How do fake nails work?

# How do fake nails work?

## 1. **Preparation**.

- Before applying fake nails, the real nails need to be cleaned and trimmed to ensure a smooth surface for better adhesion.

- Cuticles are pushed back to prevent lifting and applying a thin layer of nail dehydrator can help the fake nails stick better.

## 2. **Choosing the right fake nails**.

- Fake nails come in various shapes, sizes, and materials such as acrylic, gel, or press-on nails.

- Select the type that best fits your lifestyle and desired look.

## 3. **Application**.

- Acrylic nails: A mixture of liquid monomer and powder polymer is applied to the real nail and shaped before it hardens.

- Gel nails: A gel polish is applied to the real nail and cured under a UV or LED light to harden.

- Press-on nails: These come with adhesive tabs or glue for easy application without the need for drying time.

## 4. **Finishing touches**.

- Once the fake nails are applied, they can be shaped, filed, and buffed to achieve the desired length and smoothness.

- Nail polish or nail art can be added to enhance the look of the fake nails.

## 5. **Maintenance**.

- Fake nails require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best.

- Avoid using the nails as tools to prevent lifting or breakage.

- Refills or touch-ups may be needed every few weeks to fill in gaps or regrowth.

## 6. **Removal**.

- Fake nails should be removed properly to avoid damaging the natural nails.

- Soaking the nails in acetone or using nail wraps can help dissolve the adhesive for easy removal.

- Gently buffing off any remaining residue and moisturizing the nails afterward can prevent dryness.

In conclusion, fake nails work by providing a temporary and customizable way to enhance the appearance of natural nails. By following the proper steps for preparation, application, and maintenance, fake nails can be a fun and versatile option for achieving different nail looks. Remember to remove them carefully to keep your natural nails healthy and strong.
