 What makes Editory press-on nails different?

Each set is hand-painted and designed as wearable art. Inspired by editorial fashion, architecture, and modern design, our nails go beyond beauty—they are curated pieces created with precision, texture, and intention.

Yes — and we take this seriously.

Every Editory set is crafted from PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) — a premium-grade acrylic material celebrated for its exceptional clarity, strength, and purity. Widely recognized as one of the highest quality materials in professional nail artistry, it is gentle on your natural nails and built to last. Our nail gels are sourced from trusted, reputable brands — carefully selected to meet our standards for quality and safety.

Every set comes with our own adhesive tabs — a clean, residue-free option that provides a secure hold while being kind to your natural nails. For everyday and short-term wear, we always recommend starting with our included tabs.

If you prefer a stronger, longer-lasting bond, nail glue is a great option. We don't sell glue directly, but we recommend UV solid glue, available on Amazon and at most beauty retailers. If you opt for a different glue, please ensure it is from a reputable brand and formulated specifically for press-on nails.

When applied and removed with care, our press-on nails will not compromise your natural nails. We always recommend following our removal guide to keep your nails healthy and beautiful between sets.

How to Release Your Press-On Nails

Start by measuring the widest part of each nail in millimeters. Match your measurements to our XS–S–M–L size chart, and when you're between two sizes, always size up — your included nail file will do the rest.

The Fit Guide

Start with clean, dry, oil-free nails. Apply your adhesive tab or nail glue to your natural nail, press down from the cuticle edge, and hold firmly for 10–15 seconds. Avoid water for at least one hour after application.

Full Application Guide

Wear time depends on your application method:

  • Adhesive tabs: 3–7 days (ideal for events or short-term wear)
  • Nail glue: up to 2 weeks with proper care

Our sets are designed for both flexibility and durability, adapting to your lifestyle.

Never pull or peel. Soak your fingertips in warm, soapy water for 10–15 minutes, then gently lift from the side using a wooden cuticle stick. If they don't release easily, soak a little longer.

Full Release Guide

Yes. With proper removal and care, your nails can be worn multiple times—especially when using adhesive tabs. Each set is crafted to maintain its structure and finish over repeated use.
