Boxed nail competitions can anyone advise!

[Sara Evans]

Hi all I'm thinking about entering my first boxed nail comp, i was wondering if anyone had any tips for sticking the tips to the box (if you stick them to the box) so that they don't come off during transport or is it just part of the fun entering to make sure they don't or you will look a wally!!

Also has anyone seen the long tips that a lot of entrants from china seem to use? I have been doing searches on these things but hitting a brick wall.

Thanks

Never done it but would imagine spray mount - an aerosol spray adhesive sold in most good art shops would do the trick. If you can't source the tips in the UK try doing a search for "long nail tips" in one of the famous auction sites, there will be loads of em!

Affinity do the long tips here Shocking Long Tips Clear 10pk at Affiniti I would just try to stick a bit of acrylic to the underside of the nail and the box, trying not to get it be seen. I'd practice that with a normal tip and a bit of cardboard first! Good luck if you do decide to enter!
