If you are a complete beginner to luxury press-on nails, this article was written just for you! You will learn why luxury press-on nails are the perfect option for a busy person such as yourself, what steps you will need to get started, and how to navigate to important touch points in purchasing your first press-on nail set.

Why Luxury Press-On Nails?

Luxury Press-On Nails are a safe, reusable, and luxury option for busy people--such as moms, teachers, professionals, active lifestyles and more--that want beautiful gel manicured nails but do not want to sacrifice their time, budget, and health to get consistent manicures/soak offs in the salon. Maybe you have sensitive skin, allergies, or just don't want to sit in a salon every 3 weeks...luxury press-on nails are for you!

What are Luxury Press-On Nails? What makes them "luxury"?

Luxury press-on nails are not like the plastic tips you can get at the drug store. Meadowlark & Poppy uses sculpted gel tips that are then prepped, painted , and finished with premium, salon-quality gel products. Meadowlark & Poppy seeks to use products that are from safe and reputable gel brands (all of our products have an SDS sheet you can request information about at any time). Every set and design is custom fit (you need to get sized) and hand-painted so you will never have something mass produced/manufactured y someone you don't know. We hand paint everything with artistry, love, and intention.

Let's get started

Follow these steps to get you your first luxury press-on nail set...

1. Order a Sizing Kit

Pick the shape/length(s) you want to try to get a custom fit. All new customers (or anyone switching nail shapes) must start with this step. While it is only a temporary wait, this will help ensure a proper fit and that you are not wearing a size that is too small or too big for you.

2. Size Your Nails

Once you get your sizing kit you will use the nail tip sizes to individually size each nail and write them down on your card. Once you have you're sizes you're good to go for any future sets in that shape and length. How to Size Tutorial Here

3. Order Your Nails

Now that you have your sizes you will need to land on a design. You can always purchase a solid color set or send us a message to start a custom order if you would like any type of design.
