1.     Measuring Your Nails Properly

One of the biggest mistakes is guessing your nail size or skipping the measuring process altogether. This can lead to an awkward fit, lifting, or discomfort. Always measure using a tape or paper method and refer to the brand’s sizing chart!

Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Wrap a piece of paper around your nail to mark the width.

2. Measure it with a ruler (in mm or inches)

3. Refer to the size chart to find your perfect fit.

2. How to Apply the Perfect Nail

With proper preparation, your nails should last up to 3-4 weeks per application. By prepping your nails, you can enjoy long-lasting wear that rivals a salon manicure without the high cost or time commitment.

 

Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. First, Push Back Cuticles

2. Gently Buff Your Nail Surface

3. Make sure to clean your nails

4. Use the adhesive of your choice

 

3. The Perfect Nail Shape

It’s easy to get drawn to trendy shapes like stiletto or coffin. While they’re super fun, they may not always be the best fit for your fingers or your lifestyle. It’s okay to experiment and play around with different shapes and lengths, but it’s also important to find one that complements your natural nail bed and feels comfortable for your daily routine.
