Yes, yes, and yes. Just skip water for the first hour while the bond cures. After that — showers, dishes, commute, gym, swimming, frantic typing sessions, you're good. Our adhesive was tested through real daily life, not just lab conditions.

HEMA (2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate) is a chemical found in most nail glues and gel polishes. It's a known allergen that can cause contact dermatitis, itching, redness, and long-term nail thinning. Our formula contains zero HEMA. You get a strong 14-day bond without any of the health risks.
No, and this is what makes us different. Salon acrylics bond into your nail. APRICOT bonds on top of it using our HEMA-free formula. When you're ready to remove, warm water soak for 10-15 minutes and they slide off gently. No thinning. No peeling. We include cuticle oil in every kit because we care about what your nails look like after, not just during.
No. This is actually one of the main things we engineered for. Our edges are precision-tapered to sit completely flush at the cuticle, no ridge, no lip, no snag. Run your fingers through your hair. You won't feel a thing.
Warm water soak for 10-15 minutes. The adhesive softens and you gently slide each nail off with the cuticle stick. That's it. No acetone. No scraping. No peeling. Your natural nails come out looking the same as they went in, or better, thanks to the cuticle oil.
Yes, if you remove them gently by soaking (not peeling). Clean off the remaining adhesive with the buffer, let them dry, and store them back in the case. Most customers get 2-3 wears per set, which brings your cost down to about $8-12 per manicure.
