How to make a nail piercing yourself

Not everyone has the opportunity to visit a professional to make such nail design. Therefore, this type of piercing is often performed at home.

The procedure is not complicated, it can be done at home, using the tools at hand. The nail plate must be strengthened with bio gel, if you already have nails, you can immediately get to the procedure.

You can buy all the necessary tools in a speciality store. It is very important to sterilize instruments and gems before the procedure and wash your hands thoroughly.

1. A base coat of varnish in a thickness of two to three layers is applied on the nail surface. Each new layer of varnish must be completely dry before applying a new layer.
2. Carry out marking of the subsequent puncture on a free edge.
3. Then, install a drill on the marking, and frill a hole perpendicular to the nail plate.
4. Insert an earring into the hole and fix a clasp.

It is important to choose the right jewel. The earring should not go too far beyond the plate, otherwise, it will cling and cause discomfort.

Useful tips

Although this nail design is considered safe (of course, if done correctly), care must still be taken. It is better to remove the piercing during homework or at night. After all, sometimes both natural and extended nails can be hit hard.
