Sugarflamnails | Handmade custom presson nails vs. factory presson nails: How should you choose your fingertip art?
In the nail art industry, handmade presson nails and factory presson nails have become the focus of consumer attention due to their completely different characteristics. As a brand specializing in high-end nail customization, Sugarflamnails hopes to use this blog to delve into the core differences between the two and help you find the most suitable fingertip aesthetic solution for yourself.
1、 Production process: Craftsmanship vs. Standardized assembly line
Handmade customized presson nails:
Each handmade nail plate of Sugarflamnails is handcrafted by experienced nail technicians, undergoing 12 processes including material selection, polishing, carving, and sealing. Using environmentally friendly acrylic or resin materials, customize the nail type according to the customer’s nail C-arc, nail bed width, and other data to ensure a fit error of less than 0.1 millimeters. For example, our cat eye series achieves a gradient effect of light refraction through three sessions of phototherapy curing and manual magnetic powder positioning technology, which takes up to 8 hours.
Factory presson nails:
Mass production using mold injection molding or machine printing, with a thickness of only 0.3-0.5mm for the nail plate, and uniform edge curvature but lacking flexibility. Although the production efficiency is high (with a daily output of up to 10000 pieces), it cannot meet personalized needs.
2、 Design and Personalization: Exclusive Art vs. Template based Reproduction
Handmade customized presson nails:
Support full dimensional customization — from A-level (ballet armor, droplet tip armor), length to complex hand drawn (micro carved flowers, 3D reliefs) can be freely combined. For example, Sugarflamnails’ “The Wizard of Oz” uses nano scale glitter and resin layered blending technology, and each piece of armor needs to be manually drawn with 3 layers of gradient. Users can also provide inspiration drawings for designers to restore their creativity one-on-one.
Factory apresson nails:
The style is limited to solid colors, basic prints, or simple stickers, with a repetition rate of up to 90%. The patterns on the same batch of armor plates are completely identical and cannot be adjusted for details.
3、 Comfort and durability: skin like fit vs. brief experience
Handmade customized presson nails:
Customize the curvature according to the data of the nail bed, and the edges are polished at the nanometer level. There is no foreign object sensation when worn, and it can be maintained for 3-4 weeks with medical grade jelly glue. Laboratory tests have shown that the bending rebound rate of Sugarflamnails nail plates is as high as 93%, and their anti collision performance far exceeds industry standards.
Factory presson nails:
Standard sizes (S/M/L) can easily cause the nail plate to be too wide or curled, and burrs on the edges may scratch the skin. Ordinary glue has weak adhesion and can only last for an average of 3-7 days.
4、 Price and Time Cost: Quality Investment vs. Fast Fashion Consumption
Handmade customized presson nails:
Due to labor costs and high-end materials, the price range is 40$ – 100$, with a customization cycle of 3-5 days. Suitable for users who pursue collectible value or important occasions such as weddings and red carpets.
Factory presson nails:
Unit price as low as 5$ – 30$, supports same day shipping, suitable for daily commuting or short-term photography needs.
