About Us
We didn't find luxury press-ons. We built them.
Kaos Collective was born in Brisbane, Australia, out of a simple frustration: why did beautiful, high-quality press-on nails feel impossible to find? Founded by Madeline in 2025, Kaos Collective started as a passion project that quickly became something bigger - a brand built for women who refuse to compromise on how they show up.

FAQ's
Application tips?
Keep them dry at first - After applying your nails, try to avoid water for at least 3 hours. This gives the glue or sticky tabs time to fully set and ensures your nails stay put longer. Yes, we know it’s tricky, but a quick bathroom pit stop first can save your nails from lifting.
Choose the right size - Picking the right nail size is essential. Nails that are too small or too large can trap water underneath or cause the edges to lift. If needed, gently file the sides for a perfect fit.
Shape & adjust before gluing - Don’t be afraid to trim or file your nails to get your ideal length and shape before applying. This helps them feel more natural and comfortable while reducing the chance of accidental lifts.
Prep your nails properly – Make sure your natural nails are clean, dry and free of oils, lotions or residue. Press-ons adhere best to bare, prepped nails, which means longer-lasting wear and fewer accidents.
Experiment with placement - Sometimes small adjustments to how you place your nail can make a big difference. Press it down starting at the cuticle, then gently press toward the tip for a secure fit.
Can I change the shape/length ?
YES! if your nails are a little bit to long for your liking, you can easily file them down with the included nail file.

Are Kaos nails waterproof?
Yes! Kaos nails are waterproof, so you can shower, swim, wash your hands, and do the dishes as normal.
