Floral and 3D Art Press-On Nails

14 sets in total. By shape, 12 almond and 2 square. By length, 8 long, 4 medium and 2 short. Every set contains ten nails, five per hand, pre-arranged and labelled left and right, in sizes XS, S and M. Applied in about five minutes and worn 3 to 5 days with adhesive tabs, or up to 14 days with nail glue.

Raised details need a little more care at removal. Soak, then lift from the side with a wooden stick. Never pull from the tip, which is where the 3D work is attached.

Every petal on a 3D floral press-on nails set is sculpted and placed by hand rather than printed onto the surface. Hold one at an angle and you can see the shadow the petal casts — that shadow is the whole difference between this and a printed floral, and it is why these take longer to make and sell out sooner.

Sculpted detail sits above the nail, so it meets the world first. Reach into a bag with the flat of your hand rather than your fingertips, and take the set off before any task that involves gripping something rough. If a petal does catch, do not pull it — a drop of glue at the base and thirty seconds of pressure sets it back.

Raised floral reads beautifully in photographs and at conversation distance, which makes it a natural choice for engagements, graduations and Eid. It is a poor choice for a week of typing. If you want floral you can live in, look at the printed and french-tip collections instead, and keep the sculpted sets for the days that deserve them.
