24 nails per retail set across 12 sizes (XS to XXL). Most natural nail beds have at least two viable size matches. Salon packs come with 50 nails per pack.

Glue tabs are included with every retail set — these give you 2–4 days of wear and are easy to remove. For longer 7–14 day wear, add Bling Art liquid nail glue (£2.99) at checkout, or use any standard nail glue from a UK pharmacy.

24 nail tips, glue tabs, a mini emery board file, a wooden cuticle stick, and a printed application + removal guide card. Letterbox-friendly packaging.

Lay all 24 tips next to your fingernails before applying any glue. Pick the size that covers your nail bed edge to edge with about 0.5mm of margin. Most people use sizes 4–7 for index, middle, and ring fingers. See our nail size guides for each shape.

Less than 5 minutes once you've matched the sizes. First-time application takes around 10 minutes while you learn the technique. Read our 7-step pro application tutorial for the full method.

No. The gel finish is pre-cured at the factory. No UV lamp, no acetone soak-off, no salon visit needed.

Yes — use the included mini file. Best to file before applying so dust doesn't fall on your natural nail.

Choose the slightly larger tip and file the side walls until flush with your natural nail. You can't make a too-small tip bigger — always size up and file down.

7–10 days with liquid glue and proper prep, 2–4 days with tabs. Apply the night before a big event so the bond fully cures overnight. See our complete wear-time guide for the five factors that affect this.

Avoid hot water for the first 2 hours after applying liquid glue so it cures fully. After that, normal showers and swimming are fine. Prolonged hot baths, hot tubs, and daily dishwashing reduce wear time.

No — if removed properly. Never pry off dry. Soak hands in warm soapy water for 10–15 minutes, then gently rock each nail off. Apply cuticle oil after. See our 5 removal methods ranked.

Yes — if removed carefully and old glue scraped off gently. Most customers get 2–3 wears per set.

Yes — once the glue cures (about 2 hours). Medium length feels natural within a day. Long coffin and stiletto shapes take a couple of days to adapt to.
