About Us

Polish & Press - Press On Nails!!!
Hey babe, welcome! I’m Stephanie, the hands behind Polish & Press - Press On Nails. I started this brand in my little studio in Durban because I was so over spending 3 hours + R600 at the salon every month… only to chip my nails 2 days later. So I taught myself to create press-ons that actually look expensive. Like, “girl where did you get your nails done?” expensive. What makes us different: • Hand-painted in SA 🇿🇦 Every set is made by me in KwaZulu-Natal, not mass-produced • Reusable – Wear them for 2+ weeks with glue, pop them off, and wear again with tabs. 3-5 wears per set • 5-minute mani – No UV lamps, no dry time, no damage to your natural nails • Sizes for everyone – Not sure of your size? We’ll send a free sizing kit Whether you’re a busy mom, student, 9-5 girly, or just hate small talk at the salon – we’ve got you. Shipping: We send via PAXI for R59.95 nationwide and orders over R350 ship free. All sets are made-to-order so allow 1-2 days before dispatch. Thanks for supporting a local, woman-owned biz. Can’t wait to see your nailfies. xo, Stephanie

Our Story

Polish & Press - Press On Nails started on my couch in Durban with a UV lamp, 200 TikToks saved, and very chipped nails. I was unemployed with nail technician skills and I could never justify R800 + 3 hours at the salon every month. DIY polish chipped in a day. Salon appointments gave me anxiety. So I taught myself how to make press-ons that didn’t look like press-ons. The kind people stop you in Woolies for. The first set I wore to a family braai got me 6 orders from my aunties. Then 6 became 60. Then Polish & Press - Press On Nails was born. Today, every set is still hand-painted by me right here in KwaZulu-Natal. We’ve shipped over sets nationwide, but the goal is still the same: give you salon nails without the salon life. Because life’s too short for boring nails, and too busy for 3-hour appointments. Thank you for being here. For real. 💅 Stephanie, Founder
