I also paint the false nails and let them dry thoroughly before putting them on. Then once firmly stuck in place, I trim and shape it accordingly
It’s a fairly long process, but as most of you girls will know, it’s an enjoyable one too
I use pre-glued but give my nails a thorough cleaning with acetone before I apply the nails. That seems to do the trick.
I do however like Helen_Bell’s idea of applying superglue to the stick-on pads that I also have. I’m going to give that a go for sure
