OMG, I’ve been wanting to do this for so long! I successfully made my own set of fake nails using tea bags and here’s how I did it!
First off, you’ll need a few supplies: a box of tea bags, a pair of scissors, nail glue, and of course, a nail file. You’ll also want a couple of colors of nail polish to customize your fake nails.
After you have all your supplies, it’s time to get started. The first step is to take each tea bag, hold it up to your nail and mark where it needs to be cut. Then, use your scissors to carefully cut each bag to fit your nail, ensuring the cut is even.
Once you’ve cut each tea bag, it’s time to apply nail glue. This will ensure your nails don’t shift or slip off. Starting at the top, add a few drops of nail glue to each nail bed and spread it around. Then, carefully attach each nail and hold it in place for a few minutes while the glue dries.
When the nails are done, it’s time to customize your look! If you want to, you can add a bit of nail polish to give your nails a unique touch. You can also use washi tape or other decorative items to add to your nails, like rhinestones or gems.
Once your nails are finished, you’ll have your own set of beautiful, DIY fake nails. It’s a fun and creative way to give yourself a new look!
I wanted to make sure they were durable so I used a nail file to buff the edges and make sure everything was smoothed out. This ensures the nails will look their best and hold up against chipping and cracking.
Since I was looking for a subtle look, I decided to apply a single coat of clear polish. This gave me a glossy shine that was subtle enough for any occasion.
I was really proud of the end result. Not only did I get to DIY my nails, but I also got to make them with something as simple as tea bags! It’s such a great way to show your personality without spending too much money.
Once I was done, I was instantly in love with my nails. Not only did they look great, but they were also super durable and stayed on for weeks. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make!
The next time you want to change up your nails, why not try making fake nails with tea bags? Who knows, you might just end up with a new look that you’ll love!
