How to put on fake nails
My professional manicure done at home in under 5 minutes :D
As a homemaker and a craftier, I always end up with ugly nails. I can never grow them long enough without chipping.
I can never grow them long as they’ll be in the way of my work. So I have to live with ugly nails… @_@
Fake nails
I was at a pharmacy today and saw some amazing set of fake nails but they are so darn expensive. I almost wanted to get them but decided against it as they are just too expensive for a beginner like me. Since I have never put on fake nails before I am not going to spend a fortune on them only to end up ruining them!
Then I went to Daiso and saw even prettier looking fake nails and what’s more, they are only RM5! Without hesitation I grabbed a box!
Artificial nails from Daiso
Nail tips seal
Initially I got the nail glue but I am afraid that I’ll ruin what is left of my already damaged nail further so I opt for the nail tips seal instead. Though it wont be as long lasting as the nail glue, it will make them stay..
I started by finding the right size nails by checking them against my own nails. They should cover the nails without hanging over the sides.
Right size artificial nails for me :D
I attached the adhesive seal on the back side of the artificial nail.
I removed the seal and adhere the fake nail onto my own nail. Nice? I love it! But I find it not strong enough so ..
I placed the adhesive on my nails too! So now I have adhesive on BOTH the artificial nail and MY own nail! @_@
Remove the seal..
Placed the artificial nail onto my own nail
And PRESS!
I got all five fingers done in under 5 minutes! That is a record time I tell you! I’ll never paint my own nails again!
I did light housework with those nails and they stayed! Good nails! haha… but of course, I can’t be mopping the floor with those! >_<
P/S: The fake nails can be reused if we use the adhesive seal but not when nail glue is used. If you used nail glue, you’ll need to get the glue remover to dissolve the nail glue to remove it.
Great pink nails eh…
wow! Looks easy, should try one day.
sooo nice!! LOL!! i've tried before but the fake nails is either smaller or too big for my fingernails!! so geram!!
I think the seals are not strong enough to hold the artificial nails if we want to do housework =.="
Hahaha.. guess what,i've just done some manicure on my sumandak.. just check out my latest post sis.. ^_^.v.. But,not that pretty as yours la..
first, this post is only for lady or girl…
i feel… if put one this fake nail, i wonder how to cook or wash the floor…. heheehe
Choi Yen,
These nails are not used on daily basis. I only put them on when I have an event to attend, say.. dinner! :)
Nice manicure, initially thought it was done in the salon. But I prefer real one, because the fake one tends to fail on me :( I guess I need more practice.
One thing Bananaz got to take his hats off for all the ladies. Able to work well with long finger nails. Bananaz would feel some discomfort when the nails grow longer got a feeling they are kacau-ing the daily routines..haha.
Carol if it is too big u've got to file it first kan? thank goodness mine all have the right size! :D
Haha.. Angie you kenot lah! How u gonna make your jewelry then? o.O
Ooooh.. lucky Sumandak! Okay. will check out your post! :D
Voon,

Yvonne,
Unfortunately I can never grow my nails that long… =_=
U say! I can't even type with those nails!!!
Testing
test test.. :D
I prefer real nair art cause I can choose any patterns I want. But fake nails these days are quite alot, and easy to put on too~
I always have fear dealing with these artificial nails cause I'm scared they will come off with my real nail if I don't handle them well D:
Wow! Sounds so easy. I've always wanted to put on fake nails but the thought of putting on the glue scares me. So now I have to go to Daiso and get those stickers so the nails i bought aren't wasted, haha! :) Thanks for the great tip!
nice nail wor…. me too, I can't keep long nail as I unable to type on keyboard with it haha. So all the time my nails are short and neat. I keep once b4 during my wedding LOL
It is very nice. I am thinking to buy fake nails now. Thanks for sharing.
I got one set, but no need to use nail tip seal… the nail art, behind is adhesive… Been using for many times and it's still sticky! I love it!~ But only can use it, if only I didn't bring both my kids to any function……
Hello,
Where to buy nail tips seal ? Thank in advance :)
Hi Mary,
You can get the nail tips seal from Daiso itself or any mani/padi shops around. You may even get it from the pharmacy. Hope it helps :)
