Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply my Adorna press-on nails?
Preparation: Wash your hands thoroughly, then use the cuticle stick to gently push back cuticles, removing any dead skin. Lightly buff your natural nails, then wipe clean with the prep pad. Allow nails to dry completely.
Application: Select the appropriate size of adhesive tab and apply it to the center of your clean, natural nail. Remove the top film, then place your Adorna nail at a 45-degree angle, gently pressing down while slightly pulling the sticker towards the tip to ensure full adhesion at the bottom edge. Press firmly for 30 seconds to secure. For best results, avoid contact with water for at least two hours.
Pro Tips: For a stronger hold, warm the adhesive tabs with a hairdryer before application. For a flawless finish, apply your Adorna nails to your thumbs and index fingers last. Use a twister to help take out the top film if needed.
Always carry a set of sticker in your purse in case of needs. You can never be too ready.
How do I remove my Adorna press-on nails?
Removal: Soak your nails in warm, soapy water to soften the adhesive. Use the cuticle stick to gently lift around the edges of each Adorna nail, loosening it for easy removal. Avoid forcing the nail off—continue soaking if needed for a smooth removal.

How do I select the correct size for myAdorna nails?
Our nail collections follow a standard sizing system for fit. For guidance, refer to our detailed sizing chart and measurement instructions to find your perfect fit.
What should I do if I’m between sizes?
If your size falls between two options, choose based on preference. A slightly larger size provides full coverage, while a smaller size creates a more elongated, slender look.
Can I file or trim my Adorna press-on nails?
Light filing is acceptable to refine the shape, but excessive filing or cutting may damage the protective top coat, potentially leading to peeling or chipping.
Can I reuse adhesive tabs?
No, adhesive tabs are single-use and lose their effectiveness after removal.
Do you offer adhesive alternatives to tabs?
At Adorna, we exclusively provide adhesive tabs as they protect the natural nail and allow for reuse of the press-ons. Unlike glue, tabs are safe and sustainable. Stay tuned as we explore new long-wear adhesive solutions.
What if the adhesive tabs seem too short?
Choose tabs that match your nail’s width and position them at the base. Use the edge of your press-on nail to spread the adhesive slightly for better coverage.
Why is cleaning the natural nail important before application?
Properly cleaning your nails with the provided alcohol pad ensures that any oils or residue are removed, allowing the adhesive to bond securely and last longer.
How should I care for my Adorna nails after application?
To ensure lasting wear, avoid applying oils or lotions directly to the nails. If your hands are exposed to intense activity, consider wearing gloves or reapplying as needed.
Why do I see air bubbles under my press-ons?
Ensure the adhesive tab is applied smoothly, use the rosewood stick included in your kit to help by lightly stroking the protective film. Then press out any air bubbles before attaching the press-on.
Why does the top coat on my press-ons peel?
This can occur due to natural wear and tear, excessive filing, or frequent contact with hard surfaces. To prolong wear, handle with care and avoid unnecessary stress on the nails.
Why do my press-ons cause discomfort?
Adorna press-ons are designed with a natural curve to ensure a snug, secure fit. If your natural nails are very flat or soft, you may initially feel slight pressure as they adjust to the curved shape of the press-ons. This sensation is usually temporary and should disappear within 1–2 days.
Discomfort can also result from selecting a size that is too small, which can exert unnecessary pressure on the nail bed. If the discomfort persists beyond a couple of days, we recommend removing the press-ons to prevent further irritation.
Why do my press-ons hurt after prolonged wear?
Discomfort can result from improper sizing or application. If the nails are too small, they may cause unnecessary pressure on the nail bed.
Can I return or exchange my Adorna press-ons?
Due to hygiene protocols, all sales are final. However, if you believe you received the wrong item or there’s an issue with your order, contact us directly for assistance.
What if I notice discoloration on my nails ("Greenie")?
Green discoloration can occur if moisture gets trapped under the nails. Keep the area dry and allow it to grow out naturally. If in doubt, consult a pharmacy professional.
