Why are longer Press Ons always thicker?

Modified on Sat, 20 Sep, 2025 at 8:31 PM

Longer Soft Gel Press On shapes need to be more stable so they don’t easily break or bend. 

That’s why the material thickness is adjusted during production:

Stability: The longer the nail, the more pressure it is exposed to in daily life (e.g., typing or gripping).

A thicker structure ensures the nail doesn’t bend or break as quickly.

Shape retention: Thinner, long Soft Gel Press Ons could deform more easily due to external influences. 

A slightly thicker base ensures an even and long-lasting shape.

Length-to-strength ratio: Shorter nails need less material to stay stable, while longer nails require additional 

reinforcement to remain durable.

Our Soft Gel Press Ons are designed to provide an optimal balance between stability and a natural wearing feel.
