A nail artificial kit is a comprehensive set designed for creating beautiful, salon-quality artificial nails at home.
It typically includes everything you need to apply, shape, and maintain artificial nails. Common components of a kit are:
-
Artificial Nails: Pre-shaped nails that can be applied to your natural nails. They come in various shapes, lengths, and styles (e.g., almond, square, stiletto).
-
Nail Glue: Strong adhesive used to securely attach the artificial nails to your natural nails.
-
Nail File and Buffer: Tools for shaping and smoothing both your natural nails and the artificial ones.
-
Cuticle Pusher and Clippers: Used for prepping your nails by pushing back and trimming the cuticles.
-
Nail Clippers: For trimming the artificial nails to your preferred length.
-
Decorative Accessories (optional): Some kits include extras like nail polish, rhinestones, or stickers for nail art.
These kits are suitable for both beginners and experienced users who want to achieve professional-looking nails at home without visiting a salon.
How to Use a Nails Artificial Kit:
-
Prepare Your Natural Nails:
- Start by cleaning your natural nails thoroughly.
- Push back the cuticles using the cuticle pusher, and trim any excess skin using the cuticle clippers.
- Buff the surface of your natural nails with the nail buffer to remove shine, ensuring better adhesion of the artificial nails.
-
Choose the Right Size:
- Select the artificial nails that match the size of each of your natural nails. Trim and file the edges if necessary for a perfect fit.
-
Apply Nail Glue:
- Apply a small amount of nail glue to the back of the artificial nail and also on your natural nail. Spread the glue evenly but don’t use too much to avoid overflow.
-
Attach the Artificial Nail:
- Press the artificial nail onto your natural nail, starting at the cuticle and pressing downwards. Hold it in place for about 10-20 seconds to ensure it adheres properly.
-
Shape and Trim:
- Once all nails are applied, use the nail file to shape and smooth the edges. If the artificial nails are too long, use the nail clippers to trim them to your preferred length.
-
Decorate and Finish:
- Apply nail polish, top coat, or any decorative accessories like rhinestones or nail art stickers if included in your kit.
- Allow everything to dry completely before using your hands.
-
Maintenance:
- Avoid using your nails to open hard objects or apply too much pressure to prevent damage.
- If an artificial nail becomes loose, simply reapply nail glue to secure it.
-
Removal:
- To remove the nails, soak them in acetone or nail polish remover for about 10-15 minutes until the glue dissolves, then gently lift them off.
Tips for Best Results:
- Always clean and prepare your natural nails properly to ensure strong adhesion.
- Be gentle while applying the nails to avoid air bubbles under the artificial nail.
- Store the kit properly to ensure the longevity of the tools and glue.
