Handmade, not mass-produced
The Hue Handmade Difference
Most press-ons are mass-produced from ABS plastic and spray-printed. They look flat, pop off easily and rarely last more than one wear.
Every Hue set is made entirely by hand by our nail artists, taking 4–6 hours each. A luxury salon finish, without the salon price or time.
Mass-produced press-ons
- Machine-made from thin ABS plastic
- Spray-printed, flat and plasticky
- Pop off easily, rarely reusable
- 30 generic sizes that rarely fit
Hue, made by hand
- Handmade by nail artists, 4–6 hours per set
- Salon-grade PMMA acrylic and premium gel
- Up to 4 weeks' wear, made to be reused
- Sized XS–L for a natural fit
Made by hand, one nail at a time

Here's why girlies are ditching the salon and machine-made press-ons for Hue

“Best press-on nails EVER”
“It clearly shows that each detail has been put onto each nail with such precision and intention! It literally took me 5 mins to put them on and I love how they look like they've been professionally done at the salon.”

“My favourite set I've worn this year”
“They're so cute and didn't fall off or get lost at all so I'm very excited to rewear them. They make me feel so much cooler and really complete any outfit!”

“Everyone is shocked they're press-ons”
“Everyone is always so shocked that they're press ons because they're such incredible quality. They've been on for almost 2 weeks and aren't showing any signs of coming off anytime soon!”

“Lasted longer than I expected”
“I was always skeptical of press-ons because I used to get my nails done at the salon. You can tell they've been crafted by hand, application was easy and they lasted longer than I expected.”

“Can't convince me to go back to the salon”
“Love and obsessed and you can't convince me to go back to the salon.”

“The quality is high end”
“This is my first set from Hue Nails and I absolutely love them! The quality is high end and they were so easy to apply. I got a size small and they fit the majority of my nails perfectly.”

FAQ
Your questions, answered
The questions we get asked most. See the full list of FAQs here.
How long do they last?
With nail glue, 2–3 weeks, and up to 4 weeks with good prep and care. With sticky tabs, from 1 day up to 2 weeks: wear them for just one day for a special occasion, or up to 2 weeks with proper prep and care.
How do I apply and remove them?
Prep your nails, choose glue or sticky tabs, then press each nail for 15–30 seconds. To remove, soak in warm soapy water and lift gently from the sides. Never force them off. See the full step-by-step tutorial with videos.
How do I find my size?
Measure your nails with our size guide before you buy. Between sizes? Size up. And if your set doesn't fit, our Size Promise has you covered.
Do I need to buy glue or sticky tabs separately?
No, every set comes with nail glue and sticky tabs, so you can apply straight away. Want extras? Grab our Nail Glue & Sticky Tabs Pack.
