Nails

Beautiful… right down to your fingertips!
These days, having beautiful hands is just as important as having a beautifully made-up face. That’s why artificial nails are the perfect solution for today’s active women. Whether you prefer your nails long, short or embellished with designs, you can get the look you want in no time at all. Artificial nails are also a great way to help stop nail biting.

Years ago, if you wanted artificial nails, you had to go to a specialised beauty salon or see a professional trained in nail application—nothing was available through pharmacies or department stores. Thankfully, times have changed. Now, women have access to a wide assortment of easy-to-apply nails. All it takes is a little practice to learn to apply your own artificial nails. And, if you feel inclined to change styles, you can remove them for a new look—even several times a week if the mood strikes you!

Here are a few essential steps you’ll want to follow before applying your nails:

1. Make sure your natural nail is clean. Remove any trace of nail polish to ensure proper adhesion.
    
2. Use an antiseptic cleanser on and around the nail.
    
3. Apply the provided glue to your nail and lay the artificial nail overtop (select proper nail sizes beforehand). Press the nail firmly in place for 30 seconds for a guaranteed hold.

Applying artificial nails takes about 10 minutes.

When you are ready to remove your nails, remember to use an acetone-free solvent to dissolve the glue. Never rip your artificial nails off since this could damage your natural nails. If necessary, gently lift the sides of the nail and add solvent. Then, use solvent to clean your nail and remove any residue or leftover glue.

You’ll have gorgeous hands for next to nothing! To see our collection of artificial nails, stop by your PROXIM branch anytime and meet with your beauty advisor.
