What You’ll Need

  • Nail tips (various sizes)
  • Nail glue
  • Nail file
  • Nail buffer
  • Cuticle pusher
  • Nail primer
  • Acrylic powder
  • Acrylic liquid
  • Nail brush
  • Lint-free wipes
  • UV/LED lamp (if using gel products)

Step 1: Prep Your Natural Nails

Start by removing any existing nail polish and shape your natural nails with a file. Gently push back your cuticles using a cuticle pusher. Be careful not to damage your natural nails during this process.

Step 2: Choose the Right Nail Tips

Select the appropriate nail tips for each finger. The tips should fit snugly without hanging over the sides of your natural nails. If needed, file the sides of the nail tips to achieve a perfect fit.

Step 3: Apply Nail Glue

Apply a small amount of nail glue to the bottom of the nail tip. Place the tip on your natural nail, aligning it with the cuticle. Press down firmly and hold for a few seconds to ensure a secure bond.

Step 4: Trim and Shape

Using a nail clipper or nail tip cutter, trim the nail tips to your desired length. Shape them using a file, keeping in mind the desired shape (square, round, almond, etc.). It’s essential to maintain the balance and symmetry of the nails.

Step 5: Prepare the Acrylic Mixture

Using an acrylic liquid and powder of your choice, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to prepare the acrylic mixture. Dip your nail brush into the liquid, then into the powder, and create a small bead at the tip of the brush.

Step 6: Apply the Acrylic

Starting from the base of the nail tip, gently brush on the acrylic mixture, working your way toward the tip. Be sure to cover the entire surface and smooth out any lumps or bumps. Repeat this step for each nail.

Step 7: Shape and Smooth

Once the acrylic has dried, shape the nails using a file. Begin with a coarse grit file to shape the nails, then switch to a finer grit file to smooth out the surface. Be careful not to file too aggressively, as it may weaken the structure.

Step 8: Apply Top Coat (Optional)

If you prefer a glossy finish, apply a thin layer of top coat to your nails. This step is optional but helps protect the acrylic and extends the longevity of your nail extensions.

Step 9: Final Touches

Clean any excess acrylic or dust from your nails using a lint-free wipe. Apply cuticle oil to moisturize your cuticles and surrounding skin. Admire your beautifully applied nail extensions!

By following these simple steps, you can confidently master the art of nail tips application. Practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if the first attempt isn’t flawless. With time and patience, you’ll become a pro at creating stunning nail extensions. Happy nail designing!
