How they work + what to expect:
Your nails are applied using professional nail glue, making them durable, lightweight, and reusable. With proper prep and care most sets last 1–2+ weeks & longevity depends on prep, lifestyle, and how gently they’re removed. Treat them kindly and they’ll love you back.
Every order arrives in a storage box, ready to go, including a full application kit:
• Nail glue
• Mini buffer & file
• Prep wipe
• Cuticle stick
• Step-by-step application & removal guide
• Candy for the bad gals
Everything you need with no extras required. Application instructions are featured in the press on section of the Bad Gal website alongside removal and aftercare steps.
Sizing + reordering:
For custom press-on sets, accurate sizing is essential. Incorrect sizing is the main reason press-ons don’t last, so a sizing kit is strongly recommended for first-time clients.
Once I’ve got your sizes saved, you can reorder any design in the future without purchasing another sizing kit (unless your natural nails change or you switch shape/length). If you choose a different shape or length, you will need to resize using the correct kit. Contrary shapes sit on the nail differently and longer lengths often change the width and fit at the sidewalls, so your original sizes might not be as precise. Resizing helps ensure your new set fits just as snug and secure.
Easy, seamless, done.

CUSTOM PRESS-ON NAIL SETS
-
Make sure nails are bare and free from any product, as this will compromise adhesion and result in incorrect measurements.
-
Apply a sizing kit nail to each finger and find a snug, flush fit
-
The nail should sit sidewall-to-sidewall without any pressure, no pushing/force!
-
Record the number written on the back of the nail for that specific finger (0–11)
-
Repeat for both hands (fingers are often different sizes)
-
Tip: If you’re between sizes, choose the larger size. I can file down for a perfect fit. Please note this on your sizing form! :)
