FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mood Chef Press-on Manicure and Pedicure waterproof?
Yes! You can wash dishes, shampoo your hair, shower and even swim while wearing Mood Chef. The dual-layer adhesive with SuperHold technology conforms to the natural nail so water won’t get in or loosen grip.
How can they possibly stay on without glue?
Mood Chef nails are made with a new, patented SuperHold adhesive, which uses our exclusive dual-layer technology where the top layer binds to the artificial nail and the bottom layer adheres to your natural nail for stay put perfection!
What should I do with the leftover nails?
You might be able to use some of them with another manicure. Try buying a pattern that complements a color and mix the leftovers together for a unique mani. Or, you can trade them with a friend who may use different sizes than you.
Are Mood Chef nails reusable?
Mood Chef nails are not reusable. They are made to be very flexible to provide for a comfortable fit that appears natural. Therefore, when removed they become distorted and cannot be reused.
Can I file or cut the Mood Chef nails?
Avoid cutting, but feel free to file the nails to create the length and shape that you prefer… but wait until about 1 hour after initial application in order to give the Mood Chef nails time to fully bond with your natural nails.
My favorite shade or pattern has disappeared! What can I do about it?
To keep up with changing fashion and beauty trends, Mood Chef nail colors and patterns might change periodically. If you find a pattern or color that you love, you may want to stock up!
What if my nail size is in between the Mood Chef nail sizes?
Choose the smaller size Mood Chef nail if your nail size falls in between sizes. The Mood Chef nail will expand when you press firmly onto natural nails during application, conforming to your nail bed size for a sure fit.
How do you remove Mood Chef press on nails?
Don’t force or pull! You gently peel off from the side to remove. If your Mood Chef nails seem really 'stuck', apply acetone nail polish remover around edges, wait 1 minute, then peel off. You can use the enclosed wood stick to help lift the Mood Chef nail at the sides.
Do I need to remove old polish before applying the Mood Chef Press-On Manicure and Pedicure?
Before every application, nails must be free of other polish/gels/acrylics, and prepped with the enclosed Prep Pad. Mood Chef should be applied to clean, natural nails. If you lose your Prep Pad you can use a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to prep the natural nail for the best adhesion.
Some of my nails won't stay on, am I applying them wrong?
To ensure that your Mood Chef nails adhere properly, you must first prep your natural nails with the enclosed Prep Pad. This essential step helps free your nail surface of oil and other debris. It’s also essential that you use the right size nails. If you are in between nail sizes or aren't sure which size to use, choosing the smaller size is always best for lasting wear and a more natural look. Also wait for 1 hour after application to cut or file nails or to apply hand lotion or cuticle oil.
How long does Mood Chef Manicure & Pedicure last?
When properly applied, and depending on your lifestyle, Mood Chef can last from a few days to a full week.
