One of the most common concerns about press-on nails is whether they can damage your natural nails. The good news is that, when used properly, press-on nails are actually a much gentler option compared to other types of manicures like acrylics or gels. Here’s why:
- No Harsh Chemicals
Unlike acrylic nails, which require a mixture of liquid monomer and powder polymer that can weaken your natural nails, press-on nails don't require any harsh chemicals. This makes them a safer option, especially for those with sensitive or brittle nails.
- Less Abrasive Application
Applying press-on nails doesn’t require filing down your natural nails to create a rough surface for better adhesion, as is the case with acrylics. Instead, a light buffing is all that’s needed to help the adhesive stick. This means less stress on your nails, preserving their natural strength and health.
- Easy and Gentle Removal
The removal process for press-on nails is gentle and doesn’t involve soaking your nails in acetone, which can dry them out and cause brittleness. By using warm water and a gentle lifting technique, you can easily remove the press-ons without causing any damage to your natural nails.
- Breathable Option
Press-on nails allow your natural nails to "breathe" between applications. Since they can be easily removed, you can take breaks between uses to nourish your natural nails with cuticle oil and moisturizers, helping to maintain their health. All of Secure The Nails press-ons are made with high quality materials that allow your natural nail beds to “breathe” when wearing the press-on nails.
- Custom Fit for Less Pressure
Many press-on nail brands offer customizable sizes that fit your natural nails perfectly. This means there’s no excess pressure or squeezing on your nail beds, reducing the risk of damage. A proper fit ensures that the press-on nails don’t tug at your natural nails, preventing splitting or peeling. Just like a piece of clothing, press-on nails come with different sizes.
