They’re Strong… But Be For Real

They’re Strong… But Be For Real

Why Our Premium Press-Ons Are Built to Last—but Still Deserve a Little Love

Let’s talk about it.

If you’ve spent any time scrolling through press-on nail content, you’ve probably seen the “stab-an-apple” trend. Or the desk-bashing. Or the “look, I opened a soda can with my pinky nail!” videos.

Sure it's entertaining - but is it realistic. 

At Les Tomes, we don’t need to throw our nails into battle to prove their worth. Yes, our press-on nails are strong. Yes, the glue is next-level. But let’s be real: they’re not supernatural.

We design premium, reusable press-on nails for women who want to feel polished without the price, damage, or time commitment of a salon. Our nails are built to last for everyday life—but they’re also luxury. And like anything luxe, you’ve got to treat them with a little care.

So… How Long Do Les Tomes Nails Last?
With proper prep and care, you can get 10–14 days of solid wear out of your set. Technically? Yes, you could stretch them to 3 weeks. 
But honestly? Why would you want to?
We don’t wear the same outfit for 3 weeks straight—and we don’t believe your nails should stay the same that long either. Once that grow-out hits, it’s time for a fresh set. And with Les Tomes, changing your nails is easy and damage-free.

What You Can Do With Les Tomes Nails:
✅ Type all day
✅ Cook dinner
✅ Pick up your baby
✅ Go out for cocktails
✅ Be fabulous

What You Probably Shouldn’t Do:
❌ Use them to open cans
❌ Scrape off stickers
❌ Garden with your bare hands
❌ Stab anything (even if it’s just an apple 🍎)

You wouldn’t use a silk blouse to scrub a pot. You wouldn’t use your favourite handbag to carry firewood. So don’t use your Les Tomes press-ons like they’re tools from the shed. They’re made to enhance your life—not survive a zombie apocalypse.

Every Les Tomes set comes with our signature vegan leather croc pouch, so you can store them, reuse them, and switch them up anytime.

They’re salon-quality, sustainable, and made for real women living real lives—mums, multitaskers, fashion lovers, and anyone who still wants to feel a little glam without the hassle.
