Tips for Painting Fake Nail Tips: Blu Tack and Toothpick

by xin on March 2, 2009

Some days ago, I tried painting on the fake nail sets I bought, and failed miserably. After receiving tips from fellow bloggers, I finally did it!

blu tack

All you need: A pack of blu-tack, toothpicks, sponge/anything that holds toothpick in place.

First of all, roll some blu-tack and stick a toothpick onto it.

Then, stick the toothpick underneath the fake nail you are going to paint.

Choose your favorite color and paint!

If you have no sponge, you can just stick the toothpick into your toilet roll to air dry your nails. Toilet roll is handy, and multi purpose.

Now, I have painted a 10 tips in pink, have not thought of what should I paint more on the nails. Maybe some konad prints + stones.

Stay tuned!

I think you might want to edit your post. In your first step, you misspelled toothpick.
