Press-On 101

What are Press-On Nails?

Press-ons are full‑cover nail tips that are applied to the natural nail with glue in 10min or less and last for up to 14 days. 

Why Use Press on Nails?

If you've ever left a a two‑hour, $100+ salon visit, with half of your natural nail filed off, and facing the classic “what I asked for vs. what I got” disappointment, you'll understand why so many are turning to press on nails. 

With Mini Ami, you choose the design, shape, and length up front and receive exactly that—durable gel nails, studio‑grade art, and zero appointment time. 

Each tip is handpainted over a Aprex Gel-X full cover tip, so they look and wear exactly like a professional gel set—because they are.

FAQ's

What is gel?

Gel is a liquid resin that hardens under a UV/LED lamp into a glass-smooth coating. Because it cures instead of air-drying, it stays glossy, scratch-resistant, and stronger than regular polish.

What are gel press-ons?

Mini Ami press-ons are salon-grade Apres Gel-X tips that I hand paint with premium Korean and Japanese gels. You simply press them on with nail glue and get the same glassy professional gel look in about 10 minutes—no drills or lamps or 3hrs appointments neccessary.

How long do they last?

Wear time ranges from 3 days to about 3 weeks. Good nail prep and a full bead of glue give you the longest wear, while a thin layer of glue lets you pop them off after a weekend.

How do I reuse them?

After removal, gently file the old glue off the back of each tip, wipe with acetone, and store them until your next use. Most sets can be reapplied 2–3 times without losing shine or strength.

What Nail Size am I?

Size matters—each hand is unique. Order a sizing kit for a no-guess try-on. measure each nail in millimetres and match the numbers to the Mini Ami chart (or choose Custom). Need help measuring? Follow the step-by-step guide.

How It's Made

After you order, I hand-select your sizes, prep each Apres Gel-X tip, and paint the design with professional Korean gels. Every nail is individually inspected before packaging and shipping.
