To get your fake nails to fit better, the key is proper sizing and shaping. Here's how:
-
Start with Sizing: Ensure you're using the correct size nail for each of your fingers. If the fake nail is too small, it simply won't work.
-
File for a Perfect Fit: According to expert advice, if you have to size up and the nail appears too big, use a nail file (often included in press-on nail kits) to customize the shape.
- File the Free Edge: "File along the free edge of your natural nail to suit the shape of your tip," to achieve a seamless fit. This ensures the fake nail matches the contour of your natural nail.
-
Proper Adhesion: Make sure your natural nail is clean and dry before applying the fake nail. This helps with better adhesion and prevents lifting, which can cause the fake nail to look ill-fitting.
