About your Mood Nails

Why press-ons?

There are many reasons why you should do the swap. If you haven't tried them before, here are some reasons why press-on's are amazing!

  1. Reusable with proper love and care.
  2. Convenient and portable.
  3. Affordable - they're much cheaper than getting nails done at the salon.
  4. No damage (follow our removal tutorial closely).
  5. Customisable to your desired shape and length.
  6. Allows your natural nails to grow out healthy.
  7. It saves you time. No more sitting still for hours at nail salons.
  8. No exposure to toxins and chemicals in the salon.
  9. Nail emergency - no need to book in with your nail tech, just fix your nails yourself at home in 3 minutes.
What makes Mood different?

Not all press-ons are created equal. Mood Nails are designed with salon-level shape, durability, and comfort in mind — no flimsy plastic, awkward fits, or obvious fake-nail look. Just high-quality sets that feel secure, look seamless, and actually last. Our press-ons are made from 100% soft acrylic with a gel finish to achieve a salon-done look.

What's included and what else do I need?

Each set comes with everything you need: 30 nails in 15 sizes to ensure all different nail bed sizes are covered, nail glue, adhesive tabs, a nail file, cuticle stick, and 2 alcohol wipes — everything you need for an easy at-home mani.

Every pack comes with enough glue for 2–3 wears, but our customers love adding our Brush-On Nail Glue for an even quicker, mess-free application or the Magic Remover Oil that makes removing your glued on nails a breeze - however it is not a requirement.

How can I remove my press-ons?

Removal is very easy. You can find our step-by-step guide here.

How long do the nails last?

Temporary Wear (up to 3–5 days): Use Adhesive Tabs

Perfect for short-term wear, weekends away, events, or commitment-free manis. Our adhesive tabs have a strong hold while still being easy to remove when you're ready to switch sets.

Extended Wear (up to 2–3 weeks): Use Nail Glue

For long-lasting wear, our nail glue delivers a secure, salon-style hold designed to keep up with everyday life. If you’re after maximum durability, glue is your best option — just be ready for a longer commitment.

Please note: Wear time can vary depending on your lifestyle, nail prep, and application. For the best results and longest hold, follow our prep and application steps carefully — they make all the difference.

Are Mood Nails reusable?

Yes! Our nails can be reused 1-2 times with glue, if the residue is removed from the back of the nails. With sticky tabs you can get even more wear out of them.

Can I shower or swim in them?

Yes — you can absolutely shower, swim, and live your everyday life in your press-ons. When applied properly, our nails are designed to stay secure through daily wear, from beach days to everything showers. For the best longevity, we recommend avoiding excessive water exposure in the first few hours after application. Once the edges start lifting water can penetrate the glue and the nails could start coming off. So make sure you press the edges down firmly when glueing the press-ons on.

Will you have my size in the set?

Absolutely! We send 15 sizes in one set (times 2, so 30 nails total) so this will covers all nail bed sizes from very small to wider.

Are press-ons for me?

Press-ons are perfect for you if:

  1. You're not allowed to wear nails to work. Simply use our temporary sticky tabs and remove them after 2-4 days of use.
  2. You want something sustainable and don't want the commitment to a nail appointment every 3-4 weeks.
  3. You have damaged/weak nails from getting your nails done. Using sticky tabs is the best way to get your nail health back.
  4. You're looking to find something that helps prevent you from biting your nails.
  5. You get bored easily from having the same style/colour for a whole month.
  6. You want to match nails to outfits or for special events.
