You just need to design a pattern on your PC and print the pattern on artificial nails. Then, paste the printed artificial nails on your real nails. This will give you the most enchanting 3 dimensional look.

If you have long nails, various forms of 3 D stickers, acrylic paints and nail crystals can be pasted directly on your nails to have a 3 dimensional look. But, if you have short nails, it’s better to have the effect printed or prepared on artificial nails and then paste them onto your real nails.
