At astrelle, we focus on shapes designed for everyday wear. Our collection is carefully curated to feel comfortable, practical and effortlessly polished - whether you're heading to work, school drop-off, a coffee catch-up or dinner with friends.

Our current shapes include:

• Short Almond
• Short Oval
• Short Square
  

We believe shorter, wearable lengths create the most natural-looking manicure for everyday life. Additional shapes may be introduced in future collections.

Our kits include 30–32 soft gel nails depending on style, allowing most customers to find a comfortable fit for every finger. If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the slightly larger size and gently filing the sides for a customised fit.

If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out before ordering.

Use our sizing guide in each product page to measure the widest part of your natural nail and match it against our size chart.

If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up and gently filing the sides for the most comfortable fit.

Yes. Our soft gel press-on nails can be gently trimmed or reshaped using the included nail file to achieve your preferred length or shape. We recommend filing slowly and evenly to maintain a smooth, natural-looking finish.

Wear time depends on the adhesive you choose, your application, and your daily routine.

Temporary wear (up to 3–4 days)

Use our adhesive tabs for quick, flexible wear. Perfect for events, weekends, or when you want an easy switch-up.

Extended wear (up to 2 weeks)

Use our nail glue for a longer-lasting hold and a more secure wear experience.

For best results, follow our prep and application instructions carefully. Lifestyle factors like water exposure, hand washing, and daily activity can affect wear time.

When applied and removed correctly, press-on nails are considered one of the gentlest alternatives to salon enhancements. astrelle nails do not require drilling, harsh filing or UV curing.

For healthy natural nails, we recommend removing and reapplying your set after 1–2 weeks of continuous wear. This allows you to clean the nail surface, check for any lifting and maintain the best possible adhesion.

Always follow our recommended removal process and never force or pull off your nails.

Step 1 — Prep

Proper prep helps your nails last longer.

1. Push back your cuticles and lightly file your natural nails.

2. Choose your size by matching each press-on to your natural nail.

A good fit should:

• sit comfortably without pressure
• cover your natural nail without touching the surrounding skin
  

If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

3. Gently buff your natural nails to create a better surface for adhesion.

4. Clean each nail thoroughly using the prep wipe provided to remove oil and residue.

5. Avoid touching your nails after cleansing, as this can transfer natural oils back onto the surface.

Step 2 — Choose your wear

Select the application method that suits your plans.

Temporary wear (up to 3–4 days)

Use adhesive tabs for flexible, easy-to-remove wear — perfect for weekends, events, or a quick switch-up.

• Select the correct adhesive tab size for each nail
• Apply firmly to your natural nail before pressing on your astrelle set
  

Extended wear (up to 2 weeks)

Use nail glue for a stronger, longer-lasting hold.

• Apply a thin layer of glue to your natural nail
• Apply a small amount to the back of the press-on nail
• Less is more — too much glue can cause overflow and air bubbles
  

Step 3 — Press

Apply each nail at a slight angle near the cuticle, then press down firmly for 10–20 seconds, ensuring there are no air bubbles.

For best results, avoid getting your hands wet for at least 2–4 hours after application.

Removing your astrelle nails gently helps protect your natural nails and keeps your press-ons in the best condition for possible reuse.

Step 1 — Soak

Soak your nails in warm water with soap and oil (such as cuticle oil, body oil, or kitchen oil) for 10–15 minutes.

Some nails may take longer depending on:

• how much glue was used
• how long the nails have been worn
• your chosen application method
  

Step 2 — Gently lift

Using the cuticle stick provided, gently nudge the press-on from the side or near the cuticle.

If the nail lifts easily, it’s ready to come off.

If you feel resistance, stop soaking and allow more time.

Step 3 — Be patient

Never forcefully pull or pry your nails off.

Doing so may damage your natural nails.

A gentle removal process is always best.

Yes — with proper care, astrelle sets can be worn more than once.

Reusability depends on how the nails are applied, removed, and cared for.

To help extend the life of your set:

• Wear gloves when handling harsh cleaning products or chemicals
• Remove your nails gently and never force them off
• Buff off the residue glue from the nail using our petite nail filer for next time's use
  

A little care goes a long way in keeping your astrelle nails looking their best.

Yes. Our short almond, short oval and short square shapes are specifically chosen for comfort and practicality, making them ideal for everyday activities.
