Putting on fake nails to make your hands look more beautiful is fast becoming a trend. You can buy cheap fake nails and make them look expensive depending on how you apply them. How can this be done? Follow the simple steps that I am giving below:
Visit a local beauty supply store. Try to find a set of party nails or full well nail tips and nail glue. When buying nails, you can pick up those which are pre-painted and choose a color scheme that fancies your taste; however, if you want to customize them, you can pick up a set that you can paint yourself. Make sure that you will pick up what will fit your own fingernails. You can tell that the size is right when the fake nails won’t hang over the sides.
If you chose the unpolished fake nails, you can decorate their tips before gluing them to your nails or paint them after fastening them. Make sure that you won’t over glue them. Remember that if you do it the wrong way, there is a risk that you might damage your own fingernails. When applying the glue, start from the center while slowly going to the sides. Do not let the glue get on your skin.
Fasten the nail close to your cuticle but make it a point to leave your cuticle untouched. Once you’re done in placing all the fake nails, file them up based on the shape that you want them to have. You would surely come up with something that will look so elegant.

I’ve always had fragile, thin & peeling nails.
They looked raggedy & would catch & snag on
almost anything.
Applying nail polish didn’t help at all. It would chip off pretty quickly so I had to find another solution to my problem.
A few years back, I tried acrylic nails but found
the upkeep to be way too much trouble/time consuming. Then happily, a few years ago, I discovered glue on nails. Problem solved!
The “Kiss” brand is my favorite. For under $5.00 you can get a pack of 100 assorted nail sizes easily picked up at Walmart or Walgreens. After that, all you need do is apply, polish, & go.
Besides the price factor, I love the “Kiss” brand
because its the only brand that makes the more natural appearing Oval shape.
I’ve never really cared for the (ugly) square
shaped nails or the (obviously) fake French Tip
style.
Since I’m an old-fashioned kind of girl, I prefer that my nails look natural instead of “expensive”.
If they were to appear expensive, it would be
obvious that they are fake & cause me to appear
to be a shallow person. Which I am not…
My problem:
Lately, I’m having a bit of an issue with nail fungus on a couple of my nails. I’m pretty sure it’s caused by moisture getting under the glue on nails.
Is there a natural home remedy I could try?
How about Rubbing Alchohol? It’s supposed to kill germs so I thought it might work on nail fungus as well… ???
Thanks in advance…

Carlene, tea tree oil prevents the fungus from glue on nails. you can get tea tree oil in a little bottle with a brush (like nail polish) and brush it on your nails before you glue them on.

I started wearing the Kiss glue on nails about 6 weeks ago. I read a tip about using brush on glue instead of the one that comes in the kit. It works so much better. No mess. no fuss and even coverage. I get about three weeks out of my nails and change colors once a week. I have a repair here and there. Also pure acetone takes them off faster. You can get all of this at Wallmart or Walgreens.
