• Find your correct size.

• Ensure that your own nails are prepped – remove old nail polish and file your own nails.

• Don’t forget about your cuticles – gently push them back before you apply false nails but don’t use cuticle oil as it interferes with nail glue.

• Consider the curve of your false nails.

• You will probably have to reshape the bottom of the nails – use a nail file and manicure scissors to mimic your actual nail shape.

• Allow the glue to dry fully and set.

• You have to remove false nails properly using specific products or soaking in nail polish remover to prevent damage.

• Show your nails some TLC when you take off your acrylics – strengthener and cuticle oil essential.
