The Getaway Edit
Vacation Nails That Pack Themselves
Out-of-office days deserve nails that keep up. This edit gathers seashore shimmer, island blooms, citrus brights and open-water blues into one easy collection of press-on sets — no lamp, no polish smell, no drying wait. Press them on before the flight; the shine stays through the journey home.
The Itinerary
Four Looks, One Suitcase
Every getaway has its own mood, so this edit reads like a travel plan — pick the stop that matches your trip.
Seashore Shimmer
Shell-soft gloss and pearl gleam that read like sunlight on wet sand — calm enough for a beachside dinner, luminous enough for the ferry deck.
Island Blooms
Tropical florals in lei-bright colour for island days — playful at the beach bar and still polished enough for the resort lobby.
Citrus & Sunshine
Lemon brights and warm golden tones, bottled like a cold drink on a hot afternoon — instant energy for road trips and seaside lunches.
Open-Water Blues
Sky-to-deep-sea blues with a clean glass shine, made for boat days, boardwalks and anywhere the horizon feels close.

Trip Length
How Long Will They Stay On?
The Weekend Hop
Adhesive tabs · a few daysPerfect for short breaks: adhesive tabs alone hold a weekend and release cleanly whenever plans change, leaving natural nails untouched.
The Full Getaway
Glue + tabs · up to two weeksFor proper vacations, nail glue plus tabs holds for up to two weeks. Seal the free edge, press out every bubble, and slip spare tabs into the suitcase just in case.
The Packing List
Five Checks Before You Fly
Prep the canvas
Buff away shine, then wipe each nail with the included alcohol pad — gel holds best to clean, dry nails.
Match the sizes
Every kit carries a full size range. Line each tip up with its nail first, before any glue is opened.
Choose your hold
Tabs for short trips, a drop of glue for long ones. Glue the natural nail only — never the skin around it.
Press and hold
Press each tip down firmly and hold a beat longer than feels necessary — pressure is the secret to a sealed edge.
Seal the edge
A sealed free edge keeps water out and adds days of wear. Skip long soaks for the first hour after applying.
Trip’s End
Unpack, Then Lift Gently
When the holiday ends, soak the set in warm soapy water — a drop of oil helps — and lift from the edges. Never force or peel. Stored flat with fresh tabs, the same set is ready for the next boarding call.
Asked at the Gate
Vacation Nails, Asked & Answered
Will they survive a beach-and-pool trip?
Yes — choose glue over tabs for swim-heavy days. Fully cured gel shrugs off swims and splashes, and a sealed free edge keeps water from creeping underneath.
Tabs alone suit a day or two of lounging; if a corner lifts after a snorkel, repress it with the spare adhesive tabs in the kit.
Which shape packs best for travel?
Short almond or squoval. Lower profiles cannot snag on luggage zips or flex back under travel knocks, and tapered sides keep fingers elegant in every photo.
Any tip files shorter with the included file — adjust on the road instead of committing before you pack, and compare silhouettes in the shape guide.
Can I apply them mid-trip instead of before flying?
Yes — there is no lamp, no smell and nothing to dry. The gel arrives fully cured, so the only steps are prep, sizing and pressure; a set is holiday-ready in minutes at any hotel desk.
Do the alcohol wipe after applying sunscreen: SPF oils left on the nail are the most common holiday bond-breaker.
Will one set cover a two-week vacation?
Usually, yes — with glue plus tabs, hold runs up to two weeks. Longevity comes from dry prep, firm pressing and a sealed free edge, which together see off sun, sand and repeated swims.
Carry the kit’s spare tabs for instant repairs; one lifted tip never ends the trip, and refills live in nail accessories.
Are there matching sets for sandals?
Yes — this edit carries square press-on toe sets. They mirror the hand sets' shine and wear the same cured-gel surface, so open-toe plans are covered before the first beach day.
Explore them in the press-on toe nail collection; shorter lengths feel best between straps.
