I'm Sarah. I'm 27 and live in Melbourne. I tried these press-ons for a week straight. Honest thoughts below.

Real Talk

These are false nails. Pretty ones. Cute butterfly art with a sweet-but-edgy vibe. They arrived in a neat kit with sizes, glue tabs, adhesive and a tiny buffer. Big plus: Handmade in Australia. That actually matters. The finish felt boutique, not mass-produced.

I wear a lot of salon gels. So I compared them side-by-side. Salon nails feel a touch thicker. These press-ons are lighter. But the shine and detail? Nearly salon-grade. No joke. For daily wear they look stunning. For photos they pass with flying colours. For rough gardening or heavy dish duty, expect less longevity than a pro gel fill.

I reckon these are perfect for people who want easy, on-the-go glam. Hop to an event. Switch up your look. No appointment needed. Also, as a local product, shipping was fast within Australia. Love supporting local makers.

Pros & Cons

  • Pro: Looks very high-quality. Photo-ready.
  • Pro: Handmade in Australia — support local talent.
  • Pro: Comfortable and lightweight. Easy to wear all day.
  • Pro: Lasts up to 2 weeks with careful wear.
  • Con: Needs careful removal. Don’t rip them off.
  • Con: Glue can be fiddly if you’re rushed.
  • Con: Limited to the shapes they send. If you want coffin stiletto, might not suit.

I used the adhesive and also tried the glue tabs. Tabs were perfect for a quick night out. Glue held better for real life. If you’re clumsy like me, glue is the move.

FAQ

How long does it last?
With glue and normal daily wear I got up to 10–14 days. Tabs are great for 2–4 days if you just want a temporary look. If you wash dishes without gloves every day, expect less time.

Is it waterproof?
Yes-ish. The nails themselves are water-resistant. The adhesive is the weak link. Short showers and hand-washing are fine. Long baths, heavy scrubbing or constant soaking will shorten the wear. Use glue for the most water resistance.

Final thought: I reckon these are a heap of fun. Quick glam, cute design, and honestly feel like a boutique salon set without the booking stress. If you want pretty nails without the faff, try them.
