How to Apply Press-On Nails
There are several ways to apply false nails, depending on the type of nail and adhesive method each brand offers. For instance, some press-on nails come without any attached adhesive. To wear those, you'll need to purchase nail glue to stick on the nails. Other nails have their own sticky coating on the back, or you can purchase sticker-like products that lie over your own nails for a seamless finish.
Whichever product you choose, you’ll want to follow some important guidelines:
To maximize stickiness, always clean your natural nails before applying fake nails. This includes removing old nail polish, washing your hands and using alcohol or polish remover to strip any lingering oils.
Clip your natural nails so they’re shorter than the fake nails you’re about to apply.
Before applying adhesive, match up fake nails to each finger, one by one, to be sure the sizing is correct.
How to Remove Fake Nails
The best press-on nails are the ones that seem to last forever, but there will still come a time when you need to take them off. First, read through any removal instructions that came with your nails or the separately purchased nail glue.
If you can't find the instructions, try the soaking method. Fill a small bowl with either an acetone-based nail polish remover or a mix of warm water and mild dishwashing detergent, and soak your fingers for about 10-15 minutes. Check periodically to see if the fake nails are starting to wiggle and separate from the real nails below. Once there's movement, use a nail stick to fully lift off the press-on nail, and buff away any leftover glue.
How Long Do Press On Nails Last?
Once you've found the perfect natural fake nails, or those that look the most natural on your fingers, you want them to last. But longevity depends on several factors, including the type of nails you choose, your lifestyle and the quality of the adhesive.
Generally speaking, press-on nails are made to last about 10 days to 2 weeks. The life span of your nails could be shortened if you apply nails over old polish or if your hands aren't completely clean. Engaging in activities that are hard on your manicure, such as gardening without gloves or washing dishes several times a day, can also reduce the longevity of your fake nails.
How To Make Press On Nails Last
To get the longest possible wear out of your press-on nails, start by choosing high-quality nails. Long-lasting nail glue can also help deliver stronger long-lasting bonds. Before you apply the glue, prep your cuticles by moisturizing. Then, wipe your nails down with quitaesmalte, and buff them gently — this creates a slight texture for the glue to grip.
For the longest-lasting nails, choose a nail size, shape and length that suit your everyday activities. This strategy reduces wear and helps the glue last longer.
How To Apply Nail Stickers
Press-on nails can be a blank canvas for nail stickers or decals; apply them before or after you put on the nails. For best results, start by washing your hands. Make sure the nails are clean and free of dust. Use pinzas to lift the stickers off the sheet, and place them gently on the nail. Smooth them down, starting from the center and working your way out to the edges.
Do You Need Fake Nails for Nail Art?
You don't need fake nails for nail art; simply apply the design to your natural nails. Since natural nails tend to be shorter, it's often easiest to stick with simple artwork. Typically, you'll need a base coat of pintura de uñas as well as a clear top coat for sealing.
How To Do Nail Art on Fake Nails
Before you do nail art, lay out the 10 fake nails you're planning to use. You can put them on before you paint, but you'll have more control by painting them first. Speed up the process by choosing fake nails or an acrylic kit in a base color that works for your design.
Cut a piece of tape, and wrap it around the end of a cotton swab o lápiz with the sticky side out. Press the tape into the back of a fake nail. Hold the swab in your non-dominant hand, and use nail polish to paint the design with your dominant hand.
If you're new to fake nail art, a stamp kit o una nail decals can help you create precise lines and shapes. Seal the design with a coat of clear polish.
How Do You Do Fake Nails With Nail Art?
When you buy a kit with fake nail art designs already applied, simply apply the fake nails to your natural nails. To start, wash and dry your hands. Then, push back your cuticles with a cuticle stick, and wipe down each nail with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. This removes residue and allows the adhesive to form a tighter seal.
Para press-on nails, peel off the backing sheet from one false nail. Set it on top of your natural nail, and apply pressure for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat with the rest of the nails.
If you're using a glue-on fake nail art kit, such as Kiss Velour Fantasy, you'll need nail glue. Brush a thin coat onto your nail and the back of the fake nail. Press it in place, and maintain pressure for 5 to 10 seconds.
Which Fake Nails Are Best?
The best fake nails for you typically depend on your skill and time availability. A predesigned nail kit can help you achieve professional-looking results quickly. If you want more artistic freedom, nude false nails make a versatile canvas.
