Real Talk
I bought these because I wanted pretty nails without the salon faff. I’m Sarah from Melbourne and I run the Shopqaq blog. I reckon these are a proper win.
The set is called 2024 Latest Collection | Handcrafted Press-On Nails – Crystal Butterfly, Rose Flower, Mid-Length with Sparkling Gems. The design is gorgeous. Crystal butterflies. Tiny rose details. Mid-length that isn’t aggressive. Sparkling gems that actually sit flat and don’t snag my hair.
Huge plus: Handmade in Australia. That matters. The finish and placement of the gems feel careful. You can tell someone took their time. It doesn’t scream mass-produced rubbish.
Compared to salon or store-bought acrylics? I’ll be blunt. These look as polished as my salon sets. They’re lighter than acrylic. Less chemical smell. Less damage if you remove them properly. Salon quality without the appointment or the hefty price tag. Reckon they’re a great cheat for when you want something stunning quick.
How I used them
I prepped my nails. Filed, buffed, wiped with alcohol. Used the sticky tabs that came with the pack and the little tube of glue for my ring fingers (I like extra hold there). Pressed on for 30 seconds each. Walked out the door feeling fancy.
Comfort & fit
Fit was mostly great. A couple were slightly wider than my nail bed. I filed the sides a smidge. They’re mid-length so I could still type and make coffee without freaking out. After a day they felt like mine.
Durability
I wore them to brunch, a wedding and a beach walk. No gems lost. No lifting for about 10 days. I reckon with proper glue you can comfortably get 10–14 days, depending on how rough you are on your hands.
Would I buy again?
Yes. For date nights, events, or when I don’t want to sit in a salon. They give a salon finish with way less drama. And I love that they’re handmade locally. Feels good supporting Aussie makers.

FAQ
How long does it last?
I got about 10–14 days. If you’re careful with prep, use decent glue or tabs, and avoid heavy water exposure, you might push to two weeks. If you’re a gardener or do heaps of dishes without gloves, expect less time.
Is it waterproof?
Yes for washing hands and showers. But don’t soak them in water for ages. Prolonged soaking can lift the glue and loosen gems. Treat them like your nice shoes — comfy, but not for mud wrestling.
