Once you have ordered your sizing kit or determined the sizes you need and the shape you’d like, you’re ready to place an order. Orders open every Monday at 12pm EST! There is a limited quantity of design level spots per week. Once orders are filled for the week, orders are closed until the following Monday. You must message me directly on Instagram or send me an email with your order request, including your design request, nail shape, nail sizes and base color preference (please include any and all relevant reference pictures or drawings for your order). Solid color sets are available in unlimited quantities! You can purchase a sizing kit with the length and shape of your choosing at any time, no need to message me first.

There is a sizing guide on my Instagram @talonandthornnails that you can follow or preferably you can purchase a sizing kit. Your sizing kit will include 1 nail in each size of the shape you offered. All shapes run on different sizing; however, one complimentary sizing kit comes with the purchase of any design level set. Make sure to size on BARE natural nails and at the widest part of each nail. If you are in between sizes make sure to size up, too small could cause premature lifting. If you have any questions be sure to check out my Instagram or send me a message!

If using liquid glue please remember that with proper application they are meant to last at least 2 weeks! Do not try to remove glued on nails anytime before 10 days. Once your nails have loosened after this time, you can soak your hands in warm water, dawn dish soap, and a little oil for 15 minutes. Then, gently begin lifting the nails off the nail bed using a cuticle pusher. If using temporary glue tabs, they are safely removed in a bit of warm water and oil. The better you remove your press ons the more uses you'll get out of them! A full removal tutorial on my instagram page @talonandthornnails

Unlike drugstore press-ons, Talon & Thorn nails are made from 100% soft gel material which promotes longevity and durability. My luxury press-ons are hand painted with care and fully customizable. You can take full control on the outcome of your vision. The biggest difference between Talon & Thorn press-ons and cheaper alternatives is the reusability aspect. This means you're getting "More Bang For Your Buck'' in the long run.

When applying your Talon & Thorn nails, you have 3 options:

1. Liquid Glue Application: Meant to last 14+ days. Full instructions on the back of each card you receive your nails on.

2. Temporary Glue Tabs: Meant to last 1-3 days. Follow the same prep steps for the liquid glue, but use the correct size glue tab instead when applying.

3. Glue Tabs + Liquid Glue:

The complimentary application kit includes liquid nail glue, glue tabs, buffing block, nail file, alcohol wipe, cuticle pusher, and detailed application/removal instructions.

Every set of Talon & Thorn nails is made from 100% soft gel materials! I use Aprés Gel-X, The Painted Desert, and Esvy full cover nails which are made of 100% soft gel. These nails are superior quality and extremely durable. All designs are made with UV gels and top coated with UV gel as well for maximum strength and wear.

Talon & Thorn nails are hand made with durability being the first priority! With proper prep and application, they can last 14+ days with liquid glue. They are reusable with proper removal and care on average up to 5 times.

Everyone’s nails are uniquely different! There’s plenty of ways we can customize your press-ons to make them work better for you. However if you have clubbed nail beds or severely down turned nails, press-on nails might not be the best fit for you.

• Avoid excess water, lotions, & oils at least an hour before and after the application.

• Apply right before bed so the glue has time to set overnight.

• Don’t be afraid to lightly file/shape the sides of nails for an exact fit to your natural nails.

• Don’t use your nails as a tool and pick a length appropriate for your lifestyle.

• Wear gloves when cleaning and apply cuticle oil regularly to maintain nail shine and health.
