False Nails: Greetings From the Past or a New Trend
False nails are a type of nail enhancement that is made to lengthen and thicken natural nails. They are usually made from acrylic or gel and can be either temporary or permanent. Unlike fake nails, false nails are not meant to be removed daily. They are meant to be worn for an extended period before being replaced.
How to apply false nails correctly
It is essential to start with clean, dry nails when applying false nails. If your natural nails are oily, use a nail polish remover to remove any excess oil.
Cut your nails short if they are too long, and file them, so they are all the same length.
Next, select the false nails that best fit your natural nails. If you are unsure about what size to choose, it is better to err on the side of caution and select a slightly smaller size.
Once you have selected the right size, apply a thin layer of glue to the back of the false nail and press it firmly into place.
Hold the nail in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set. Repeat this process for all of your nails.
False nails can be a great way to add length and thickness to your natural nails. They can also give your nails a natural look and feel when applied correctly. With so many different colors and styles, false nails are a great way to express your style. Whether you are looking for a temporary or permanent solution, false nails are an option worth considering.
