I bought a box of soft nail tips from Daiso, only RM5 and it is definitely a steal. Downside is, it has not pre-glued.
They have about 5 sizes of nail tips. And this is the 2nd largest one which is roughly the size of my thumb.
Put it on your nail to measure to see if it fits or requires further side trimmings.
Ahh this size fits me quite well so only top trimming is need. For me, I use nail clippers to clip off about 1cm and buff the nail. And as you can see from my picture, the curve is just nice 😀
The original size was about 2cm long and i thought it was too long for me. So i trimmed about 5mm off. Long nails are really really not for washing long hair.
After you have trimmed all your 10 nails. The pain started here. I HAD NO CLUE ON HOW TO PAINT IT AS THE NAIL KEEP RUNNING AND FLYING as i could not secure the nail in place!
Got myself a big mess, and gave up.
Thank goodness for the very sweet Yahui to have posted the tips on painting the nail tip for me.
So, next post will be my painting experience. Now, anyone wants to buy fake manicured nails from me? 😉

wow..that is definitely FUN!!!! 🙂 Like i said over the comment section on my blog, I saw some people glue it a bit on a stick like toothpick or small bbq stick so you can hold the stick while you paint the nails 🙂
wow you’re fast. i find that i only need to trim the thumb nail, the rest are pretty much just nice. since they’re fake and can be taken off in a jiffy, let them be long! wakakaka. 😛
ohhh looks like fun leh.. hee hee
Or you can just stick the nails to a toothpick so you can paint the nails by holding the toothpick and you can stick the toothpick onto a sponge to let them dry. ^^
hrmph…i want those nails but i cant find a good glue. how to remove fake nails anyways? without leaving those scratchy glue residue…
Nikki: thanks for the tips too! damn looks like im the only dumb person in this world who does not know how to paint on fake nails =/
yahui: yeah how do u remove them effectively? but they cnt be recycle anymore right? since i think the nail polish removal will smudge the design
ohmypetticoat: thanks! love the sponge idea 😀 😀
Traclyn Yeoh: i have bought some glue..but havent tried it yet, will let u know the verdict next time!
hmmm, the glue thing ah. need to research a bit first, coz it’s a pain in the ass hor. 🙁 will let you guys know when i got an eureka moment. XD
