesive tabs
Mini buffer
Cuticle pusher
Alcohol prep pad
Application & removal guide
Do you offer custom designs?
Yes! I offer custom moodboard freestyle press-ons. Once you have ordered your custom set, you are able to send a moodboard via email (setgyallery@gmail.com) for me to curate. You are able to make revisions once to the drafted sketch before the press on set is made.
Custom slots are limited, so book early!
SIZING & FIT
How do I find my nail size?
You can measure your nails using the sizing guide here.
What if my press-ons don’t fit?
Please ensure you follow the correct steps for your press on sizes. Setgyallery is not responsible for any incorrectly sized press on tips.
APPLICATION & REMOVAL
How do I apply my press-on nails for a long-lasting hold?
Start with clean, dry nails (use the alcohol pad to remove oils).
Push back cuticles and lightly buff your nails for better adhesion.
Apply a thin layer of glue to your natural nail and the press-on.
Press firmly for 10–15 seconds. Avoid water for the first hour.
For a quick, temporary wear, use adhesive tabs instead of glue.
How do I remove my press-ons safely?
For a damage-free removal:
• Soak your nails in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes.
• Gently lift the press-ons using the cuticle pusher.
• If needed, apply cuticle oil around the edges to loosen them.
Can I reuse my press-ons after removing them?
Yes! If removed gently, you can reuse them. Clean off any leftover glue and store them in the original packaging for protection.
How do I keep my press-ons looking fresh?
Avoid excessive water exposure (wear gloves for cleaning). Store them in their original packaging when not in use.
SHIPPING & PROCESSING
How long does it take to receive my order?
After confirmation (specifically for custom moodboard sets) processing time for all press-ons is 2-4 weeks depending on complexity, plus shipping. Once shipped:
• UK orders: 1-2 working days
• International orders: 5-7 working days
You’ll receive a tracking number once your order ships.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! I ship worldwide. Shipping costs and delivery times vary based on location.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?

What if my nails arrive damaged?
