Custom Press-ons
For those who live outside of Dufferin County and can't make it into the studio, The Nail Coven offers custom press-on nails. These premium press-ons are professional grade, which are stronger than standard kits found in drugstores. I use the same products to paint press-ons as I do in the studio.
​
Whether you’re an author who wants to celebrate your book release, a bookish fan who longs to feel closer to your favourite story, a performer, or a whimsical person who doesn't love nails all the time but has a special event, press-ons are the perfect option. When used with sticky tabs, the nails are reusable and can be worn multiple times. Plus, it means you don't have to sit for several hours for an appointment. When the nails arrive, you just apply them and then get on with your day!
A minimum lead time of 3-4 weeks is required, longer if shipping outside of Canada. Before painting the press-ons, you need to choose the shape and length, and the I need your sizes. After that, the goal is to have them painted and in the mail within 10 business days. It adds up quick, so the earlier you order before your event, the better! US shipping takes 5-7 business days.
Prices for custom press-on nails begin at $100 plus shipping.
Bookish press-ons begin at $150 plus shipping.
All orders over $250 include a free sizing kit! Sizing kits can be purchased for $10, shipping included.
Press-on orders valued at $200 or more require a 50% deposit, with the remainder to be paid when they're received. Keep in mind that my prices are in CAD. For most international clients, the exchange rate works well in your favour!
Sizing information is found below, along with an order form to get started on the press-ons of your dreams!
Sizing Your Press-Ons
If you've chosen to include a sample sizing kit, here's all the information you need!
The goal is to have full coverage of your natural nail, up to the bottom of your free edge (the white tip) and a tight fit along the cuticle. If your cuticles are overgrown, but won't be when you wear the press-ons, line up the sizing nail where you expect your cuticle line to be.
​
Line up the bottom of the press-on along your cuticle and check each side of the press-on to make sure your natural nail is covered without being too wide. Keep in mind that if you've chosen a narrower press-on shape like stiletto or almond, you will likely need to file the free edge of your natural nail in order for the press-on to fit. But the press-on should not begin to taper too far below your free edge. Filing the lower sides of your natural nails can hurt your nails.
Measure the sizes for each finger on each hand, as sizes can differ. Please note your sizes for each hand, from pinky to thumb. The Nail Coven is not responsible for sizing issues, so it doesn't hurt to double check.
Once you have your sizes, send them to me at thenailcrone@gmail.com. I can't wait to paint your press-ons!
