Want to make your toes look amazing without the work of painting and trimming them all time? Missing a toenail and want to cover it up? Fake toenails are the latest trend, as they allow anyone to have great looking feet for summer.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Lay the toenail over your own toe. Clip the nail with nail clippers to fit your toe perfectly if it is too wide.

  2. Step 2

    Apply glue to the back of the nail and the back edge. Set the nail at the edge of your toe's cuticle line. Make sure the nail is lined up correctly and will fit the width of your toe--without it overlapping the ridges or cutting into you.

  3. Step 3

    Lay the nail flat on the toe and adjust if necessary. Starting from the back, start to lightly press it down.

  4. Step 4

    Repeat with the rest of the nails. Clip the ends of the nails as needed. File the nails well as if they were real. This will make them look even more natural.

  5. Step 5

    Paint the nails or decorate them as you desire. That's it! You just applied fake toenails.
