Absolutely LOVE these nails! My application technique has led me to a flawless nail look.
I adore these nails and have received many compliments on how they look professionally done. I’ve applied these nails many times and the key to a perfect look is the initial application.
Here is the way I apply my nails for a flawless look:
1) I make sure my nails are clean, dried off, and cuticles are lightly pushed back.
2) I always, ALWAYS use a nail file and buffer. The key to achieving a natural look without the bubbles underneath the fake nails is to make sure your nails are filed and buffed. This is my most important step.
3) I do not use the glue that comes in this packaging, as it doesn’t keep my nails on for more than 2 or 3 days without one or more nails coming off. Buy the Maximum Speed Glue by kiss or Nailene Ultra Quick Nail Glue. My nails last 2 weeks without any signs of coming loose with those 2 glues. Both I’ve found under $5 on Amazon.
4) Be careful with applying the nail glue, as it can get stuck on your hands. I use coconut oil to remove mine if I get any on my hands.
5) I apply the glue to my nail and the fake nail. This application helps further the durability of the nails.
6) I apply the fake nail starting next to my cuticle and laying the nail down at an angled level. I hold the nail in place by the tip for 15 seconds. I remove the tab from the end of the nail, and then gently file the tip of the nail to leave the tips smooth. I then follow this step for the rest of the nails.
8) You then have beautiful nails! When you’re ready to remove the nails, I soak my nails in acetone as this loosens the glue. I’ve always found soaking my fingers in warm water and a mild hand soap helps loosen the nails if I don’t have acetone.
Hope this comment helps someone! After trial and error, these steps lead me to great looking nails every time. Takes about 30 minutes total for me to soak, remove and reapply a new set every 2 weeks. Saves me a lot of money and my natural nails are so much healthier than doing acrylics every 2 weeks. Hope you have the same good results I do trying my method!
