Primark PS... Almond Gloss Nails Application

Every pack of Primark's PS... £1 nails includes 24 nails and nail glue. Upon opening the box, you'll find there are no instructions regarding application (or how to get started) but it's pretty self-explanatory, starting with nail prep. I treated myself to a mini DIY manicure to ensure my nails were trim, buffed, and clean — in other words, an ideal base for false nails. I selected the nails I wanted from the pack — aligning the sizes to my real nails — then cracked open the nail glue (hot tip: you'll need scissors to do this).

A little goes a long way when it comes to the glue, and the last thing you want is glue residue on your skin and nails, so be sure to attach the nails one by one, applying a dot of glue on to the fake nail and the real nail, before pressing it into the nail bed. When attaching, I focused on the base of each nail to ensure the widest part was the most secure. This process took about 10 minutes. If it's your first time, the process may take slightly longer, and you may benefit from having an extra set of hands.
