How to Make DIY Fake Nails Out of a Face Mask & Baby Powder
Today I have a super creative nail tutorial for you. I will be showing you how to make DIY fake nails out of a face mask!
During this pandemic, we all have dozens of face masks handy in our homes, so this is a fun way to use them creatively.
Tools and materials:
- Face mask
- Scissors
- File
- Nail glue
- Baby powder
- Nail polish
- Makeup brush
1. Cut a face mask
Cut a face mask in the general shape of a nail. No need to be detail-oriented with this step.
2. Measure
Line the face mask against your nail to measure the width.
3. Trim
Trim and shape the face mask according to your nail size.
4. File
File your nail thoroughly.
5. Apply nail glue
Apply nail glue to the back side of the face mask.
Then, apply nail glue directly to your nail.
6. Add the face mask
Apply the face mask to your nail and hold it in place until it sticks.
7. Trim
Cut off the end of the face mask to your desired nail length and shape it into a nail shape.
8. Apply more nail glue
Apply nail glue to the entire outer part of the face mask.
Let it dry and harden, then apply the nail glue a second time.
9. Apply baby powder
Pat baby powder into the nail in a thick layer.
Brush off the excess baby powder.
10. File
File the entire nail thoroughly to make it smooth.
11. Apply more nail glue
Apply another layer of nail glue to the entire nail.
Once the nail dries, you will see that it has become waterproof and strong.
12. Apply polish
Apply the polish of your choice to the nail.

Can't wait to try it!😎😃
Can't wait to try! I can never get fake nails to fit without a lot of filing and fussing because my hands are small and so are the width of my nails. Now I can customize the nails! WhooHoo!!!
