Short Nails 1.0

Yes, and it's the thing we're most obsessed with. With our glue, Glowie nails last up to 3 weeks through showers, washing your hair, typing and the gym. With the sticky tabs, 3 to 4 days. The secret is the prep: push back your cuticles, buff, wipe with the alcohol pad (then don't touch them!) and keep your hands out of water for 4 hours after. If one ever lifts, a dot of glue and it's back on.

Not when you take them off the right way. No drilling, no UV lamp, no acetone, and our glue is made with vitamin E. When you're ready, soak your hands in warm water with soap and a little oil for 10 to 15 minutes and they'll lift off with a gentle nudge. The only rule: never pull or force them off. Still stuck? Soak a little longer. Lots of our girls use Glowie to give their nails a break after acrylics.

Honestly, the thing we hear most is "nobody believed me". Our patented mould sits flush against your cuticle like a salon set, the higher apex gives a natural curve instead of that flat plastic look, and the glue disappears underneath so they look like gel. Every nail has a double UV top coat for that glossy salon finish.

A gel set at the salon is $80+ and an hour of your time, every few weeks. Glowie goes on in about 10 minutes at home, lasts up to 3 weeks and is reusable, so one set can be a few manis. If you want more than one design, a Starter Kit takes up to 35% off.

They're made from 6 layers of pre-cured gel, so they're strong but still flexible. That's why they don't feel like the thin, flimsy press-ons you've tried before. Treat them like real nails though: type with your finger pads, wear gloves with harsh chemicals and don't use them to open cans.

Every set comes with up to 32 nails in 16 sizes, so there's a fit for every finger. Hold each nail over your nail bed: it should cover side to side without digging into your skin or going past your cuticle. In between sizes? Go one size up and file the sides. You can also clip and file the length and shape so they're totally yours.

Not at all, even if you've never done press-ons before. It takes about 10 minutes and everything you need is in the box: glue, sticky tabs, a nail file and an alcohol pad. Prep, size, glue, press and hold. No lamp, no curing, no salon. There's a step-by-step guide in every kit, and you can message us any time for video tutorials.

Go for our hypoallergenic sticky tabs instead of glue. They're gentle and perfect for a few days of wear. Our gel nails are also HEMA, TPO and 18-free. If you've reacted to nail products before, do a quick patch test first.
