How do you put on Artificial Nails?

I bought some fake nails, and I need to know how to put them on. Is the curved part 'in' your nails or the 'length' of your nails? I'M SO CONFUSED!How do you put on Artificial Nails?
My tips to get home nails to stay on.





Wash your hands properly...you want to remove all traces of grease or oils. While your hands are still damp gently push back your cuticles.





Match the fake nails to your own as closely as possible, shape them to fit the sides and cuticle area. Never go for a nail that's on the small side or it will ping off and can cause permanent damage to your own nail. If there isn't a match go a size up and file down to fit.





Score the underside of the fake nail with a nail file...cross hatch scoring, this aids the adhesion.





Lay all nails out in the order that you will be using them...on a stable flat surface, no good sitting down and scattering them.





After all this wash your hands again, your fingers and nails are constantly releasing oils.





Rub your natural nail with a cotton bud dipped in acetone, your nail should turn a milky colour, this is dehydrating your natural nail plate temporarily but really makes a difference.





Spread a small amount of good quality nail glue on fake nail and place on to your nail, press and hold for 10-15 seconds...do this with all 10





Voila... a set of fakes that should last for around 10 days








Ask the chemist for acetone, its pretty cheap but its kept behind the counterHow do you put on Artificial Nails?
You should tidy up your cuticles first, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes and push them back gently. Find the best fitting nails and do a dry run with the fake nails first. When you go to put them on for real, remember to use only a small drop of glue, there's no need to use a lot which would only make them impossible to take off later. Before you put them on it might be good to take a file and tidy the nails for a better fit. Most fake nails you buy come square shaped and pretty long so you might want to shape them. Not too sure what you mean by the curved part but it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!
