Hyper realistic press on nails tutorial! Most tutorials I saw weree for in person appointments or acrylic nails, so I tried out a few methods to make a press ons version and found this to be the best! Some tips: - work in layers! You don’t want the nail to be too opaque or else it won’t look real when applied. - the French tip part itself (the grown out nail) should stay a thin layer to allow light to pass through (similar to a real nail) - the base area should be very slightly translucent so that the color of the actual nail bed is able to pull through in the press on when applied. Too opaque and it will look too fake as the color won’t make the real nail bed color. - when applying flex tint (the base color), overlap the French tip line slightly to “blur” the transition. Before curing, go in with a milky white to further blur the line. Repeat 3 times! - matte top coat 3 times to add strength and then buff with a fine buffer.
