Instructions for putting on false nails
- If your natural nails have enamel applied you must remove it regardless of the color you have, if it is transparent you must also remove it. If you do not make this point it will be very difficult for you to stick your false nails and they will peel off very easily, even the same day. If someone had already put false nails on either gel or acrylic, remove them with acetone and then wash your hands thoroughly.
- It is good that before proceeding to put on your nails you do a small manicure, in order for your real nails to stay healthier and at the same time make the false ones last longer, so soak them five minutes in warm water looking for them to be soft and thin, then take a cloth and dry well. If you want you can add to the soaking water some shower gel or hand soap, but never anything that has oil (because this one does hydrate, but it would make it difficult for you to put on your nails false).
- Take the scissors or a nail clipper to trim your natural nails and that they are even, you can also file them, look for them to be cut but without reaching the exaggeration, the file will help you soften the edges.
- Take the orange stick so that you push and lower your cuticles, make it soft; this is important to do since this way you will stick your false nails on your nails and not on your skin.
- Take a nail polisher so that you achieve a somewhat hard surface, this will help you with the nail glue; you must clean up the remaining dust.
- Now, take the false nails that you have acquired, either some to then paint them yourself, or some that already come decorated, take them out and put them in the order that you are going to proceed to put them on, logically, the largest will be that of the thumb and the smallest that of the little finger, see that your false nail does fit well in your natural nail and if you want to shape it with a file.
- Nails that are easier to put on will only need the glue that comes with them when you bought them, there are more complicated processes for acrylic or gel nails.
- Now start gluing your nails, you must do it one by one, take your first nail and pour glue on both your natural nail and your fake nail, you must use little and be careful that it does not come out and then put your false nail on your natural nail looking for a perfect alignment between your cuticle and the curve to the bottom of the false nail, when you see that it has been correct you must press it for 15 seconds, continue doing the same process with the other nails. If for any reason the glue comes out, take a swab and clean immediately; in this process you cannot afford to make a mistake, because the glue is quick drying and the nail will be crooked.
- Take the file and give your false nails the shape you like best, whether oval, classic or square; this is only optional, because you are probably comfortable with the shape your nails came.
- If your nails do not have designs, it is time for you to paint them as you like and adjust them to your style.
- After casting the enamel it does not hurt to add a layer of shine.
