Soft girl nails are super cute, beginner friendly, and inspired by Pinterest nail designs.
This gel-x nail application goes through nail preparation, application, and design without a drill.
Nail Preparation
- File down the nails to the desired length.
- Keep the nails decently short for easier application.
- Apply cuticle softener and gently push back the cuticles.
- Use a cutter to remove anything that still sticks out.
- Clean everything with a nail cleanser.
- Make sure the nails are ready for the application.
Measuring the Gel X Nail Tips
- Measure the Gel X nail tips before application.
- Use short almond nail tips.
- Make sure every tip fits properly before moving to the next step.
Preparing the Gel X Nail Tips
- Apply a tiny bit of tip primer to the inside of the nail tips.
- Rub the product in until it feels tacky.
- This gives the tips a grip without filing the inside.
- Make sure not to use too much product.
- The nail tips are ready once the surface feels tacky.
Preparing the Natural Nails
- Apply dehydrator to the natural nails.
- Make sure the nails are clean and oil free.
- Apply the same tip primer used on the nail tips.
- Allow everything to dry properly before application.
Gel X Nail Application
- Brush soft gel tip adhesive onto the nail.
- Scoop a little more adhesive onto the edge of the nail tip.
- Place the tip a few millimeters away from the cuticle.
- Slowly press down until the gel covers the full nail.
- Cure once the tip is fully in place.
- Cure again in the big lamp after all the nails are finished.
Filing and Blending
- File down the nails after curing.
- Focus on the small gap between the natural nail and the nail tip.
- Blend everything together to make it look like one nail.
- This helps prevent lifting.
Base Coat Application
- Apply a thin layer of base coat.
- Concentrate on the gap between the natural nail and the gel-x tip.
- Seal everything properly before starting the design.
Soft Girl Nail Design
- Use soft and cute colors for the design.
- Create a Pinterest-inspired nail look.
- Add bow details for a soft girl aesthetic.
- Change the bow color if desired.
- Use colors that match the overall nail design.
Top Coat Finish
Apply a non-wipe top coat. Cure until the nails are completely finished.
Enjoy a glossy finish without a sticky layer.
Cuticle Oil and Final Look
- Apply cuticle oil to nourish the cuticles.
- Restore moisture around the nails.
- Enjoy super easy and affordable gel-x nails at home.
- The finished design looks soft, glossy, and Pinterest inspired.
