Application & Wear
How long does application take?
Studio Velora press-on nails can be applied in around 7 minutes.
Application time may vary slightly depending on how quickly you size, prepare and apply each nail.
How do I apply my press-on nails?
For the best result:
- Wash and dry your hands.
- Gently push back your cuticles if needed.
- Clean each natural nail with a prep pad.
- Choose the best-fitting press-on nail for each finger.
- Apply the adhesive tab or nail glue.
- Press the nail firmly onto your natural nail.
- Hold for a few seconds to secure.
Avoid rushing the preparation step, as clean and dry nails help improve wear.
Do I need to prepare my natural nails first?
Yes. Preparation is important.
Your natural nails should be clean, dry and free from oils, lotion or residue before application. Each order includes 20 complimentary prep pads to help with this step.
Can I use adhesive tabs?
Yes. Each Studio Velora press-on nail set includes adhesive tabs.
They are a simple option for applying your nails at home and are especially useful when you want an easy, flexible application.
Can I use nail glue instead?
Yes. Studio Velora press-on nails can also be applied with nail glue.
Nail glue is not included in each set, but it may be available separately or as part of an accessory kit depending on the products offered at the time.
How long should I press each nail during application?
Press each nail firmly for around 10–15 seconds.
Make sure the nail is aligned properly before pressing down, then apply even pressure across the full nail for a secure fit.
Should I avoid water after applying them?
Yes. For best results, avoid water, steam, oils and heavy hand cream for at least 1 hour after application.
This helps the adhesive bond more effectively and can improve overall wear.
How long do Studio Velora nails last?
Wear time can vary depending on your nail prep, application method, natural nail type and daily activity.
As a general guide, adhesive tabs are best for flexible or shorter-term wear, while nail glue may offer longer wear when applied correctly.
Can I shower, wash my hands or exercise while wearing them?
Yes. You can wash your hands, shower and exercise while wearing Studio Velora nails.
To help them last longer, avoid prolonged soaking, excessive pressure and repeated exposure to oils or harsh products.
What can affect how long they stay on?
Several factors can affect wear time, including:
- how well your natural nails are prepared
- whether your nails are clean and dry before application
- the adhesive method used
- exposure to water, oils or lotions
- your natural nail shape
- daily activity and pressure on the nails
Careful prep and gentle wear will help you get the best result.
