Frequently Asked Questions

Temporal Nails specializes exclusively in handcrafted cat eye press-on nails, featuring the signature magnetic shimmer effect that creates a dimensional stripe across each nail. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, every set is handmade with premium materials to ensure superior quality and durability.

Each set is designed to be a "time capsule" — capturing your unique style and mood, making your manicure more than just nails, but a reflection of who you are.

With proper application, our nails typically last 3–5 days. Some customers report wearing them up to a week! Longevity varies based on your daily activities and how closely you follow our application steps.

Each Temporal Nails set includes:

• 24 handcrafted press-on nails in 10 different sizes
• Professional-grade nail glue
• Mini nail file
• Cuticle stick/crystal wand
• Detailed application instructions

Each set of Temporal Nails is handcrafted to order. Once we receive your order, we begin production, and the entire process—including crafting and packaging—takes approximately 10 business days. Once shipped, delivery time depends on your location and chosen shipping method (typically 1-8 business days within Canada). You'll receive a tracking number via email once your order ships.

Each set contains 10 different sizes to fit a wide range of nail shapes. Lay out all sizes first and match them to your nails before applying. Choose a size that fully covers your nail bed without touching cuticles or skin. When unsure, size down — oversized nails can lift more easily.

Yes! With gentle removal and proper care, you can get multiple wears out of each set. File off excess glue before reapplying and store nails properly between uses.

Keep them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the cat eye effect and prevent warping.

When applied and removed correctly, Temporal Nails are safe for your natural nails. For best results, gently buff your nail surface before application. As with any manicure, allowing your natural nails to rest between applications helps maintain their health.

Yes — this is normal with handcrafted nails. Minor variations in gradients, shimmer placement, or hand-painted details are natural characteristics of artisan work. No two sets are exactly alike, and these differences make your set unique.

The acrylic box opens toward the nail tip, and size numbers are printed inside each nail at the tip end.

Lighting, displays, and filters may slightly alter color appearance. While our photos aim to be true-to-life, small differences are normal. The physical product is the accurate reference.

Please avoid contact with corrosive substances or abrasive materials while wearing them. Treat your nails gently—press-ons, like all manicures, require reasonable care to maintain their appearance.
