In the tide of fashion, handmade press-on nails have become the new favorite of many beauty lovers with their unique charm and convenience. Today, let us walk into the wonderful world of handmade press-on nails and explore their production process.
Material preparation
To make handmade press-on nails, we first need to prepare various materials. Nail tips are the basis, and there are different shapes and sizes to choose from to suit the nail shapes of different people. In addition, we also need glue, various nail polishes, nail decorations such as stickers, rhinestones, pearls, etc., as well as tools such as scissors, sanding strips, sponge strips, nail brushes and nail tips holders.

Polishing nail tips


First, hold the nail tips firmly with one hand, and hold the rubbing bar with the other hand, then grind the nail surface and the front and back edges of the nail tips from left to right at a constant speed, parallel to the nail tips.
Polishing the nail tips
Polish the nail tips with a sponge strip, then place the nail tips on the nail tips holder and use a brush to brush away excess dust.


Apply base coat
Choose a good quality base coat and apply it evenly on the nails tips. Base coat can protect the nails tips and prevent them from turning yellow. It can also provide better adhesion for subsequent nail polish. After applying the base coat, shine a lamp to dry it completely.

Apply nail polish
Choose different colors of nail polish to apply on the nail tips according to our preferences. We can apply one layer or multiple layers to achieve a fuller color effect. Wait for each layer of nail polish to dry before applying the next layer. If you want to create special effects such as gradient and smudge, you can use a sponge to apply the corresponding nail polish on the nail tips and slowly pat it to create a gradient effect.


Add decorations
When the nail polish is dry, we can start adding various nail decorations. Stickers, rhinestones, pearls and other decorations can add unique charm to the nail tips. Use tweezers to carefully stick the decorations on the nail tips. We can combine and match them according to our own creativity to create our own personalized nail art.

Apply a topcoat
Finally, apply a topcoat to make the nail tips smoother and more beautiful, while also protecting the nail polish and decorations, and extending the life of the press-on nails. After waiting for the topcoat to dry completely, a beautiful handmade press-on nail is ready.
