press on nails diy
DIY press on nails can be a fun and affordable alternative to getting acrylic or gel nails at a salon. Here are some steps to follow when making your own press on nails at home:
Remember to be careful when applying and removing press on nails to avoid damaging your natural nails. It's also a good idea to regularly remove and replace your press ons to give your nails a break from the glue.
- Gather your supplies: You'll need press on nail tips, nail glue, nail file, and nail polish (optional).
- Choose the right size: Measure your natural nails and choose press on nail tips that fit snugly over your nail beds.
- File and shape the tips: Use a nail file to shape the edges of the press on nail tips to match your natural nails.
- Apply the glue: Place a small amount of nail glue on the back of the press on nail tip and place it on your natural nail. Hold the tip in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to dry.
- Optional: If you want to add some color to your press on nails, apply a base coat of nail polish and let it dry. Then, apply your desired color and finish with a top coat.
- Repeat the process for each nail until all of your press ons are in place.
