Fake Nails: How to Get the Perfect Fit

Nail Measurement

Before you start applying fake nails, it's important to make sure you measure your nails correctly. This will ensure that the nails fit snugly and don't fall off easily.

To measure your nails, use a measuring tape or ruler. Measure the length of your nail from the cuticle to the tip. Then, measure the width of your nail at its widest point.

Quick Take on Applying Acrylic Nails

If you're short on time, here's the quick take on applying acrylic nails:

1. Prepare your nails by filing them and pushing back your cuticles.
2. Apply a thin coat of primer to your nails.
3. Apply a small amount of acrylic powder to your nail brush.
4. Mix the acrylic powder with the monomer liquid until it forms a doughy consistency.
5. Apply the acrylic dough to your nail and shape it into your desired shape.
6. Allow the acrylic to dry for a few minutes.
7. File and buff the nails to smooth out any rough edges.
8. Apply a top coat to protect the nails.

And that's it! You now have beautiful, acrylic nails that will last for several weeks.
