how to order

New to GiLi Nails or the world of press-on nails in general? Ordering is easy and I'm here to help!

Grab a sizing kit

Sizing Kits are the best way to find your perfect fit and to preview how a certain shape or length looks on your hand.

Sizing kits include 11+ different sizes of each length/shape you select and directions for finding your size. Once you write down your sizes for each hand, you're ready to begin placing your order.

Browse the made-to-order inventory of on designs or place a custom order

All sets on the site can be customized to your preferences. Use the Order Notes box to let me know your custom sizing numbers and any modifications you'd like before adding each set to your cart. 

To place a custom order, simply fill out the form with the required info (sizing, length, shape, description if needed) and attach any inspo pic you have. Please double check that your email doesn't contain any typos in case I need to reply with any follow-up questions

Place your order 

Once your order is placed, you'll receive an order confirmation email. Please note all sets are handmade-to-order and usually shipped out within 10 business days. Once your order has shipped, you'll receive your tracking info.

  • Processing time begins after invoice is paid

  • Please double check your email for any typos (if it's entered incorrectly, I can't reply)

How do I apply my press-on nails?

  • Buff your nail beds with the rough side of the buffer block
  • Gently push your cuticles back
  • Use the alcohol wipes to cleanse and dry your nail beds
  • Apply glue to the center of your nail bed. Line the press on up properly with your natural nail and press down at an angle, beginning at the bottom. Apply pressure onto the nail while spreading around the glue for about 10 seconds

  • Taking the time to prep your nails properly when applying your press-ons will directly affect how long your nails stay on

How long will my nails stay on? 

  • With nail glue, proper application and care, around 2-3 weeks at a time

  • With adhesive tabs, usually just a couple days at a time

  • Adhesive tabs can be combined with nail glue for extra grip.

  • If you have naturally oily skin/nails, I recommend buying a nail hydrator to use after you've prepped your nails, but before applying glue.

How can I safely remove press ons?

  • Soak your hand in warm, soapy water for up to 5 minutes

  • Add an oil of your choice (coconut, olive oil, etc) if desired

  • Gently slide cuticle stick underneath the nail to remove

  • If it's still stuck, don't rip it off. Just repeat the process

  • Aftercare: gently buff away the old glue, cleanse with an alcohol wipe and apply cuticle oil if possible

I lost a nail. What do I do?

  • Please note: if the replacement fee is included in an order with sets, it may take up to 10 days before the replacement nail is shipped. If you need the replacement(s) ASAP, order it separate from the other items

What is the best way to contact you?

Email is preferred. Please email me directly or use the contact form on the site.

What are your business hours?

  • Business Hours:

Monday - Friday 9am- 5pm

  • Non-operational on:

Weekends, all holidays

Are my nails reusable?

  • Yes! I highly recommend investing in a cheap e-file if you're regularly wearing press on nails. With an e-file, you can successfully file off the old glue from the press on and your nail bed. This will allow you to re-use your press ons successfully

  • Check out my IG tutorial on how to reuse your press ons here

Stolen or lost packages

Once USPS obtains your package and scans it into their system, I no longer have any control over it.

If mail is frequently stolen at your residence:

  • Use the Order Notes to request signature confirmation and I'll happily add it on to your order for no extra fee
  • This ensures that USPS must hand the package directly to you or alert you to pick it up at the post office

If your package was lost in transit:

Please note: Missing/lost packages are a disappointment and loss for us both. A lot of product, love and time goes into each set. Unfortunately, I can not afford to remake every order that gets lost or stolen. Thank you for your understanding xo
