Hi, the next step that we are going to be going into is just some different techniques on how to clip the artificial nail once we have already apply it to the natural nail. Starting with my artificial finger, your real finger, what we are going to do is we got the artificial nail here. Now I got 2 different items, a majority of people are probably going to have nail clippers but these are a special nail clippers for artificial nails. You can buy these at basically any type of beauty supply stores but these are professionals ones. What you can do is you slide, you can see right in here. What you do is you slide this right in here and it has a razor on this side. And see how it goes up it will clip that nail right off but before you do that you want to make sure that you got a the exact length that you want. Because if you cut it too short then you are going to have to start all over but what I'm going to show you is how to do it with clippers. What you want to do is that you clip on one side, clip just like that and we are going to go over here to the other side, clip just like that. Then you want to get the end of the nail and you just pull it strait up just like that, moving back and forth and that would come right off and that is just 2 techniques on how to clip a artificial nail.
