Established while in high-school and backed by 6 years of self-taught practice starting at age 13, the founder hand-paints every nail set. These are not simply “fake nails”, but instead, wearable art. With a growing social media following and an engaged nail art community, APEX NAIL CARE offers 100% vegan, durable, reusable nails, custom or ready-to-wear, plus cuticle oil and a Czech glass nail file for a complete at-home manicure for half the salon prices.

APEX NAIL CARE does not have a physical storefront. All APEX products are available online with Canada-wide and United States shipping or local delivery in Winnipeg. The brand is currently exploring select retail outlets but be sure to follow APEX NAIL CARE on Instagram to see which markets, pop-ups, and events APEX will be vending at.

APEX NAIL CARE press-on nails are hand-painted, reusable & premium nails designed for easy at-home application. With nail glue included in every set, there is no professional aid needed. Available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and one-of-a-kind designs.

APEX Press-On Nail Appliqués are reusable and designed for long-lasting wear. With proper care, fit and application, they can last on your nails for two to four weeks. If you’re rough with your hands, wearing them for a day or two is best to keep them looking flawless.

100%! Our press-on nails are designed for multiple uses, depending on the correct fit to your nails and how well they are taken care of after each use. Only maintenance required is filing any nail glue residue left on the underside of the nails. Proper removal and storage will extend their lifespan.

APEX Press-On Nail Appliqués are gentle on your natural nails when applied and removed correctly, making them a safer alternative to acrylics or shellac. Always use cuticle oil to remove them, but if they don’t want to budge, congrats, you’ve mastered long-term wear and found your perfect fit! Do not remove them yet if there’s no lift.

For short-term wear (one evening up to a couple days):

Gently push back cuticles, file lightly, and size each nail for the best fit. Clean nails with alcohol pads, apply glue or adhesive tabs, and hold for at least 15 seconds. Perfect for a quick, flawless look! Keep the given nail glue on your night out if you are afraid of pop-offs and you can re-apply whenever.

For long-term wear:

Prep your nails by removing any oils with acetone, filing your natural nails, and lightly pushing back cuticles. If needed, file the sides of your press-ons for a perfect fit or shorten your natural nails to your preference. Be generous with glue and press each nail firmly, holding for 30 seconds to 1 minute for maximum longevity.

Cuticle oil works best–apply first. No oil? Soak in warm soapy water, then lift off gently with the provided cuticle stick.

Yes! APEX NAIL CARE offers custom press-on nail orders, hand-painted by the founder to your specifications. For ready-made sets, four sizes are available for the best fit, with a variety of lengths and nail shapes to choose from.

While APEX Press-On Nail Appliqués are water-resistant, extended exposure can weaken adhesion. For best results during showers, swimming, or other water activities, we recommend following the long-term application method to help your nails last.

To find the right fit, we have a size chart provided here. We highly suggest that you refer to this chart as our sets are final sale. If you find that the set sizes don’t align with your nail sizes, we strongly recommend ordering a custom-sized set!

Check our size chart before purchasing. For flatter nails, consider sizing up to Extra Large. File the sides and cuticle edge for a perfect fit. Ordered the wrong size and live in Winnipeg? Reach out for a possible swap!

If a nail is lost, APEX NAIL CARE offers individual replacement nails for a small fee to match your original set. You may dm us on instagram or fill out the custom order form letting us know you require a replacement and provide as many details about the missing nail as possible.

Replacement Costs:

• Basic Nail Design: $2–$4

• Intricate Nail Design: $5–$8

On most occasions, a replacement will be 10% of the original set cost.
