Press-on nails coming from the factory are homogeneous; they often have unnatural colors; their textures are monotone; their patterns are mundane; simply put, they lack creativity. 100% handmade nails conserves the warmth of a palm; Many designs are only achievable with the dexterity of human hands. Even if the design is identical, hand crafting allows variations - If you look close enough, you'll notice slight difference in color, texture and placements - evidence of our artists putting in a lot of efforts to make them unique for YOU. In an increasingly boring world, a pair of handmade nails is part of your identity - it shows you're a woman of taste and are not willing to settle for anything less. Besides, you get to support a community of artists and a small business!
Lucky Cat's really go extra miles to know our artists in person, so as to foster trusting relationship. We see them as families who need help selling overseas. This is in Lucky Cat's gene as our first artist is the founder's sister. We truly believe such culture is our core competitiveness, allowing us to offer products of superior quality, but at the same time, keeping the price low. We have studied the Toronto market and can confidently say our competitors do not offer nails of the same quality and often over-price their products.

The answer is YES! While jelly stickers can only last for 7-10 days, you can always re-apply them after they wore off. Nail glues are trickier to clean up; so if you want your nails to last longer, jelly stickers are preferred. Make sure to save the press-on nails in the collector box so you don't lose them. If you take care of them and wear/remove them correctly, they'll last very long. Check out "How to wear press-on nails?" and "How to remove press-on nails" for better maintenance.
Truth is, even if the press-on nails are slightly bigger than your nail bed, you can make them fit by polishing them with the polisher in the tool kit. Wearing press-on nails is not an exact science, so as long as they stick you should be fine.
A general rule of thumb is anyone over 16 can use M, anyone below 16 can use S; A pair of right-sized press-on nails should cover your nail bed to look natural, but at the same time not too big such that they have trouble sticking.
But if you're really worried, send us your measurements and we'll provide a recommendation. Or have your nails customized! Here is a tutorial for how to measure your nails:
Here is a table for your reference:
Width (mm) | Thumb | Index | Middle | Ring | Pinky |
Size | | | | | |
S | 15.7 | 12.2 | 12.5 | 12.2 | 9.5 |
M | 17 | 12.5 | 13 | 12.5 | 11 |
L | 18.5 | 13 | 14 | 13.5 | 11.8 |
* Note: sizes can still vary slightly depending on the base we use - they may come from different suppliers.
Jelly stickers and nail glue are both used to put on press-on nails. Using correctly, jelly stickers will keep your nails on for 7-10 days; while nail glue will make them stick for 14-21 days. If you are new to press-on nails, we recommend jelly stickers as they are easier to remove fully. They will also make your nails last longer if you're looking to reuse them. You can use nail glue if you're fully committed to your favorite pair. You DON'T need them both. Tutorials can be found under "How to wear press-on nails".
Every pair of press-on nails come with a collector box and a small tool kit containing all the tools you need to put on, maintain and remove your nails - including jelly stickers. If you run out of stickers, contact us or come in person - we'll give you more for FREE. For frequent users, collector boxes and tool kits are available in our store for a very reasonable price.
