The Fall of the House of Usher
Every set is painted by hand in our studio, never mass produced. We check each nail before it ships, so it looks fresh from the salon when it arrives.
With the glue in the box, your set stays on for 2 to 4 weeks of everyday wear. Only need them for one night? Use the sticky tabs and take them off anytime.
Our soft gel tips bend with your nail, so they feel light and never pinch. They come off without harsh filing or soaking, and our paints contain no HEMA.
Everything you need is in the box: prep tools, glue, sticky tabs and an easy guide card. No salon visit and no drying time.
Take them off gently, keep them in the case, and wear the same set again for your next event.

How to Apply
- Size: pick a nail for each finger that covers your nail edge to edge, just above the cuticle.
- Prep: push back cuticles, lightly buff, then wipe each nail with the alcohol pad.
- Glue: add a thin layer to your nail and a small drop inside the press on.
- Press: place it near the cuticle, press down and hold firmly for 10 to 20 seconds.
- Stick: peel an adhesive tab and smooth it onto your nail with no air bubbles.
- Press: remove the top film, press the nail on and hold for 10 to 20 seconds.
Remove according to the adhesive you used. Never pull or force a nail off.
- Adhesive tabs: soak in warm soapy water with a little oil for 10–15 minutes, then gently loosen the edges. Repeat if needed.
- Nail glue: use Magic Remover as directed on its label; allow 5–10 minutes and gently loosen. Repeat if the nail is still attached. Water alone may not release cured glue.
Acetone may affect the finish and reuse of the set. For reusable removal, follow the remover instructions. Stop if removal is painful.
