Based on the provided context, making a press-on nail set involves applying glue to a fake nail and then slowly attaching it. The reference suggests this is part of a longer process, likely custom-making the nails.
While the snippet is short, a more complete, general process for making a full press-on nail set involves the following key steps:
-
Preparation:
- Gather your materials: artificial nail tips (various sizes), nail glue, nail file, buffer, nail polish (base coat, colors, top coat), decorations (glitter, gems, stickers - optional).
- Prepare your natural nails: clean, trim, and gently buff your natural nail surface. This helps the press-on nails adhere better.
-
Sizing:
- Select the artificial nail tips that best fit each of your natural nails. It’s better to choose a size slightly larger than your natural nail, as you can file it down for a perfect fit.
-
Shaping & Design (Optional):
- File and shape the artificial nail tips to your desired length and shape (e.g., square, oval, stiletto).
- Apply base coat, nail polish colors, and decorations to create your desired design on the artificial nail tips. Allow each layer to dry completely.
- Seal your design with a top coat for durability and shine.
-
Application:
- Apply a small drop of nail glue to the underside of the artificial nail tip.
- Carefully align the artificial nail with your natural nail and press down firmly for 15-30 seconds until the glue dries and the nail is securely attached.
-
Finishing Touches:
- File any edges of the artificial nails that may be rough or uneven.
- Apply cuticle oil to hydrate your cuticles.
Therefore, while the provided excerpt only describes the gluing stage, creating a full press-on set requires a comprehensive process from preparation and sizing to decorating and applying.
