FAKING ACRYLIC NAILS

The Essentials: False Nails, Nail varnish, Nail file. 

Finishing Touch: Cuticle Oil, Handcream.

1. 

Find the nail sizes that best suit your nail, don't worry if they are a little big, you can file them down next. Do this for all fingers and line each one up from thumb to little finger so you don't get them muddled up.

2. 

File down the false nail until they sit perfectly on top of you nail and fit around the sides correctly. I like my nails fairly short but it is up to personal taste how long you have them.

3. 

Stick all the nails on with glue. When sticking them on have a make-up wipe or wet wipe handy so you can quickly wipe away excess glue before it dries.

4. 

Paint nails in whichever colour you prefer. I tend to do two coats to make a more polished finished. Personally, I love using white on these nails as I think it has a more professional finished look but any colour is good!
