About Us

We're Zoe & Kayee; two friends who love cute nails, but hate spending 3+ hours in a salon 😈

We started QQ Beauty with a simple observation: press-on nail art has been a huge trend in Asia for years. The designs are stunning, the application takes minutes, and (if applied correctly,) the sets are reusable. But in Cape Town and Joburg, we struggled to find cute and affordable options outside of plain colours or basic prints. 

QQ Beauty a small, women-led business on a little adventure to see if we can change that. We source our nails directly so you get access to designs you won't find anywhere else in South Africa.

Have feedback? We're constantly learning to improve and would love to hear from you! Please send us a note here.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply and remove my press-ons?

Applying:

  1. Clean your nails and push back your cuticles
  2. Select the right size for each finger — if between sizes, go slightly larger and file down
  3. Peel a nail tab, press firmly onto your natural nail for 10–15 seconds
  4. Avoid water for at least 6–8 hours after application for best hold

Removing:

  1. Soak your fingertips in warm water for 5–10 minutes
  2. Gently peel from the sides — never force or pull from the tip
  3. Your press-ons can be reused if removed carefully

A few tips: Avoid prolonged soaking (dishes, swimming) to extend wear time. Wear gloves when washing up if you can. Store removed nails in the original box for reuse.

How do I measure my nail size?

We are unable to accept returns on certain items. These will be carefully marked before purchase.
