15 DIY Manicure Tips and Tricks Perfect for Novices
14. Use a Good Nail Glue
Regarding long-lasting nail art with embellishments, the quality of your nail glue will make all the difference between a manicure that lasts for days and one that starts to break apart in hours. Securing rhinestones, studs, or other lovely things calls for professional-grade nail glue investment. Still, you have to know the right application techniques if you want to save your natural nails. Starting with a base coat as a protective layer between your natural nail and the glue, always use a toothpick or nail art tool to gently add embellishments to place a small amount of glue exactly where needed, therefore avoiding contact with the flesh around your nails. Let every component completely dry for optimal durability before applying a top coat. Since these products are meant to be both strong and nail-friendly, choose a nail adhesive especially designed for use in nail art.
