In the frantic pace of life it is quite difficult to combine work, home, caring for loved ones with high-quality personal care and most often the choice is not in favor of the latter.
Long nails are very beautiful, but due to constant worries about the house and contact with household chemicals, it is quite problematic to grow them. Yes, and many professions are not combined with the length: doctors and teachers in most cases, go with short nails, and in offices with a strict dress code, the length is also often forbidden.

How to make false nails
Glue false nails at home is very simple, however, some skill you still need. For fashionistas who do not have the appropriate experience we give simple recommendations.
Selection of false nails
To begin with, we advise you to buy a couple of packages at once so that you can choose from. It is best of all that the packages are transparent and soft: then you can still try on the nail on your nail plate in the store and make sure that it will fit the shape of your own nails. Usually, finished nails are made in a square shape, but it is quite easy to change it with a regular file. Keep in mind that the better the material from which the nails are made, the more natural they will look.
Nail preparation
Before proceeding with the gluing of the nails, you should put your hands in perfect order; Of course, you can neglect the manicure, but without it, the result will be quite different, and false nails will not be so effective.
After you have processed the nail plates, removed the cuticle and cut off the horny side bolsters, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and dry them, then prepare the patch plates and proceed directly to the application.
Nail fastening
Each artificial nail from the back side is evenly coated with glue, after which it is pressed against the nail plate. In this position, it is held for about 10–15 seconds so that the glue can grab and dry. Thus, you should do with all the remaining nails.
Stick nail - this is only half the battle. After the adjustment of the nail plate begins. It should be done carefully and diligently, otherwise false nails will look untidy.
First you need to decide on the length and shape: It should be noted that short nails, protruding above the tops of the fingers no more than 2-3 mm, look much more natural and attractive. The plastic is cut with a margin, and then with the help of a nail file, tips are adjusted to the required length and shape.
When work on one finger is completed, it can be used as an example for the rest: hands should be identical, therefore, when working, it is necessary to focus on the same shape of the nails.
It is very important to remove the boundary between the patch and native nail plates, for this use nail files and buffs. Only after that you can begin to decorate the nails: they are usually painted with decorative varnishes and covered with glitter, rhinestones or beads.
Separately dwell on how to remove tips. It's simple: just hold your hands in hot water for about 20 minutes. At this time, the glue dissolves and the linings are quickly and easily removed. If the nail still holds, put your finger in the nail polish remover for a few seconds, in this way the plates are removed very quickly.
How to make your own false nails
If desired, you can try to make false nails on their own, most often the material for their manufacture is scotch tape. You will need a one-sided adhesive tape, you can use a transparent or color depending on your individual preferences.
A piece of scotch is cut and wrapped around the nail and cut off the strip so that it is twice as long as your native nail, and then pasted entirely to make the nail look glossy. Then press down on the side of the tape so that it is bent and looks more natural. If the tape is too wide or long, it should be cut to the desired size.
If the tape is thin, you can apply a second layer, but try to do it as carefully as possible. The outer part of the tape is covered with decorative varnish, and sticky - transparent.
As a rule, such “decors” are resorted to by children, as well as women, who want to test one or another nail design on their hands.
In conclusion, we give a little advice: Do not use overhead plates all the time, so you can harm your own nail plates, so let your hands rest every 2 weeks, taking a break for treatments that will strengthen the nails and restore their natural strength and shine.
