Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the natural look and feel of the product, often finding them easy to apply and a good alternative to salon nails. Some users report that the nails last a long time, especially when instructions are followed carefully, with some even lasting up to three weeks. The brush-on glue is frequently mentioned as a good option for strong adhesion, and the adhesive tabs are noted for being gentler on natural nails. However, some people were dissatisfied with the product's durability, reporting that the nails fell off quickly, sometimes within hours or a few days, even after following instructions. There are also concerns about potential damage to natural nails, with some experiencing brittleness, peeling, or even discoloration after removal. A few customers found the application process messy or difficult, particularly with the glue, and some felt the product's appearance looked cheap or that the sizing was inconsistent.

Amazing. Ordered X Short and filed them down a bit further as I’m very heavy on my hands. First attempt, followed the instructions using the tabs and they’ve lasted the three days I wanted. A trial... See more

Excellent Nails

I loves these nails. They last at least three weeks for me. I'm a nail biter and so I get the extra short plus the brush on glue. Couple of things tho... they do not take 10 minutes to put on! 30 minutes at least with proper nail prep. It would be helpful if the thumb nails weren't so long!

I’d never had my nails done before but…

I’d never had my nails done before but decided to give Candy Claws a go as they sounded easy to put on and take off with no damage to nails. I glued my first ones on and it was fiddly to do but they did look wonderful. Very impressed. However when I wanted to remove them it was awful. I used the oil I purchased, waited, then soaked my fingers in hot soapy water. So much for 15 mins or so. It took me 1 1/2 hours to finally be able to slowly prise them off with continued soaking and drops of oil. In the end my own nails were so soft from the soaking, a couple of the candy claws were damaged trying to remove them. The glue is like bad super glue and made a mess of my nails and fingers. I’ll have to return them all as my own nails wouldn’t stand up to another trauma. Surprised I didn’t see anyone else having issues but surely Candy Claws would know about it.

Order 2 sets from candy claws

Order 2 sets from candy claws
Company states they last 2 weeks and don’t damage your nails
For me this was far from the truth applied a full set followed instructions to a T and they fell off with in a few hours.
Left my nails damaged brittle and left a red stain wanted to give candy claws a fair trial so re prepped my nails and applied a full set again and same thing happened
Pretty disappointed wish I just paid a little extra and went to a salon my nails look horrible

Absolutely obsessed with Candy Claws!

Absolutely obsessed with Candy Claws!
They still take me a little time to apply and remove, but now that I’ve figured out the prep properly, I can get them to last 3 weeks. By the 2-week mark, there is some visible growth (which is expected), but I can decide whether to put up with that look for another week or refresh them depending on what I’ve got on that weekend.

I’m still working on removing them without damaging my natural nails—it's really just the tips that take a hit, but since that’s the part that grows out, I just trim them off next time. The nails themselves stay in great condition the whole time—no chipping, no breakage when I apply them right.

Honestly, I’ll never go back to the salon. These have completely won me over!

Great for travelling

I bought these for a long overseas trip as I can never find a nail technician I trust in random countries and have ruined my nails. I found these to be a fantastic solution. The glue stickers seem easier than the glue. The nails stayed in well and were reasonable to get off with the magic remover, it does take a while though. The actual glue and removal with water was messy so use the stickers and the glue remover. I bought 4 different sets and have enjoyed them all.

I was initially very excited but NO

I was initially very excited about these nails as they seemed to be a savior. Not having to spend hours in a salon, being quick to apply and supposedly better for your nails. I even recommended them to friends and family. After several sets I found that they didn’t last more than a few days before they started randomly popping off. Due to this I probably used more force than was required to get them to stick down (getting more frustrated each time). As a result half of my nails have now been damaged at the cuticle bed and are disfigured. I bought these nails on the promise that they are good for my nails (post SNS) but I’ve had the opposite experience. The last time I applied them each fingernail started throbbing. Perhaps it was my body’s way of saying these aren’t for me.

Absolute rubbish

Absolute rubbish. They didn’t feel secure at all and the “magic serum” is a lie- they damage your nails like every other stick on nail! Don’t waste your money 😡

Expensive, not long lasting, poor size choices

They are expensive as they are meant to re-usable and long lasting. However I found multiple issues with this.
1. Mine have not lasted even 1 week let alone 2 weeks+ as advertised. They start peeling at the edges.
2. I can't re-use them when I have had some fall off and gotten lost whilst put and about and I haven't noticed.

Ff. Poor size range. The pack comes with way too many tiny size options but not enough of the middle size. My middle 3 fingers use almost the exact same size so that made it super tricky.
4. I got a French tip set but the whites started coming off at the tips after the first use not worn yet for even 1 week.
5. For "long wear" nails the nail itself has broken on a few of them.

Red short nails

I bought the short red nails .
Taking them off was torture.
Glue residue won’t come off even though I purchased the magic remover serum .
Now my nail beds are stained red.

Started coming off within 12 hours

I followed the instruction video on how to apply and used the glue. Yet...
The nails started coming off within 12hours.
After 3 days I only had 3 left.
They look nice, but don't last long.
The sticks on nails are very curved, natural nails are flatter, not sure if that impacted on the length of time they stayed on for.
I have used fake nails from a chemist many years ago, and with less prep work than this they stayed on for over a week.

Dispatch information isn’t representative

Had an emailing stating dispatched, checked the tracking 2 days later and was told different dispatch day and tracking would update 2 days later. Here we are today being told tracking should update in the next 7 days!
If you need your nails in a time frame don’t order from here.

Expectations too high?!?!

I cannot find how to leave a review on their website 🧐
I haven’t used stick on’s before, perhaps my expectations are too high!
I wanted to love these, and was meticulous in applying them, however I had 4 pop off within the first 48 hours and another snapped in the corner.
I have since been carrying around the glue, just in case! Pleased I tried them but I’ll be switching back to builders gel again.

I love candy claws

I love candy claws. I was sick of going to the salons every 3 weeks. My last set of Candy Claws lasted me 3 weeks and they can be reused. The customer service is amazing. Literally takes 10 minutes to apply. I buy a couple of different lengths, and change them depending what I have going on. I’ve always been a pretty rough on my nails and in the last few months have only had 2 come off due to me trying to use them to open a battery compartment with them. I’m never going back to the salon. Thank you Elle

Way better than the fake nails of my childhood!

Made a first order of 3 varying sets a month ago. I’ve now worn them all in different shapes/styles. I’m a real beauty amateur with terrible nail care, but got sick of paying steep prices for acrylics at nail salons. The detailed instructions (included in my order) were VERY helpful and easy to follow. The shorter they are & the better care you take to apply, the longer they stay on. I generally get 5 days without having one pop off to re-glue. This is awesome, considering my hands are constantly in hot water washing up/cleaning and clacking on a keyboard. The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is because each pack came with a different amount of spare nails and in different number sizing. This meant that I had to spend a bit longer figuring out what would fit & one pack was difficult, due to all my tiny nails and the ones provided being a bit too big (clearance stock). No nail damage to report, application takes about 10mins once you know each nail size. Definitely easy to reuse them and have held up well. Will repurchase the short & extra short shapes.
