step 1- To do nail extensions, first clean your nails and remove any old nail polish. Now correct the shape of the nails. If there are too many cuticles, trim them. After this, use nail primer so that the surface of the nails is thoroughly cleaned and it becomes easier to stick the nail tips or acrylic powder.

Step 2 – After preparing your nails, select nail tips that fit the length and shape of your nails. Apply the tips on the nails one by one. Keep in mind that the tips should not be too big or smaller than the size of the nails. Using nail glue, stick the tips well on the nails. If there is excess glue on the finger, clean it with a cotton cloth.
