A BEAUTY whizz has shared her step-by-step routine to make her stick on nails last forever – and they look just as good as acrylics.

She then held up a bottle of nail glue and a small jar of clear acrylic powder.
“What you’re going to do is you’re going to put the nail flue all along the top of the nail and you’re going to dunk it in the acrylic powder.”
Renn then demonstrated her instruction as she took the glue and painted it onto the top of her nail “like polish”.
“Make sure you get every part of it, even the top and then dunk it in. I like to do two, cause why not,” she continued.
Blowing off the excess from her nail, she dunked it a second time.
She continued: “Now your nails are going to be super hard and sturdy and they’re going to stay on for at least two to three weeks.”
TikTok user @rennolympus explained that she does this with the clear acrylics, which she then paints over with a polish.
She said it was to make it look more like acrylics as this method takes the “weird, shiny plastic” away from the look.
“I’m telling you right now, just paint your nails like acrylics, like you got them done,” she added.
In the caption, she wrote: “Have you tried this with your press-ons??”
People were quick to comment on the post as one person wrote: “Bless you! I knew it was a reason I held on to my acrylic powder I’ll be trying this tomorrow”.
Another asked: “So you glue the nail on THEN glue on top THEN dunk? Won’t the powder make the nail “bumpy” on top?”
She replied: “Yes, that’s it! You buff the nail after so it gets nets and smooth before polish”.
A third posted: “SO UR TELLING ME ALL I NEED TO DO IS BUY CLEAR NAILS AND BUY SOME ACRYLIC POWDER,” to which she replied: “Yes girl!!”
While a fourth added: “thankyou for this tip. got a wedding Thursday and really don’t have time to get nails done and got press on. so going to do this.”
