How to make remote nail tips (self-made)

Let's have fun making the perfect tip for you!

The process consists of five steps.

1. Take a nail mold
2. Create a nail model
3. Let's edit the nail model
4. Apply the gel
5. Finish off your chips with your favorite art

 

The recipe instructions are in the video and the important things are explained in text, so be sure to read them before you start.

Please also pay attention to the key points in the video!

First, let's check the nail terminology that appears in the description.

[Notes]
  
※Note about clay‼️
The material is silicone. The difference in color between the nail mold and the model clay is the difference in hardness.

The first edition currently comes in vanilla for the nail mold and berry for the nail model, but there are many other colors available. Different color clays appear in the video.

If the room temperature is high, store it in the refrigerator and take it out just before use.
However, since the amount is much less than that used by dentists, it will warm up quickly from body heat and harden quickly, so it is important not to hold it in your hands for too long and not to warm it up .

If you want the hardening to occur more slowly, use less grey clay!

If you use about 3/4 the amount of gray instead of the same amount, the hardening will be slower.
(There is no need to measure precisely, just leave a little bit of the grey in the container when you take the clay out with the stick, or if you are using a jar, scoop out a little less with a spoon.)

Let's get started!

1. Take a nail mold

1. Prepare vanilla clay.
2. Take out the vanilla and grey clay and prepare to knead.
3. Once you combine the two colors, place the clay on your nail within 30 seconds. Check that your nail is covered while you place it on, then wait 2 minutes without touching it again before removing it.
4. If you find it easier to have a support to place the rolled up clay on, please use the 10 Coffin Short Tips included in the case.

2. Make a nail model

Let's check the following points again:

1. Prepare the vanilla nail molds, berry clay, sticks, non-cream (with a white circle label on the bottom), and brush (any clean brush will do) on the table in advance.
2. Apply a rice-grain-sized amount of non-cream to the brush and then apply a thin layer to the entire inside of the nail shape.
3. It is easier to use the sticks on both sides if you mark them in advance as R1 (right thumb) and L1 (left thumb).
4. As with vanilla, press the clay firmly into the nail mold within 30 seconds of mixing the two colors to prevent any air from getting in, then quickly attach the stick. If you keep the bottom flat at this time, it won't roll around when you put it in the light.
5. Peel off after 2 minutes.

3. Process the nail model (using a machine)

1. Wipe off the non-cream from the nail model thoroughly with a wipe soaked in ethanol.
2. Remove unnecessary parts of the nail model.
3. This is done so that the tip is the same size as your nail, allowing you to apply gel all the way to the edge.

*If you don't use a machine to file, apply gel and then file to create the tip. Apply gel all the way to the edge so that the brush can reach the cuticle, then file away any excess gel to finish the tip before proceeding with color or art.

The part to be scraped is red.

Processing of nail model (lengthening and repair)

1. To add length, just like before, mix two colors of clay together to add length.
2. Use a small amount of clay from the spare bag or from the clay for little fingers.
3. You can use either clay for nail molds or clay for nail models, but if you want to carve it with a machine, use clay for nail models. If you want to make it about 3 mm long, a piece of clay the size of a grain of rice will be enough.
4. Place the kneaded clay with your fingertips on the tip of the model and press it down with your fingertips to make it fit the model, then stretch it as if you are making a thin film to create a connection.
5. The key is to make the free edge slightly thinner.
6. Even if there is no length extension, if the tip is chipped or there is a hole due to air getting in, we can fix all concave parts to make them flat.

Gel application

 

1. Apply two thin coats of base gel.
2. For the first layer, apply vertically as close as possible to the cuticle line.
3. Hardening
4. Apply the second layer thinly and thoroughly from end to end.
5. Hardening
6. Apply a polish-type non-wipe top coat gel to smooth the surface.
7. Hardening
8. We will create art using color gels and polishes that you have on hand.
9. Finally, apply a non-wipe top coat or top gel again. If using polish, finish with your own top coat.
10. In the case of gel, it hardens.

* There is no need to wipe off either the base or top coat. The top coat gel in the video is a jar type, but it has now been changed to an improved polish type.

Finally, use a file to smooth out any looseness around the tip and it's finished!
