Introduction

Artificial nails have become a popular solution for those who want to improve the aesthetics of their nails. While nail glue is a popular choice for securing these artificial nails, there are alternative methods to ensure the false nails stay glue-free. In this article, we'll explore innovative approaches to making sure your gel nails, stick-on nails, or short nails stay firmly attached, all without using traditional nail glue.

Double-sided nail tape

One effective way to keep false nails securely in place is to use double-sided nail tape. This adhesive tape is specially designed for nails and provides a strong connection between your natural nails and artificial nails. How to use:
  • Prepare your nails: Start with clean, dry and non-greasy natural nails. Trim, shape and polish your natural nails to ensure a smooth finish.
  • Cut and Apply Tape: Cut double-sided nail tape into small strips that match the size of your fake nails. Apply tape to your natural nails.
  • Attaching the false nails: Carefully press the false nails onto your natural nails, making sure they are perfectly aligned. Push them firmly to secure them in place.
  • Trim the excess tape: Cut off the excess tape that may be visible around the edges of the nails.
  • Sealing with clear nail polish: Apply a clear nail polish or top coat to your artificial nails and your natural nails for an extra layer of security and to prevent the edges from lifting.

Double-sided nail tape is a strong and reliable alternative to nail glue and is known to hold well even during everyday activities.
