Video & Tutorial: Applying Gem Nail Tips

Have you ladies ever gone to a salon to get your nails done, whether it be a simple manicure or acrylics, and they charge you an extra $3-$5 for a nail design? Well why pay extra when you can do it yourself for cheap!

All you need is:
- Nail stickers/gems, whichever design you like
- Clear nail polish
- And a steady hand!

Just apply your gem sticker/design at the desired location, press, and paint on a top coat for it to stay....and voila! If you want to get more creative, you can buy a striping nail polish (which is made with a really long thin brush) so that you can make stripes along your nail line, or just random designs.

    I saw the sally's price tag on one of the packages. Did you get the gem nail tip from Sallys too? They look so beautiful. I saw some girls with these before and totally thought that they had it professionally done. LOL

    Those are really cute! I see them at beauty stores all the time, but I usually just take the lazy way out and use pre-designed fake nails. :P
