It's Angela here, your founder bestie from Fette, and I'm about to get REAL with you about why I created this brand in the first place!

My Nail Horror Story 😭

Picture this: me, absolutely obsessed with having perfect nails 24/7, getting gel manicures every three weeks like clockwork. I thought I was living my best nail life until one day I looked down at my natural nails (mid manicure, of course) and literally gasped. They were paper-thin (the bendy tips anyone?), brittle, and breaking at the slightest touch. The constant gel application and removal cycle had completely destroyed my nail health!

That's when I knew something had to change - and that's exactly why Fette was born.

The Nail Health Tea ☕

Let's keep it simple - your natural nails need to TAKE A BREAK! When you're constantly coating them in gel polish and subjecting them to harsh removal processes (hello, acetone soaks and aggressive buffing), you're literally stripping away the natural oils and proteins that keep your nails strong and healthy.

Here's what happens during the gel cycle:

• Constant buffing thins your nail plate
• UV light exposure can weaken nail structure over time
• Acetone removal dehydrates your nails and cuticles
• No recovery time means your nails never get a chance to restore themselves

The result? Brittle, peeling, weak nails that break when you're just trying to open a can of Diet Coke! Not cute, bestie.

Why Press-Ons Are Your Nail's Best Friend 💅

This is where press-on nails can be the HERO of your nail story! Although I fully get that press-ons are NOT substitutes of gel manicures, quality press-ons like ours at Fette actually protect your natural nails and give them the much deserved TIME OFF while giving you that salon-perfect look.

The Fette Difference:

• Zero damage removal - our press-ons come off gently with warm soapy water
• Nail protection - they act like a shield for your natural nails underneath
• Recovery time - you can take breaks between applications to let your nails breathe
• No harsh chemicals - no acetone, no UV lights, no aggressive buffing

Plus, you get 7-14 days of flawless nails without any of the commitment or damage! Not to mention all our nails are reusable for life which is why they are called FOREVER NAILS by Fette! Think about the money AND time saved.

The Glow-Up is REAL ✨

Since switching to press-ons (obviously my own brand because I'm obsessed), my natural nails have completely transformed. They're stronger, healthier, and actually growing! I can take breaks between sets to give them some TLC with cuticle oil and strengthening treatments, actually, I now mostly wear press-ons when I'm out with friends or on holiday and leave my nails bare the rest of the time!

Pro Tips for Healthy Nails with Press-Ons:

• Give your nails a 24-48 hour break between applications
• Moisturize your cuticles daily with nourishing cuticle oil
• Gently buff only vertically and when necessary - less is more!
• Choose the right size to avoid unnecessary pressure on your nail bed

Your Nails Deserve Better, Babe!

Look, I'm not here to shade gel manicures completely - they definitely are gorgeous! But for us girls who want gorgeous nails without the damage, press-ons are literally the perfect solution. It's all about giving your natural nails the love and protection they deserve while still serving LOOKS.

That's exactly why I poured my heart into creating Fette - because every bestie deserves to have beautiful nails AND healthy nails. You shouldn't have to choose!

Ready to give your nails the break they've been begging for? Check out our collections and join the press-on revolution. Your future self (and your nail beds) will thank you! 💕
