Are the Press Ons water-resistant? Can you shower, swim, or go to the sauna with them? (pool, sea, salt water, fresh water, chlorinated water, swimming pool)

Soft Gel Press Ons are generally water-resistant, so you can easily shower or wash your hands.

However, in the sea, salt water or chlorinated water they can – like all Press Ons – be more heavily affected. Prolonged contact with salt water or chlorinated water may weaken the adhesive of the stickers and cause the Press Ons to come off sooner.

Especially with frequent water exposure or heavy use, wear time may be reduced. For better hold, we recommend drying your nails well after contact with salt or chlorinated water and using nail glue instead of adhesive stickers, as it is much more water-resistant.

Important: avoid contact with water at least 1 hour before application and 1 hour after application so the adhesion can fully build up. This way you make sure your Doonails manicure stays beautiful for as long as possible, even on holiday.
