Instructions

  • 1

    Prepare your nails

    First of all, prepare your natural nails before the application of the artificial nails. Cut your nails with a nail-cutter and clean them, getting the dirt particles out from under your nails and wiping the cuticles with a wet cotton ball. Push your cuticles back with a cuticle-pusher in order to give them a proper shape before cutting the artificial nails.

    Measure and sketch Artificial Nails

    Now, measure your nails one by one and sketch their size on a plain paper. Make sure to draw the nails’ shape taller than your natural nails as you can get a chance to adjust them later on. On the other hand, if you cut them shorter than your nails, then it would be difficult for you to fit them and it will give an ugly look.

    Note: Select a good quality paper for making artificial nails.
