How are Meilleur Manis made?

Meilleur Manis are handmade by our team of star nail techs all across NYC!

How does Meilleur guarantee proper sizing for my Meilleur Mani?

Once you place an order, we’ll shoot you a text with instructions to ensure your custom mani is the perfect fit. This risk-free process takes 5 minutes.

Alternatively, you can measure your nails yourself to guarantee that every single nail will fit perfectly from sidewall to sidewall.

For 97% of customers, our sizing technology is 100% accurate, resulting in a perfect fit for all 10 nails. If you use our sizing technology and any of your nails don't fit, we'll replace them with the correct size free of charge.

Do I have to go through the sizing process each time I order?

Nope! Once we confirm your size you’re good to go for every future Meilleur Mani! Every order placed the the future will automatically be delivered in your size.

How do I apply my Meilleur Mani?

Proper nail preparation before applying your Meilleur Mani is key!

  1. Push your cuticles back and buff the nail bed with buffer.
  2. Clean nails throughly with alcohol wipes to make sure there's no dust/oil on your natural nail bed. Be sure to not touch your nails after this step in order to avoid placing naturals oil from your fingertips onto your nails.
  3. Once you have done these prepping steps, apply your press-on nails using:
    Nail Glue - Can stay on for up to 1-2 weeks. Make sure to follow the correct nail prep process to insure long lasting wear. Adhesive Tabs - Can stay on for up to 1-2 days. It's perfect way to wear it temporarily and easy to remove/ reusable!
    Both - Use both methods together for longest lasting wear.
  4. Once your Meilleur Mani is applied, be sure to avoid water contact for at least 2-3 hours. It's important to avoid water contact until the glue is completely dried.

How do I remove my Meilleur Mani?

Taking off your Meilleur Mani is easy!

  1. Fill a small bowl (or two, if you're giving yourself a spa-style treatment) with about two to three inches of warm water and a hearty squirt of liquid dish soap.
  2. Keep your fingers submerged for about 15 minutes. After about 10 minutes, you should feel the nails begin to loosen up. Gently begin to press the tips up in down while your nails are still submerged to help loosen the tips from your nail bed.
  3. Add a drop of cuticle oil (but any oil will do) to your nails to help create slip.
  4. Gently use a cuticle pusher to remove the nails from your nail bed. Remember, never force them off. If the nail doesn't release easily, go back a few step and submerge your nails once again for a few extra minutes.

Will Meilleur Manis damage my nails?

Nope! Meilleur Manis are applied and removed using non-damaging methods that will allow your your natural nails to grow long and strong while wearing your customer press-ons.

Is my Meilleur Mani reusable?

Yes! With proper removal, Meilleur Manis can be reused up to three times. If you prefer to apply your Meilleur Mani using nail glue, we would suggest buffing away any built up glue on the back of the nails before reuse.

How are Meilleur Manis different from the press-ons I can buy at the store?

  • 99% of customers say Meilleur Manis look exactly like a salon manicure, unlike store-brought press-ons which can look like, well, press-ons. 🤷‍♀️
  • Meilleur Manis are hand-painted by humans - not machines - enabling you to keep up with the latest nail trends as though you’d visited a salon.
  • Our nails are made with real gel and acrylic, giving you the durability of a salon manicure without the inconvenience.
  • Meilleur Manis last 3x longer than your typical gel or acrylic set. We bring the salon to you!

What comes with my order?

Every order comes with a cuticle pusher, nail buffer, alcohol wipes, and nail glue.

For the ✨Haters✨

Not a fan of press-ons? We get it. We also used to live under a rock (hehe jk). Let us put you on ;)

"Press-ons look fake"

We actually agree here. Most press-ons look like plastic glued to your nails, and we hate that look - ICK. That’s why our manis are made by REAL people (not machines) using REAL gel polish.

The only difference between a Meilleur Mani and a salon manicure? Salon manicures hold your hands hostage, forcing you to sit there while they paint your nails. Meilleur Manis are painted remotely and then delivered for you to attach yourself at your own convenience using our tested Meilleur Method. That’s right, the salon just went remote ;)

"Press-ons never last long"

We actually agree here too! Most press-ons are super thin and pop off in a matter of days – if they even last that long. Meilleur Manis stand the test of time and can last up to 3-4 weeks due to a combination of factors:

1: Meilleur Manis are made with multiple layers of real gel polish, making them extremely durable compared to typical press-ons (which are essentially just pieces of plastic).

2: Our Meilleur Method of application makes sure you apply your nails the right way. In addition to providing the strongest glue on the market, we don’t just send you a bunch of nails and expect you the figure it out - we actually tell you the tips and secrets you need to make your mani last.

"Brands don’t sell press-ons that I would actually wear"

If you can get it in the salon, you can get it here! Literally everything about your Meilleur Mani is up to you. We let you choose your shapelength, and design!

In addition to being able to send in Custom Orders at no additional cost, our nail techs drop new designs on a regular basis, bringing you the hottest nail trends that you typically would only be able to get at a salon.

"I hate measuring my nails for custom press-ons"

That’s why we do it for you! When checking out just select “Size me” and we’ll measure your nails for you. While our nail techs are able to measure your nails with 98% accuracy, if you want a 100% guaranteed perfect fit we recommend you send us your exact nail measurements.

"Meilleur is basically just the salon”

Exactly. Except you get the same results for a fraction of the price without having to leave your house.

Salon manicures hold your hands hostage, forcing you to sit there while they paint your nails. However, Meilleur Manis are painted remotely and then delivered for you to attach yourself at your own convenience using our tested Meilleur Method.
