VELOUR turns the two-hour salon appointment into a two-minute ritual at home. Studio-grade press-on sets, sculpted in real gel and finished by hand, ready to wear the moment they leave the box — no lamp, no dry time, no chips halfway through your week.
A gel manicure asks for an appointment, a commute, a lamp, and an hour you rarely have. A regular polish chips before the weekend. VELOUR was built for the space in between — the look of a salon set with none of the logistics.
Peel, press, and go. A full set takes about the length of a song — no soak, no cure, no smudged tips before you reach the door.
One salon visit can cost more than a season of VELOUR sets. And because every set is reusable, the price per wear keeps dropping.
Pop them off gently, store them in the tray, and reapply up to three times. Rotate designs the way you rotate your outfits.
No drills, no filing down your natural nail, no acetone soak. Your own nails stay underneath, protected and free to breathe.
VELOUR started with a simple frustration: you could have beautiful nails, or you could have your time back — rarely both.
We spent two years working with nail technicians, chemists, and hand models to build a press-on that behaves like a real gel set instead of a plastic sticker. That meant sculpting each tip with a natural C-curve, curing a genuine gel top coat for depth and shine, and hand-finishing the free edge so the light catches it the way it does at the salon.
The result is a nail wardrobe: a small collection of sets you keep in a drawer, ready for the dinner you forgot about, the interview tomorrow morning, or the ordinary Tuesday that deserves a little more. Beautiful nails should fit into your life — not the other way around.
Every set is designed to slip into your rotation — a neutral for the everyday, a statement for the night, a classic that never lets you down.
A soft nude base with a hand-painted white tip. The one you reach for when you want your hands to simply look put-together.
A deep, oxblood red with mirror shine. Understated in daylight, unforgettable by candlelight — dinner nails, essentially.
A lilac base scattered with fine silver flecks that shift in the light. Built for the nights that end far later than planned.
A milky rose in a velvet matte finish. Soft, quiet, and endlessly flattering — the manicure equivalent of a cashmere sweater.
A liquid-gold chrome that reads like jewelry for your fingertips. Pairs with everything, upstages most of it.
A white base veined with soft grey marble, hand-drawn tip to tip. Timeless, editorial, quietly expensive-looking.
Shape changes everything — the same colour reads completely differently on an almond than on a square. Every VELOUR design comes in your choice of six.
Practical and comfortable from the first minute. Perfect for typing, parenting, and anyone new to press-ons.
Our most-loved length. Enough drama to feel done, still short enough to live your whole day around.
Full salon glamour. Turns any set into a statement — best saved for the occasions that deserve it.
No experience required. Your first application takes a few minutes; by your third, you'll do it without thinking.
Wash your hands and buff the surface of each nail lightly. Wipe with the included prep pad so every nail is clean, dry, and oil-free — this is the secret to a set that lasts.
Match a press-on to each of your nails using the 24 sizes in the tray. Choose one that sits just inside your sidewalls. When in doubt, size down.
For up to two weeks of wear, add a thin layer of the included gel glue. For a quick one-day look, use the adhesive tabs instead — gentle on and gentle off.
Line the press-on up with your cuticle, press down firmly, and hold for 15–20 seconds. Work from pinky to thumb so nothing lifts before it sets.
Give the glue five minutes to cure fully before showering or washing up. That's it — no lamp, no dry time, no waiting on your own nails.
Avoid hot water and oils for the first hour. A little patience up front buys you many extra days of perfect, chip-free wear.
No hunting for tools, no last-minute trips to the pharmacy. Each VELOUR set arrives complete, ready to apply the moment it lands on your table.
We believe what touches your body every day should be something you can feel good about. Here's what goes into every VELOUR set — and what stays out.
No animal-derived ingredients anywhere in the nail, glue, or packaging.
Never tested on animals, at any stage, by us or anyone we work with.
Free from formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP. Kinder on your nails and your air.
Packed in FSC-certified card printed with soy-based inks. Nothing wasteful.
VELOUR sets are made to come back for an encore. Treat them kindly at removal and a single set can carry you through several looks.
A press-on that fits well disappears — it looks and feels like your own nail, only better. Too wide and it lifts at the edges; too narrow and it looks unnatural.
Each box carries 24 sizes so you can match every finger precisely. To measure, hold a press-on over your natural nail: the perfect size sits just inside your sidewalls without pressing into the skin.
Between two sizes? Always choose the smaller one. A slightly narrower nail hugs the surface more securely and wears far longer.
| Size | Width | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 16.0 mm | Thumbs |
| 2 | 14.0 mm | Thumbs / index |
| 4 | 12.0 mm | Index / middle |
| 6 | 10.5 mm | Ring |
| 8 | 9.0 mm | Ring / pinky |
| 10 | 7.5 mm | Pinky |
Widths are approximate. Every box includes intermediate sizes for a precise match.
"I applied a full set on the train and no one believed they weren't done at a salon. Twelve days in and not a single chip."
"I have short natural nails and hated how salon acrylics thinned them out. These gave me length without the damage. Hooked."
"Reused the Merlot set three times for three different events. The shine still looks brand new. Genuinely worth it."
If your set doesn't fit, doesn't last, or simply doesn't feel like you, tell us within 30 days and we'll make it right — a replacement or a full refund, no lengthy forms and no guilt trip. Beautiful nails should feel like a small joy, never a gamble.
With the gel glue and a careful prep, most people get 10 to 14 days of solid wear. With the adhesive tabs, expect one to three days — ideal for a single event. Your prep is the biggest factor: clean, dry, oil-free nails last dramatically longer.
Not when applied and removed as directed. There's no drilling, no filing down your natural nail, and no acetone soak-off. The most important rule is simple: never rip a press-on off. Always soak and slide it away gently.
Yes — up to three times. Remove them gently, peel off the old adhesive, wipe them clean, and store them back in the tray. A little care at removal is what makes the encore possible.
Once the gel glue has fully cured — about five minutes after applying, ideally an hour before heavy water exposure — yes to all three. The bond is waterproof. We just suggest gloves for long stints of hot, soapy water to extend wear.
With 24 sizes per box, almost everyone finds a match. If a nail sits between two sizes, choose the smaller one and gently file the sides to fit. If you're truly stuck, our happiness promise has you covered.
Absolutely. You can file the length shorter and refine the shape with the included file before or after applying. We recommend shaping before you press them on, so nothing tugs at the bond.
Our formulas are free from formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP, and are vegan and cruelty-free. As with any adhesive product, we suggest a small patch test first if you have known sensitivities.
New designs, early access, and honest tips for longer-lasting nails — delivered when there's actually something worth saying.
