Nails, but make them Moody.

Hi, I'm Alexis! Owner of Moody Claws.

I have been doing nails and nail art as a hobby for the last 5 years, and would like to share my art in the form of durable, reusable press-on nails, perfect to match any outfit or occasion.

So, I would like to announce that I am officially 🎉OPEN🎉 for custom orders only at this time, pre-made sets to browse and purchase will come later. (I'm battling shipping and delivery issues, carriers are struggling, too!)

💋So, go ahead and get measured using the directions and sizing chart in the pinned post and DM me your sizes and desired design, shape, length, color, or even send me a pic for inspiration.

🎯I've been doing nails as a hobby for almost 5 years now and can do just about anything! So let's chat about your dream mani! (I eventually *plan* on getting my nail tech license, but that will be much later.)

🕛I'm expecting order turnaround times to be 4-7 days (subject to change based on order volume and supplies.) and I'll make sure to keep it updated as I go.

🖤I've uploaded my nail swatches to make color picking easier and to help you get started curating your perfect mani! I also have an extensive collection of gems, crystals, nail foils, pigment powders, etc. So if you want something extra fancy just ask!

💲Pricing💲
(Current shapes and lengths offered, will be adding more, stay tuned.)

*All sets come with a prep kit that includes everything you need for the application.*

🟪Short length sets - starting at $15 for a 10 PC custom set, and $20 for a 24 PC universal set for those that would rather not measure. (Nail art, gems etc will be extra.) I have short lengths in coffin, square and stilletto.

🟪Medium length sets - starting at $25 for a 10 PC custom set, and $35 for a 24 PC universal set. I have medium lengths in coffin, square, and stiletto.

🟪Long length sets - I currently only have the long length in a tapered coffin shape, starting at $35 for a 10 PC custom set and $40 for a 24 PC universal set.

🚀I can ship locally and nationally at this time,(I will pay shipping and this will also increase the turnaround time depending on carrier transfer), as well for my 📍Salina, KS locals, I can deliver or we can arrange for pickup to fit your needs/schedule.

💲Payment due at the time of order, currently I am accepting payment via
cashapp: $moodyclaws
venmo:

I will be setting up a Facebook shop soon, but for some reason, FB says I'm restricted. 😅 Thank you for your support! I'm looking forward to everyone wearing my art! 💋🖤

🔥Press-On Nail Application Instructions🔥

I pre etch all of my Made to Order and custom sets to ensure a strong adhesion.

Prep is the key to long wear and is a pivotal stage of the application process. Each hand painted nail order includes, a nail prep pack (alcohol wipe, cuticle pusher, nail file and buffer), nail glue and adhesive tabs.

Prepping your nail beds for press-on application:

🟣I always like to start by washing my hands and making sure the nail area is as clean and oil free as possible, then Use the provided wooden cuticle stick to gently push back the cuticle to make it easier to clean the nail bed from oils and debris on all 10 fingers.
🟣Use the included nail file to shape the free edge of the nail to help preserve natural nail integrity after removal.
🟣Use the included orange nail buffer to buff the entire nail making sure to remove the surface shine and oils and any cuticle that may be left on the nail bed.
🟣Use the alcohol prep pad to clean the dust from the nail and to remove any remaining oils and dust.

❤️Now you're ready to apply.



Makarrt and KDS glue are perfect for 1-2 week wear, and the adhesive tabs are strong enough for wear of around 1-2 days at a time and also make your new nails completely reusable.
If you do use glue, you can use the included buffer to gently and carefully buff the residual glue from the underside well of the nail.


✅For strongest wear I recommend combining the tabs with glue, which is also a great way to fill any gap between your natural nail and the c curve of the press on (if you have flatter nails.)
🗝️Apply the tabs to the natural nail first and then add the glue on top of the tab before firmly pushing and holding the press on in place about 10-15 secs and then it should be secure.

✅Alternatively, you can opt to only use the nail tabs for 1-2 day wear, which is great for those that prefer to wear press-on nails for occasions, events or outings.
🗝️For this method, just size up the nail adhesive tabs to your nail bed and apply them to the press-on. Remove the protective film and firmly press down on the nail starting from the cuticle area and down to the free edge.

The use of a nail primer and/or dehydrator before applying a quality nail glue will make the press ons adhere with the strongest bond. These are the same steps used in a salon before acrylic/gel application and are great if you have more oily skin/nail beds.

And the most important part, for the longest wear, Nails are jewels, not tools. 🖤💋
