How to make false nails at home?

False nails are an ideal opportunity to make stylish manicure for those girls who do not have a minute of free time. Such services are provided in nail design salons, however, the cost of such services is quite high. That is why many women of fashion stick their nails themselves at home.

In a frantic pace of life, it is quite difficult to combine work, home, caring for loved ones with quality personal care, and most often the choice is not made in favor of the latter.

Long nails are very beautiful, but due to constant worries about the house and contact with household chemicals, growing them is quite problematic. And many professions are not combined with length: doctors and teachers in most cases walk with short nails, and in offices with a strict dress code, length is also often prohibited.

However, weekdays are weekdays, and in the life of every girl there are sometimes events when you need to look "100%"; it is in this case that false nails will come to the rescue. It will take you very little time to get a stylish manicure, and you can get rid of it literally in a matter of minutes.

At the same time, false nails are very easy to remove, unlike extended ones, which should either be dissolved in a special liquid, or cut down for a long time and troublesome.Cover plates are removed quite quickly: you just need to take a nail polish remover based on acetone and dissolve the glue on which the coatings are attached with it.

Of course, false nails are cheap. If you resort to building, then you need to pay a rather impressive amount to make the nail plates longer, give them the necessary shape and apply a pattern. Overheads are much cheaper, while you can periodically change the pattern on them as you wish.

To glue your nails yourself at home you should decide on their main characteristics.

• Overhead tips can have a pattern, or they can be monochromatic.
• They differ in shape and length: both short plastic nails and long plates are on sale, so every woman can choose those that will fully match her style and image.
• Fastening method: usually tips have an adhesive layer on the inside, but you can often find other types of products that are glued using a special compound.
• And, of course, false nails differ in their quality, on which the price for them and the naturalness of the finished coating largely depend. Consumer reviews indicate that it is best to make your choice in favor of the products of the well-known brands Maybellin and Loreal. These cosmetic companies produce a wide assortment line of both false nails themselves and improvised means, and you can buy them in specialized stores or order online.

It is very easy to glue false nails at home, however, you still need some skill. For women of fashion who do not have the appropriate experience, we will give simple recommendations.

To begin with, we advise you to buy a couple of packages at once so that you have plenty to choose from. It is best that the packages are transparent and soft: then you can try the nail on your nail plate in the store and make sure that it will match the shape of your own nails. Usually finished nails are produced in a square shape, but it is quite easy to change it with a regular file. Keep in mind that the better the material from which the nails are made, the more natural they will look.

Before you start gluing nails, you should put your hands in full order; of course, you can neglect manicure, but without it, the result will be completely different, and false nails will not be so effective.

After you have processed the nail plates, removed the cuticles and cut off the keratinized side ridges, you should thoroughly wash your hands with soap and dry them, then prepare the patch plates and proceed directly to the application.

Each artificial nail from the back is coated with glue with an even layer, after which it is pressed against the nail plate with effort. It is held in this position for about 10-15 seconds so that the glue can set and dry. This should be done with all the remaining nails.

First you need to decide on the length and shape: It should be noted that shortened nails protruding above the tops of the fingers by no more than 2-3 mm look much more natural and attractive. The plastic is trimmed with a margin, and after that, using a nail file, the tips are brought to the required length and shape.

When the work on one finger is completed, it can be used as an example for the rest: the hands must be identical, so when working it is worth focusing on the same shape of the marigold.

It is very important to remove the border between the overhead and native nail plates; for this, nail files and buffs are used. Only after that you can start decorating nails: they are usually painted with decorative varnishes and covered with glitter, rhinestones or beads.

Let's dwell separately on how to remove the tips. Everything is simple here: you just need to hold your hands in hot water for about 20 minutes. At this time, the glue dissolves and the pads are quickly and easily removed. If the nail still holds, dip your finger into the nail polish remover for a few seconds, in this way the plates are removed very quickly.

If you wish, you can try to make false marigolds yourself, most often scotch tape is the material for their manufacture. You will need single-sided tape, you can use transparent or colored tape depending on your personal preference.

A piece of scotch tape is cut off and wrapped around the marigold and the strip is cut so that it is twice as long as your own nail, and then pasted entirely so that the marigold looks completely glossy. Then press on the sides of the tape so that it bends and looks more natural. If the tape is too wide or too long, cut it to the desired size.

As a rule, children resort to such "decors", as well as women who want to test one or another nail design on their hands.

In conclusion, let's give a little advice: do not use patch plates all the time, as you can harm your own nail plates, so let your hands rest every 2 weeks, taking advantage of a break for treatments that will strengthen the nails and restore their natural strength and shine.
