Are you tired of short, brittle nails that never seem to grow? Nail extensions can be the perfect solution to achieve long, beautiful nails. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of applying nail extensions using nail forms. Let’s get started!

Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary materials handy:

  • Quality nail forms
  • Acrylic or gel nail extension kit
  • Primer and dehydrator
  • Nail file and buffer
  • Nail glue
  • Nail tip cutter
  • UV or LED lamp (if using gel)

Prepare Your Nails

Start by preparing your natural nails:

  1. Remove any old nail polish or products.
  2. Shape your nails using a nail file.
  3. Gently push back cuticles using a cuticle pusher.
  4. Buff the surface of your nails to remove shine.
  5. Clean nails with a nail cleanser or rubbing alcohol.

Apply the Nail Forms

Nail forms are crucial for creating the shape and structure of your nail extensions. Here’s how to apply them:

  1. Select a suitable nail form and peel off the backing.
  2. Place the form under your natural nail, aligning it with the nail’s curve.
  3. Pull the form towards the tip of your finger, securing it tightly.
  4. Check for any gaps or loose edges and press them firmly to the nail.

Apply Nail Extension Product

Now it’s time to apply the acrylic or gel nail extension product onto the nail forms:

  1. If using acrylic, dip the brush into the monomer and then into the polymer powder to create a bead.
  2. Place the bead at the tip of the nail form and gently spread it towards the cuticle.
  3. If using gel, apply a thin layer of gel onto the nail form, ensuring it covers the entire nail area.
  4. Cure the gel under a UV or LED lamp according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Shape and Refine

Once the nail extension product has hardened, it’s time to shape and refine your nails:

  1. Remove the nail forms carefully.
  2. Use a nail file to shape the nails to your desired length and shape.
  3. Smooth out any rough edges using a nail buffer.

Finish and Seal

To complete your nail extensions, follow these final steps:

  1. Apply a thin layer of primer to the nail extensions.
  2. Apply a coat of gel or acrylic topcoat for added durability.
  3. Cure the topcoat under the UV or LED lamp if using gel.

And there you have it – your beautifully applied nail extensions! With a little practice, you’ll be able to achieve salon-worthy results right at home. Remember to be patient and take your time during each step for the best outcome. Happy nail extension application!
