When you are planning to add a charm to your finger nail by piercing it you must first realize you will be putting a hold into your finger nail. For this reason it is important to make sure your finger nail is long enough to have a needle pressed through it and not touch your skin as the needle will need to be very hot to go through your nail!

The first thing you will need to do is hold your needle with a pair of pliers. With your needle held firmly in the pliers hold the needle about an open flame until it is very hot.

Once the needle is glowing red you will need to press it into your nail. Pick a spot that is in the center of your exposed nail, the area hanging over your finger. You will need to be approximately 1 mm away from the edge of your finger nail to keep the finger nail from cracking.

After you have a hole completely through the nail you will need to insert an o-ring into the hole. It may be easier to already have your charm connected to the o-ring. Using the pliers tightly press the o-ring together to close it.

I suggest using charms with smooth edges as sharp or pointed edges can get caught on things. I also suggest painting your nail prior to inserting the O-ring as it will be a lot easier and you don't to worry about getting paint on your charm or o-ring.
