Depending on the technique you use your manicure, you will use acrylic tips or molds to give your nail the desired length. The way in which these are placed before proceeding to sculpt, both with gel and acrylic, is of utmost importance for the structure of the nail.
In the case of tips, you must choose the right size for each nail, without being bigger or smaller than this one. In case of not having a perfect fit, the tip should be filed or cut until it is perfectly molded to the shape of your nail.
The angle at which it sticks to the free edge of the nail is also important and that too much glue is not used for this.
In the case of molds, the fit must be perfect as well, without leaving gaps or spaces without touching the nail. This is because the construction material can leak there. To avoid this, you can make small cuts, shape with scissors the part of the mold that is touching the natural nail and the finger.
