Two things usually go wrong: the fit and the prep.
Most press-ons are one-size-fits-all — which means they don't actually fit, and a nail that doesn't sit flush starts lifting immediately. With Solira, you have options to make sure the nails actually fit — whether that's trying all sizes, sending a photo, or using the sizing kit.
The other thing people skip is prep — clean, dry, oil-free nails before you apply. That step makes or breaks everything. Do both and 2–3 weeks of wear is completely normal. I wear my own sets through workouts, dishes, and real life, and I test every set before it leaves. These stay on.
You've got three options:
• Choose to receive two of each size 0–11 in your set so you can try them all — no measuring, nothing to figure out beforehand.
• Take a photo of each finger next to a coin and email it to me — I'll size you from the photo and send only your sizes.
• Order a $10 sizing kit, find your sizes at home, send them back to me, and I'll make your set. This option takes a little longer since the kit needs to ship to you first — but that $10 comes off your order.
Not sure which option is right for you? Just ask. I'm happy to help you figure it out.
Prep first: push back cuticles, lightly buff to remove shine, then wipe with rubbing alcohol. This is the step most people skip and it's why most press-ons fall off early. Then apply nail glue to both your natural nail and the press-on for maximum hold. Press the nail down starting at your cuticle line, hold firmly for 30 seconds, then done. Try not to get them wet for at least an hour after — the glue needs time to fully cure. My trick is to do them at night. Face is already washed, or I just use a wipe. Then I'm resting and sleeping while the glue sets. You wake up and they're perfect. Nail glue, cuticle pusher, and a full application guide are all included in your kit.
Honestly? Mine last 2–3 weeks and I'm not gentle with them. I work out, wash dishes, chase my kid around — I even wore a set through an entire 8-day cruise with zero issues. These are built for real life, not just Instagram. The only thing that'll shorten your wear is a really long soak, like a hot tub or extended pool time. Regular showers, sweat, normal life? You're fine. The biggest thing you can do to make them last is start with clean, dry, oil-free nails before you apply. Wear them through everything. They're made for your real life, not just the fifteen minutes you put them on.
First, use the included cuticle pusher to gently break the seal around the edges — that's the step everyone skips and it makes all the difference. Then soak your fingertips in warm soapy water for 10–15 minutes and they slide right off. No ripping, no acetone, no drama. Your natural nails will thank you. Hot tip: put on your favorite show or queue up your favorite TikToks and enjoy the me time.
Yep, you can get 2–3 wears out of a set. After you take them off, clean any residue off and store them flat — the box they came in works perfectly. That's it. They're ready for next time.

Yes — and this is one of the most beautiful things I get to work on. Your whole bridal party can have coordinating sets: the same design, matching colors, or the same vibe done a little differently for each person. It's one more thing that's planned and pulled together, and honestly the nails photograph beautifully. They're also a gorgeous bridal party gift — I'll make sure everything is packaged and ready to give. And yes, these absolutely hold up through a full wedding day. Reach out and tell me your vision. I'll make it happen.
Yes — and honestly it's one of my favorite things to do. I pack up my gear and come to you. Birthday parties, girls' nights, wine nights, sip and shops, bridal parties — whatever you're celebrating, I set up on-site and make nails right there. Everyone picks their vibe and I get to work. If the group is big and I don't get to everyone, I finish their set and mail it straight to them. Reach out through the contact page and tell me about your event — group size, date, occasion — and we'll make it happen.
Custom orders are non-refundable once I start making them — they're literally made for your hands. That said, if something isn't right I will always make it right. Just reach out. I'd rather fix it than have you unhappy.
Store them flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The included box works great for this. Avoid getting them wet during storage.
