What is a nail patch?

A nail patch is a small tongue of nail polish that sticks directly to the nail. Colorful version, french manicure, printed nail art way, for the hands or for the feet ... There are dozens of nail patches for all the tastes and all the desires!

Nail patches: it's better than nail polish?

At each manicure, it's the same thing: base, two layers of nail polish, top coat and always at least one nail to start again after hanging. Not to mention the hours of drying to be sure that the varnish is dry and the burrs around the nails to clean once the finished manicure! A real hassle when you do not master the delicate art of varnish brush ...

While with the nail patch, just a base coat and our nails are ready to be "patched". No smudge or scratch possible: the varnish is dry before even being applied and does not even need a top coat to be perfectly fixed! The advantage: the nails patches are pre-cut in different formats to fit all nails, from the finest to the largest.

Nails patches: easy to install?

If the first pose of nail patches is often laborious, once the technique is mastered, the manicure is completed in 5 minutes chrono. To apply them, simply remove the protective film, stick the tab on the nail and smooth the finger to chase the air bubbles. Once well glued, simply fold over what is under the nail and pass a little lime to remove the excess.

The tips of the editorial: Do not use the whole tabs (much too big, unless your nails are 5 centimeters long!) But cut them in half. So you will have less trouble to fold the surplus to cut it. And most importantly: finish each nail (laying and cutting the nail patch) before tackling the next, you will be more comfortable!
