How To: Apply False Nails
Hey guys
Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails.
You need:
False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc)
Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 (www.superdrug.co.uk)
Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick
Nail scissors (curved work best)
Emery board
1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic.
2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off.
3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove from skin and when in contact with clothes it might start to smoke (not majorly, just be careful with it!!) Get someone else to apply the glue if you want.
4) Begin with the pinky on your left hand, if you are right handed. Line the nail to yours and press against the glue for a few seconds. The nail glue will tell you how long you need to hold it for.
5) Repeat with the rest of the nails.
6) If you want them shorter, take curved nail scissors and snip the amount you want off. Use an emery board to file and smooth down edges.
At this point you are finished, but it's up to you if you want to paint/decorate them or just leave them.
I hope you guys enjoyed this 'How To' and I will blog again soon
