ARTIFICIAL NAILS

Artificial nails offer an easy solution for growing out your natural nails, provide instant gratification, can be applied at home, and are ideal for replacing a broken nail. They look natural if you choose the right size, eliminate the white plastic effect and file them into a convincing shape.




FILE NAILS

Clean and dry your natural nails. File and condition them ready to attach artificial nails.







CHECK FIT

Select the correct nail size for each nail. If necessary, file the sides for an exact fit.








APPLY GLUE

Spread a thin, even layer of nail glue over your entire nail or over the part of the artificial nail that will be attached to your natural nail.




PLACE ON BARE NAIL

Place the false nail up to - but not touching - the cuticle. Press firmly for a few seconds. File off any rough edges.





APPLY VARNISH

Apply two coats of nail varnish of your choice and seal with a layer of topcoat.







TIPS

• Use non-acetone polish remover to remove artificial nails, soaking until they dissolve. Never break or peel them off as this damage your natural nail.
• Do not wear artificial nails for longer than a few weeks at a time; your natural nails need a breather.
• Never use household glue; use special nail adhesives.
