Properly Position Your Artificial Nails
Position the artificial nail close to the cuticle. Make sure it does not touch it though. Press down lightly and don’t take off your finger just yet to allow it to stick properly.

File the Edges
After it sticks properly in position, you should proceed to file the edges that are rough.
