How To Apply False Nails

Today's post will be all about nails! If you know me, you'll know I'm a sucker for neat, manicured nails. I wear false nails pretty much all the time and if I'm not, it's just to give my nails a break to strengthen up. I love the fact that they are so strong and rigid and don't chip for weeks. For me, they are much easier that going to the salon every few weeks or having to re-paint my chipped fingers every other day at home. It has been requested for me to show you all how I apply them so many times so here it is!

For all my tips and tricks on how to give yourself an at-home manicure, as well as applying some lovely nails, just watch the video below:

  5. Please can you do a post about how to remove them or what to do when they start to peel off? I wore some once - very similar to the set you used I think - and after I had a little sort of ridge line across the bottom of my nail where the bottom of the false nail was (it had to grow out) and not sure if this was caused by me removing them incorrectly? Thanks for this post and the video, love all your tutorials and chats! Thank you x

  16. I'm seriously thinking of wearing fake nails now !! Thanks for the helpful video Sara =) !!

    Little question: Does these come off easily ? Because at my work it would be so easy to lose them >__< and also, do you have to have a UV lamp to stick them or is it just to make it more shinny ? And if you remove te nail polish to change the colour, does the fake nails come off because of the nail polish remover ??

    Thanks a lot =)

  23. I watched your video and instantly went out to boots and bought the false nail set! (it was £8.50 for those asking, for 200 nails and glue!!) I have had them on since wednesday and so far so good, the colour hasn't chipped (I painted them myself and usually my nails chip after about an hour!) and they still feel very sturdy and stuck! totally impressed with these nails!!

  26. I have psoriasis under my nails and it looks really ugly so im too embarrassed to get them done at a nail salon anymore even though they have prob seen worse, but stick ons are a necessity for me. Has anyone got any tips for removing excess nail glue if too much comes out as that can really spoil the effect I try to break it off but can sometimes pop nail off too.

    http://loveallthingspretty.blogspot.com/ started this blog this week not much on it yet feedback from yourself or your subscribers would be great hope im doing it right
