Everything you need to know!

• Temporary Wear (up to 5-7 days): With the correct prep, your nails will last up to 5-7 days with our sticky tabs in your Viva La Eva package.
• Extended Wear (up to 3-5 weeks): For nails applied with adhesive nail gel, they can last up to 3-5 weeks. (We've heard some people have had them on for 6 weeks at a time!)

*Note these estimates can vary depending on your lifestyle and whether you used the correct application technique

**Always remove any oils from your nail bed by wiping them with an alcohol pad (provided in the kit) before application.

If you’re not quite sure which size is right for you, refer to our size guides. They’re located on each product page.

Yes! We purposely made our press-ons available in sizes long, but you can always go shorter and change the shape of the nail by choosing other options we provided.

The default daily changeable options are:

• Regular-almond(20cm)
• Long-almond(25cm)
• Regular-coffin(20cm)
• Long-coffin(25cm)

100%!

Our nails are environmentally friendly, designed to be super durable and long-lasting for multiple times uses (usually 2 years usage)! 

Simply buff off the residue glue with the help of alcohol spray by using the crystal rub and place them back in the Viva La Eva case for next time's use 😊

Step 1: Prep!
Do NOT miss this step as prepping your nails correctly is essential to allowing your press-ons to stay on as long as possible!

1. Start by pushing back your cuticles using the cuticle stick & file down your nails.
2. Gently buff your nails using the sponge file in the kit.
3. Wipe all your nails completely with the alcohol wipe.
   This will remove the natural oils on your nail beds which prevents the adhesive from working as well! 
   

Step 2: Choose Adhesive Option
Sticky Tabs (Short term wear)

1. Size the sticky tab that is the correct size by placing them above your natural nail beds and choosing the ones that have the most suitable fit.
2. Apply it and squeeze the edge to cover the whole nail bed.

Tips: For the curving nail bed, simply apply one more small sticky tab at the front of your nail to prop up the nail bed and prevent water

Or Adhesive Nail Gel (Longer term wear)

1. Use the back of the Viva La Eva press on to dig a pea-sized amount of nail gel

Tips: You can touch the gel with your fingertips to adjust the amount or position, as it will not bond until the lamp!

Step 3: Press!
Apply Viva La Eva nails at a 45-degree angle and press down firmly for 20-30 seconds on each side, ensuring you remove all air bubbles upon application.

Adhesive Nail Gel

1. Make sure to choose the right SIZE for your nails that aren't too large, or too small, as this might cause Viva La Eva nails to fall off prematurely! Having press-ons either too small or too large for you means that water can get under your press-ons, and interact with the glue underneath which might cause discoloration or premature lifting. See How To Measure for instruction.
2. Before application, wipe your nails with an alcohol pad to remove any oils. Avoid touching your nails with your fingertips AFTERWARD. As that will add back the oils on your nails that you removed with the alcohol wipe.
3. To prolong wear, avoid water & soap for 3 hours after application. The ideal time to apply is before bedtime, this will extend the wear time of the sticky tabs or gel!

1. Sticky Tabs
You can easily remove your press-ons with NO damage by using the crystal rub to insert the back of your nail to open a gap, spray with alcohol spray or soak your nail in hot water for 30 seconds. Repeat this step until removed.

2. Adhesive Nail Gel
Use the crystal rub to insert the back of your nail to open a gap, spray with alcohol spray and use the crystal rub to open a bigger gap. Repeat this step until you remove it all

** Note: Some nails may take longer than others to come off depending on how much gel you use, and how long it's been since you've applied your press-on.
