Frequently Asked Questions

Wear & Performance

How long do they last?

Beautiful nails in just 2 minutes, with up to 14 days of secure wear. Our specially formulated adhesive tabs give you a lasting hold without messy nail glue—so you can enjoy your manicure until you’re ready for a change.

Will they pop off?

Correct sizing and careful preparation help minimise lifting or premature removal. Choose a nail that fits comfortably from sidewall to sidewall without overlapping the surrounding skin. Make sure your natural nail is clean, dry and oil-free, then apply the adhesive tab to your natural nail, peel off the top film and press the Press-On firmly into place for the recommended time.

Can I shower and wash my hands with them on?

Yes. Normal hand washing and showering are fine. To help maximise wear, avoid prolonged soaking or submersion where possible. If you are planning extended swimming or water activities, applying a fresh adhesive tab beforehand may help maintain adhesion

Can I exercise with them on?

Yes. Sistaco Press-Ons are designed for normal daily activities, including exercise. Take extra care during high-impact activities or sports where a nail may catch or be knocked.

How should I store my Sustainable Nails?

Store your Sustainable Nails in the storage box provided to help keep them clean, organised and protected between wears.

Application & Sizing

How do I find my size?

Use our Press-On Size Guide to measure your natural nail width and select the closest fit. Choose a size that sits comfortably from sidewall to sidewall without overlapping the surrounding skin. If you are between sizes, select the size that gives the most comfortable, secure fit without forcing the Press-On onto the nail.

What if the nail is too long?

Every set includes a mini nail file. You can gently shorten and reshape the Press-On to suit your preference. File gradually and check the shape as you go.

Do I need any other products to apply them?

No. Your set includes the essentials needed for application, including a prep pad, adhesive tabs, nail file and wooden stick. No UV lamp is required. For best results and to preserve reusability, we recommend using the supplied adhesive tabs in accordance with the application instructions.

Removal & Reuse

How do I remove them without damaging my nails?

Using our Ease Away Pen apply an amount of liquid under the Sustainable nail to loosen the nail tab. Allow it time to work around the adhesive. Gently work from the sides using the wooden stick. Never force or pull the Press-On from the natural nail. If you feel resistance, apply more oil, wait a little longer and try again gently.
When Nail releases, if you still have some of the nail tab sitting on your natural nail do not pull or roll off as you can damage your natural nail. Use our Erase Pad to break down the formula

Can I remove them without the Ease Away Pen?

Yes! When you’re ready for a change, soak your nails in warm, soapy water to help loosen the adhesive tabs. Gently ease the press-ons away as they release.

Can I really reuse them?

Yes. With careful removal, cleaning and storage, Sistaco Press-Ons can be reused. After removal, gently peel away the used adhesive tab from the back of the Press-On and store the nail in its tray or storage box. Before your next wear, apply fresh tabs to your clean, dry natural nails, peel off the top film, then press the press-on nails on top. The number of reuses will vary depending on wear, removal and care.

Where do I get replacement adhesive tabs?

Replacement Adhesive Tabs are available from Sistaco Accessories on our website. Keeping a spare pack on hand makes reapplication easy.

Product & Ingredients

What are Sistaco nails made of?

Sistaco Press-Ons are made from a bio-sourced, plant-derived polymer material. They are made without HEMA, MMA or formaldehyde.

Are they safe for sensitive nails?

Sistaco Press-Ons are applied using adhesive tabs rather than a UV-cured gel application. However, sensitivities can occur with many materials and adhesives. If you have a known sensitivity to adhesives or nail products, consider testing one nail first and discontinue use if irritation or discomfort occurs.

What's the difference between Sistaco Press-Ons and the Mineral Bond system?

They offer two different ways to enjoy a Sistaco manicure. Mineral Bond uses our powder system with Base and Top Coats to create a longer-wear manicure. Press-Ons provide a quick, easy-to-apply alternative that can be removed and changed when you want a different look. They are particularly convenient for events, travel or anyone who enjoys changing styles regularly.
