Applying artificial nails without glue involves using adhesive tabs, double-sided tape, or nail wraps to attach the nails to your natural nails. This method is less damaging to your natural nails compared to using glue, as it doesn’t require harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to UV light. It’s also a more temporary solution, making it ideal for special occasions or short-term wear.
Using adhesive tabs or double-sided tape is a straightforward process. Clean your natural nails and gently push back your cuticles. Select an adhesive tab or piece of tape that is slightly smaller than your natural nail. Remove the backing from the adhesive and align the tab or tape with the base of your natural nail. Press down firmly to secure it. Finally, apply the artificial nail on top of the adhesive and press down for a few seconds to ensure a strong hold.
