Design Your Own Press On Nails

Press-on nails are no longer just a quick beauty fix — they have become a professional product category driving revenue for salons, beauty wholesalers, and nail brands. With customers increasingly seeking convenience, customization, and sustainable solutions, the ability to design your own press on nails has become a profitable niche.

Today’s clients expect salon-quality looks they can apply anytime, anywhere. For businesses, offering personalized press-on nail sets isn’t just a trend — it’s a strategic move to boost customer loyalty and market share.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Design Your Own Press On Nails

Creating high-quality, custom press-on nails for clients or retail requires creativity, precision, and professional materials. Below is a proven process used by leading salons and wholesale manufacturers:

Step 1: Choose Nail Shape and Base Material

• Popular shapes: almond, coffin, stiletto, square.

• Base materials: durable ABS plastic or gel-based nails for long-term wear and flexibility.

Tip: Match shapes with your target customer segment to increase satisfaction.

Step 2: Apply Professional Gel Polish

• Use high-quality UV/LED-curable gel formulas for vibrant color, strong adhesion, and a glossy finish.

• At Mobray Gel, our gels last up to three weeks.

Insight: Longer-lasting products reduce returns and improve repeat sales.

Step 3: Customize Designs

• Options: hand-painted art, decals, glitter, brand colors, or initials.

• Consider seasonal or themed collections to engage clients.

Pro Tip: Offering unique, brand-aligned designs sets your salon or wholesale brand apart.

Step 4: Cure and Seal

• Cure each layer under UV/LED light for durability.

• Apply topcoat for protection and shine.

Note: Consistent curing prevents chipping and maintains professional quality.

Step 5: Package Professionally

• Use branded boxes or eco-friendly pouches with clear labeling.

• Attractive packaging enhances perceived value and strengthens your brand.

Benefit: Well-packaged products are easier to sell in bulk and retail environments.
