Practical guides for brands, wholesalers and online sellers — shape demand, size curves and fit, hand-painting versus printing, private-label packaging and the real cost of a small first order. Written by the studio that makes the product, not a content agency.

Screens, cameras, lighting, surface finish, and the physical nail material can all change how a color appears. A practical matching process therefore uses the image as design direction, adds a physical or...

Most first-time readers come with one of these questions. Each path ends at a real page, not a lead form.
Start with the channel you sell into — it decides your packaging, MOQ and shape mix before design even starts.
Solutions by channel → Path 02Read the demand-and-margin comparison for the three shapes that make up most press-on shelves.
Shape guide → Path 03See the benches, the QC desk and the honest capability boundaries before you send an RFQ.
About the studio →Editorial Standard
Search volumes are labelled with their dataset and month. Anything we haven't measured is described as an observation, not a number.
We make press-on nails; ranking competitors would be theatre. Guides explain trade-offs so you can decide for your own channel.
Every guide is written against what actually happens on our benches — including the parts that cost us orders.
Fundamentals stay free. We'd rather be the studio you trust before the RFQ than the one holding a PDF hostage.
Send it to the studio. Questions that come up more than twice tend to become the next guide — with the answer credited to the problem, not to us.
