Artificial nails are surely a good solution if you have a broken nail, and can definitely make your hands and nails look elegant and beautiful at all times. They add an extra touch to your hands, and are temporary so you can remove them anytime. They are easy to put on, and can be done at any time whether it's right before you go to bed or right before you go to work. As well, they can be applied at home without any professional help!

If you choose the correct fit, these nails can appear natural and totally convincing. Also, consider finding a way to get rid of the plastic it has to it too. In order to get the correct fit consider filing the nails; as well, find a nail that is as close to the nail size you have. Artificial nails usually sell in a box of twenty - twenty-four nails, and there is bound to have one either fit perfectly or close to it.

Apply your nails with nail glue; don't use other kinds of glue. Nail glue can be found in many stores, and even on EBay! They can be quite cheap, and are extremely efficient. Plus, remember we want the best for our nails, and nail glue is made specifically for them. On the bottle of the nail glue, they'll usually write what you should use to remove the nails. Keep in mind to never remove peel of the nails without first soaking them in nail polish remover as it can cause some major harm to your nails.

You can choose of either soaking your nails in nail polish, non-acetone polish remover, or acetone polish remover before taking the nails off. Keep in mind, that acetone polish remover can harm your nails because of the chemicals it contains. Acetone polish can weaken your nails, and damage it; results may vary for different people.

And lastly, don't wear artificial nails for a long period. Generally, around 2 weeks or so is good enough. After 2 weeks, take the nails off, and let them breathe some air. Wearing artificial nails can suffocate your real nails underneath; thus, timing is important. If you're worried whether the nails would harm your original nails, wear if for a short period of time, like a week for example, and let your nails breathe again.

Artificial nails are great for parties as they add an extra touch of elegance, and beauty to your hands.
