Care + answers

Everything people ask before their first set.

Custom Nails by Maddie is a one-person, online-only nail art business in Baltimore, Maryland. Every set ships free anywhere in the US, and every order includes adhesive tabs, glue, a prep wipe, a mini file and a paper sizing strip.

How long do press-on nails last?
With the included adhesive tabs, expect 3–7 days of wear. With nail glue, 2–3 weeks. Every set is reusable, so you can pop them off, clean the backs and wear the same set again.
How do I measure my nails for press-ons?
Measure the width of each nail bed in millimeters at its widest point. Enter your thumb and index measurements in the size finder above and it tells you which kit to order. Every order also ships with a free paper sizing strip for next time.
How much do custom press-on nails cost?
Ready-to-ship gallery sets run $35–$55. Made-to-order custom sets run $60–$70 depending on detail, before add-ons like sculpted charms or rush production (+$20). You get a firm quote with your mockup before you pay anything.
How long does an order take?
Gallery sets ship in 3–5 business days. Made-to-order customs take 7–10 business days after you approve the mockup, because every nail is painted by hand. Rush turnaround is 3 business days for $20 extra. Express shipping ($12, by USPS Priority Mail) cuts the time in the mail to 1–2 business days.
Can I reuse press-on nails?
Yes. Soak the set in warm soapy water for 10 minutes, lift gently from the cuticle side, and buff any leftover adhesive off the back. Stored in the box, one set is good for 5+ wears.
Can I pick up my order in Baltimore?
No. There's no storefront or pickup, so every set ships, Baltimore addresses included. Shipping is free anywhere in the US, and gallery sets leave within 3–5 business days.
