How to Pierce Your Nail at Home
This will teach you how to pierce your own nail at home. A nail piercing allows you to put a charm onto your nail. Pain-free.
Steps
-
Turn on lighter.
-
Hold needle over fire[be careful not to burn yourself!] until it turns orange
-
Turn off lighter.
-
Press needle to the nail. Start on the side you normally wouldn't paint if painting your nails; this is to insure you won't be poking your needle through your actual flesh. Make sure it is at least 1mm away from the tip so your nail doesn't crack.
-
Apply pressure and twist until the needle is in.(it is good to push it all the way in and back out again, to open up the hole a bit more)
-
Slide your needle in and out a few times until the movement is smooth and easily done.
-
Remove needle and go in from the other side(into the hole you just made), and slide it in and out until the movement is smooth[again].
-
Take out needle
-
Repeat the process with the thumbtack(there is no need to heat up the thumbtack; this process is to widen the hold so that your charm will fit in better)
-
Remove thumbtack
-
Try your charm on; make sure it fits into the hole(if it doesn't fit, you may want to use something a bit wider to widen the hole even more.. just remember that if you get too close to the tip the nail might crack)
-
Buff your nail so there won't be any rough edges where you pierced your nail.
-
Paint your nails(if your nail polish gets stuck in the hole, just use your needle to open the hold up again--it shouldn't be hard since you widened it with the thumbtack.)
-
WAIT FOR NAILS TO DRY COMPLETELY
-
Apply charm with a pair of pliers.
Tips
- Don't do this if you have short nails. It is safest and will work best if your nails are as long as in the pictures.
- If you wish to remove the piercing, you will need to cut/file your nails until it is gone.
- Painting your nails isn't necessary, but it makes the piercing look a lot better.
- If the needle/thumbtack won't go in, you probably need to heat it up more.
Warnings
- Be careful not to pierce through flesh
- When putting hot needle through nail, make sure it doesn't touch the skin[unless you want to be burned.]
Things You'll Need
- Long nails(if you try this on short nails.. it won't work, and it will be very painful.)
- Needle(sewing needles are fine)
- Thumbtack
- Lighter
- Charm
- Pliers
