Seeing the glue under artificial nails?

I have been using glue-on nails, because I am letting my thin, brittle nails grown out after having acrylics in a salon and I figure the fake nails will protect them without further damaging them.





Anyhow ... I buy the pre-made french manicure ones and they look great, except for I can see where the glue spots are under the nail. Any tips on how to prevent this while still making sure the nail is still secured onto my nail.Seeing the glue under artificial nails?
im a nail technician. the reason your nails are brittle is because lack of oxygen. as your nails grow they die, at the cuticle they are softish, the longer they get harder they get. so by putting a cover keeps them soft and you'll have the same problem when you take them of. but sometimes nail techs file them to much. close one eye and look at your nail side ways, is it all the same lever or is it ridged and higher at the cutical? nails grow at 1mm (sorry metric!) a week so you can sus out how long it will take to get them at full thinkness.


is so bad they are splitting on you, the best thing i can suggest is going to a good salon and getting manicures. light shiney buffing stimuales the blood in the nail matrix and helps them to grow faster and stronger do. lots of cutical oil massaging to does the same thing.





but if you feel you need to, place the drop of glue on the cuticle end of the fakey, put down on the cuticle first and press it down toward the tip, if it still spills use a cotton wool tip dipped in acetone straight away for the clean up.

What's going to happen when you want to put a new set of nails on? You're going to rip off the ones you have on, and your nails are going to still be thin and brittle. Just let them grow out ;)





If you're not going to listen to me and still wear tacky nails from the drugstore, spread the glue evenly on the nail. Make sure you're not doing a little wave thing or whatever with the glue.
I had the same problem! Just make sure you cover the entire nail (no air bubbles) and press down hard for 30 seconds or so. But, pre-made ones will make your nails brittle as well. So, when you do take them off, file them to your liking, and put plenty of nail hardener on them!





Another trick that I found handy was painting on a light manicure color over top. Wipe the excess from the white part, and it will camouflage the bubbles. Try like a light pink, or whatever is close to a mani color.
