FAQ'S

How To Order

Orders open every Monday at 9am EST! There is a limited quantity of design-level spots per week. Once orders are filled for the week, orders are closed until the following Monday. Before purchasing a custom set on my website you MUST first message me directly on Instagram with the following information: sizes, design request, nail shape/length, and your base color preference. You can refer to my "How To Order'' post on Instagram @arturanails for a more detailed explanation. You can purchase a sizing kit in the length and shape of your choosing at any time, no need to message me first.


What Are My Sizes? 

Check out my sizing guide on Instagram, @arturanails which you can follow for certain shapes. Make sure to size on bare natural nails. If you are in between sizes make sure to size up. However, SIZING KITS are required for most shapes, and MUST be purchased before ordering your custom nail set! Feel free to directly message me on Instagram, I am always happy to assist.

 

How Do I Apply My press-ons?

With every purchase, there are detailed instructions on how to properly prep and apply your custom press on nails. With your order, you will receive two methods of application, liquid glue and glue tabs. The liquid glue is meant to last 14+ days while the glue tabs are better suited for temporary wear. 


How Do I Remove My press-ons?

Depending on how well you prep and apply your nails, removing them before a week may require more time soaking. In a bowl mix together hot water, and a good amount of oil, then proceed to soak your nails for at least 15 minutes. With the cuticle stick provided in your order, safely slide around the edges of your nail, gently lifting. It should come off easily, if not continue to soak. Reheat the water as many times as necessary. The better you remove your press-ons the more uses you'll get out of them! There is a more detailed explanation on my Instagram @arturanails

 

How Durable Are The Nails?

I use Aprés Gel-X, which is made of 100% soft gel, no plastic! These nails are superior quality and extremely durable. All designs are made with UV gels and top coated with UV gel as well for maximum strength and wear.

 

Are The Nails Reusable?

Yes! My custom soft gel nails are completely reusable. This does depend however on proper application and removal. You can reuse the same set of nails 3-5+ times. If you purchase more than one order I suggest mixing and matching your nails to create a new set!

 

Why These press-ons Over Cheaper Alternatives? 

Unlike drugstore press-ons, Artura Nails are made from 100% soft gel material which promotes long-term wear. The biggest difference between Artura Nails press-ons and cheaper alternatives is the reusability aspect. This means you're getting "More Bang For Your Buck'' in the long run.

 

What Shapes and Lengths Do You Provide?

I currently only provide the Almond shape in the sizes below. However, more sizes and shapes will be available later.

  • XX-Small
  • Extra Small
  • Small
  • Medium

 

What Can Affect The Wear Of My Nails?

Many factors can play a part in how long your press-ons last. It all starts with sizing! Accurate sizing is the only way to ensure the best wear time. Next, it's prep and application. Are you taking the time to properly prep and follow the application process? Another important factor to consider is your lifestyle, did you choose a nail length that correlates with your daily routine? Last but certainly not least, nails are not tools! Do not treat them as such. Protect them against chemicals and during any labor-intensive task.
