Applying fake toenails involves preparing the nails, applying adhesive, and securing the fake nails for a perfect pedicure. Here's a step-by-step guide based on the available information:
-
Prepare Your Natural Toenails: This likely involves cleaning your toenails and potentially filing them slightly for better adhesion.
-
Apply Base Coat: Apply a thin layer of base coat to your natural toenails.
-

-
File the Fake Toenail Tips (if needed): File the fake toenail tips to your desired shape and length before applying them. This is much easier than filing after they are attached.
-
Apply Adhesive Gel: Squeeze a small amount of nail tips adhesive gel onto the back of the fake toenail tip. Avoid using too much, as it can be difficult to cure properly.
-
Apply the Fake Toenail: Carefully position and press the fake toenail onto your natural toenail.
-
Cure the Adhesive Gel: Cure the adhesive gel under a UV or LED lamp according to the adhesive gel's instructions.
By following these steps, you can successfully apply fake toenails for a salon-worthy look at home.
