We will guide you, in a few simple steps.

The magical little guide to press-on nails
Everything you need to master these little jewels that are applied to your fingertips.
At Soimea, we have a very simple philosophy:
press-on nails are portable beauty that you can apply with your fingertips.
Like lipstick applied before going out, capable of changing an entire look.
Our press-on nails are exactly that little bit of magic.
That's why we've designed a simple, comfortable, and quick application and removal process.
So let's go: in a few minutes, you'll have a complete manicure.
How to apply?
You'll need: your Soimea box + a glass of lukewarm water
Time: 5 minutes
Step 1: Prepare your nails
If you want: trim a little, wash, dry.
Then, using the file included in the box, lightly buff the nail surface, and clean it with the alcohol wipe included in the package.
Step 2: Choose the right size
Each box contains 24 press-on nails + 24 adhesive gels on kraft paper, all in different sizes. Take them out, compare them to your natural nails, and find the perfect combination for each finger.
*Quick memo:
distinguish clearly between the front and back of the press-on nail. Especially for short models: inside, the edge near the cuticle is thinner (to naturally hug the skin), while the front is a little thicker to guarantee comfort and solidity in everyday life.
Step 3: Apply
Stick the adhesive gels onto your natural nails, remove the film, then apply the press-on nail from the base, slightly tilted.
Massage, press for 15 to 30 seconds.
And there you have it!
If you're in a hurry:
You can simply clean your nails with the alcohol wipe (shortened Step 1).
It will be less durable: so avoid forcing your nails. No stuck bottle caps or cans to open superhero-style!
If you want a stronger hold:
Avoid water, oil, or chemicals for 4 hours.
Then, we prefer to warn you: swimming pool, bath, sauna... It's possible, but it reduces adhesion.
The strongest hold?
Apply just before sleeping.
You'll wake up with beautiful, perfectly set nails.
But, to preserve your natural nails (they need to breathe too!), even if everything is very well glued, we recommend removing them after 7 days. If removed correctly, you can reuse them again and again.
This routine is already much faster (and much cheaper!) than a salon appointment.
So let's take our time: we put them on to shine, and we take them off to pamper ourselves!!
Frequently asked questions
How to apply Soimea press-on nails?
Application is quick and easy: prepare your natural nail with the provided file and alcohol wipe, choose the correct size from the 24 press-on nails included, stick on the adhesive gel, then apply the press-on nail from the base, pressing for 15 to 30 seconds. A full manicure takes about 5 minutes.
What do I need to apply press-on nails?
No additional tools are needed. Your Soimea box contains all the materials: 24 press-on nails, 24 adhesive gels, a file, and an alcohol wipe. A glass of lukewarm water can also be useful.
How to choose the right size of press-on nails?
Each box contains press-on nails of various sizes. Compare them to your natural nails before application to find the ideal combination for each finger. Be careful to distinguish between the front and back of the press-on nail: the edge near the cuticle is thinner to adapt naturally to the skin.
How long do Soimea press-on nails last?
With careful application, Soimea press-on nails last up to 7 days. For optimal hold, avoid water, oil, and chemicals for the first 4 hours after application.
Are press-on nails waterproof?
Press-on nails can be worn daily with water, but prolonged swimming, bathing, or sauna use will reduce their adhesion. To maximize wear time, it is advisable to limit exposure to water during the first few days.
What's the trick for even longer wear?
The Soimea tip: apply just before sleeping. Without contact with water or the friction of the day, the adhesive gels have time to set perfectly. You'll wake up with a flawless manicure.
Can press-on nails be reused?
Yes, Soimea press-on nails are reusable. Simply remove them correctly and store them after use. To preserve your natural nails, it is recommended not to wear them for more than 7 consecutive days.
Do press-on nails damage natural nails?
No, provided that the application and removal steps are followed. Soimea adhesive gels are designed to protect the natural nail. Removing press-on nails correctly and allowing your nails to breathe between each application is enough to keep them healthy.
