If you want to reuse your press-on nails without eliminating nail glue residue, then adhesive tabs are the ideal choice. They provide a simple peel-off removal, which is especially helpful if you don't have a nail drill set. Although removing glued nails is a simple procedure, it can be time-consuming. If you prefer to wear them for a more extended period, consider using nail glue instead, as it is much more durable.

Which lasts longer?

If you want to prolong the lifespan of your press-ons, there are a few important factors to keep in mind:


  • Proper preparation of your natural nails before application

  • Choosing the right length of press-ons for your lifestyle – for example, if you work with your hands a lot, you may want to consider shorter nails

  • Selecting the right adhesive for your needs


If you're using nail tabs, you can expect to wear your press-ons for several days, or even just a few hours for a special event. However, with nail glue and proper application, you can enjoy your nails for up to 3-4 weeks. Follow the application instructions provided with every Stay Qlassy order for the best results.


Tips to Prevent Press-On Pop Off:

  • Follow the nail prep instructions that come with your order to ensure that your press-ons will last.

  • For better adhesion, consider using a Nail Dehydrator or Primer. These are similar to the products used by nail technicians before applying gel or acrylic nails.

  • Use a combination of adhesive tabs and nail glue for optimal hold.


Wondering whether to use Nail Glue or Adhesive Tabs? The answer depends on how long you want your press-ons to last.


For a few hours to a few days, use nail tabs.

For 3-4 weeks, use nail glue.
