Fashion Nails
With a huge range of fashion nails from which to choose, you can be as creative
as you desire. You don't need to stick to the traditional pink and red shades
- there are colors available to match your wildest fantasies. Then there is
a huge range of decorative adornments available - from gems and rhinestones
to stripes and transfers. The only limit is your imagination!
Let's take a look at how to apply those fashion nails:
1. First of all, follow the basic steps as for the other types of acrylic
nails, up to applying the nail varnish.
2. Then apply the basecoat varnish, followed by two coats of your preferred
nail polish.
3. Now choose the appropriate size of decorative nail overlay for each finger,
which should completely cover your natural nail in both width and length in
a perfect fit.
4. Apply adhesive to the underside of the overlay.
5. Gently lower the overlay into position and apply a light pressure until
the glue dries. That's it, you are now the proud owner of glamorous or even
crazy fashion nails!
To remove fashion nail overlays, you will need to file the tips so that the
protective top coating is broken. Then soak your nails in non-acetone-based
nail polish remover until the overlays become soft. Then take a cloth and wipe
off the plastic and glue residue until your natural nails appear below.
