Deer and Snow Press-On Nails, Square Short

Deer and Snow, cut on square in a short length. A clean square edge, filed flat with the corners taken off just enough to stop them catching.

A short square shape

The square finish keeps the free edge crisp, which is why every graphic design in the collection is cut on it. Short enough to forget you are wearing them, which is the point.

Ten minutes on, two weeks of wear

Two weeks is the realistic wear window when the prep is done properly. The design is moulded into the tip rather than painted on top, so there is no lacquer layer to chip. What ends a set is the bond underneath, which is why the prep step matters more than anything else.

Twelve sizes in every set

Every set carries twelve sizes across twenty four nails. Size both hands dry before any adhesive goes on. This set does not include glue. It is sold separately here, and it is free with any three sets.

How to apply

1. Prep. Wipe with the prep pad, push the cuticle back and buff the shine off. Thirty seconds a hand, and it is what buys you the second week.
2. Size. Lay the nails out and match every finger dry before any adhesive.
3. Press. Brush a thin line of nail glue down the centre of your nail, or use an adhesive tab. Press down for thirty seconds.
4. Go. Around two weeks of wear. To remove, soak in warm soapy water for five minutes and ease the nail off with a cuticle stick.
