FAQs

Everything you need to know before your first set, and after it.

How do I choose my size before ordering?

Measure the widest point of each natural nail in millimetres and compare against our size guide. If you fall between sizes, choose the larger size; the sides can be shaped with a standard nail file for a precise fit.

What if the nails don't fit me?

Every kit includes 30 nails in graduated sizes, giving you full coverage across both hands with spares in the sizes you use most. If a size sits between two options, choose the larger one; the sides can be shaped with a standard nail file for a precise fit. The file included in your kit is for refining the nail tip and smoothing the free edge.

How long do de blinkie press-ons last?

Applied with nail glue, up to 14 days of wear. Adhesive tabs are the temporary option, designed for quick application, easy removal and changing your look between wears. Preparation makes the difference: clean, dry nails with cuticles gently pushed back will always outlast a rushed application. Every kit includes what you need to apply properly.

Glue or adhesive tabs, which should I use?

Glue for maximum wear time. Adhesive tabs for flexibility: they apply in seconds, remove cleanly without soaking, and keep your nails in the best condition for their next wear. Both come in every kit, so the choice is yours each time.

I've never applied press-ons before. Is it hard?

Not at all. Your first full set takes around 15 minutes, and once you've applied a set or two, closer to 10. Each kit includes nail glue, adhesive tabs, a nail file, a cuticle stick and an alcohol wipe. Everything you need is in the box. See our step-by-step application guide.

Can I reuse my de blinkie nails?

Yes. Sets applied with adhesive tabs can be worn again. Remove them gently, clean away any residue and store them in the original box between wears.

Will they survive showers, typing and the gym?

Yes. Applied properly with glue, de blinkie nails hold up to everyday life: typing, cooking, the gym and a normal shower. Water is the main thing that shortens wear, so keep showers short, pat your hands dry, and wear gloves for washing up or cleaning. Doing these small things is what takes a set from a few days to the full two weeks.

Do de blinkie nails look fake?

Not the way old press-ons did. Each nail has a slim profile and a curved fit that sits flush against your natural nail, with a salon-grade finish. Choosing the right size for each finger is what makes the difference: a nail that fits the width of your nail bed reads as a real manicure, close up and in photos.

Can I apply them the night before an event?

Yes, and it is the best time to do it. Applying with glue the night before gives the bond hours to set undisturbed while you sleep, with no water or knocks in the first few hours. You wake up to a finished set and get the most wear out of it. For something last minute, adhesive tabs are ready in seconds.

What's the difference between the X and Max collections?

The X Collection is lightweight with a sleek, streamlined fit for everyday wear. The Max Collection has a curved soft-gel fit and a more elevated finish for your most polished moments. Because the two are sized differently, check the size guide for the collection you are buying, since your best size in one may not be identical in the other.

Why press-ons instead of the salon?

The shape, the gloss and the detail of a salon set, applied at home in around 10 minutes. No appointment, no hours in the chair, and no drilling or soak-off damage when you are ready for a new look. Salon-quality nails, on your schedule.
