FAQ – Gel Press-On Nails
What is gel? ▼A liquid resin that hardens under a UV/LED lamp into a glass-smooth, high-gloss coating. Because it cures instead of air-drying, it stays glossy, scratch-resistant, and far more durable than regular polish. |
What are gel press-ons? ▼Glowpress press-ons are built on professional Apres Gel-X tips, hand-painted with premium Korean and Japanese gels. Press them on with nail glue and get a glassy salon look in about 10 minutes—no UV lamp, no drill, no lengthy appointment needed. |
How long do they last? ▼Anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. Thorough nail prep and a generous bead of glue maximize wear time; a lighter application makes for easy weekend removal. |
How do I reuse them? ▼After removal, lightly file the glue residue off the back of each tip, wipe with acetone, and store safely. Most sets can be reapplied 2–3 times without losing their shine or structure. |
What nail size am I? ▼Every hand is different, so sizing matters. Order a sizing kit for a no-guess try-on, measure each nail in millimetres, and match your numbers to the Glowpress chart—or go fully Custom. Need help? Follow the step-by-step measuring guide. |
