FAQs

How long do press-on gel nails last?

At NSI Australia, we’re dedicated to supplying our customers with superior quality nail products that ensure a gorgeous finish and long-lasting wear. Our soft gel press-on nails will remain intact for up to four weeks, so there’s no need to fear your manicure will chip, crack or peel back after painting. For a premium quality finish, follow our step-by-step guide on how to use and apply soft gel nail tips. 

What are press-on gel nails?

Unlike acrylics that can damage your nail beds, press-on gel nails are applied to the natural nail after you’ve pushed back your cuticles, shaped your nails and applied a dehydrator and primer. To guarantee a bubble-free finish, make sure the gel tip fits your nail correctly before securing the tip using a rolling motion. Place your hands under an LED/UV nail light to maintain a good seal, and apply multiple coats of your chosen polish to guarantee you’re happy with the colour quality. 

Can I shower with press-on gel nails?

Absolutely, nails with soft gels are water-resistant and will remain in premium condition for multiple weeks. After showering or getting your manicure wet, make sure you dry them thoroughly. If your manicure is damaged after multiple weeks of wear, the best thing about gel press-on nails is that they’re straightforward to remove and reapply.

Are gel extensions better than acrylic?

It honestly depends on your preferences. Both give you those long, flawless gel nails, but they work a little differently. Gel nail extensions are super light, a bit bendy and look really natural and glossy. Acrylics are thicker and stronger, but they can feel heavier and a little more intense.

Lots of people love soft gel because it feels more like your real nails. They soak off easily, aren’t as damaging when removed properly and don’t have that strong smell during application. If you want something that looks cute, feels comfy and doesn’t take forever to remove, soft gel is your go-to!

What is the difference between soft gel and hard gel nail extensions?

Press-on soft gel nails are light, flexible and can be soaked off with acetone. Hard gel is stronger and more rigid, so it’s great for building length and strength. But it needs to be filed off instead of soaked, so removal takes a bit more time and care.

If you’re after nails that feel comfy, look natural and are easy to switch up whenever you’re in the mood, go for soft gel press-ons. If you want long-term glam with that salon-level durability, hard gel’s got your back.

How do I care for soft gel extensions?

Soft gel extensions are pretty low-maintenance, but a little TLC goes a long way. Here’s how to keep them looking cute for longer:

• Be gentle — Don’t use your nails to open cans or scrape things. Treating them like jewels, not tools will help protect your soft gel extensions and your natural nail plates from chipping and cracking.
• Hydrate daily — A few drops of cuticle oil every day keep your nails and skin nourished and help prevent lifting.
• Wear gloves — If you’re washing dishes or using cleaning products, pop on some gloves to protect your nails.
• Skip the picking — If one starts to lift, don’t peel it off. Soak it off properly with acetone or see a nail tech.
• Top it up — Add a fresh layer of top coat every week to boost shine and keep your set feeling strong.
