Prepare your nails: Before applying nail tips, make sure your nails are clean, dry, and free from any oils or residue. Use a nail file to shape your natural nails to the desired length and shape. Select the right size: Choose a nail tip that fits the width of your natural nail. If the nail tip is too small, it will not cover the entire nail, and if it is too big, it will be difficult to apply and may not look natural. Apply glue: Apply a small amount of nail glue to the underside of the nail tip and press it firmly onto your natural nail. Hold it in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to dry. Trim and shape: Once the glue has dried, use nail clippers to trim the nail tip to the desired length. Use a nail file to shape the tip to match the shape of your natural nail. Apply polish: Apply a base coat to your nails, followed by your desired nail polish color. Finish with a top coat to protect your nails and give them a shiny finish. Maintenance: As your natural nails grow, the nail tips may start to lift. You can reapply the glue to secure the nail tip back in place or remove the nail tip altogether and start again. With these tips, you should be able to successfully apply and maintain your nail tips for beautiful, long-lasting nails.
