Rita Ora, the singer of the song “Let You Love Me,” introduced us to the hole-punch nail craze. We had a lot of questions because the tips of her manicure had heart-shaped holes in them. She had natural nails, were they? What led to this? What matters most is how we can incorporate this hole-punch manicure into our lives.
The answer is gel extensions, which Ora’s LA-based nail technician Britney Tokyo developed alongside Aprés Nail. Although there are only heart-shaped cutouts at the moment, other manicurists appear to be enjoying the hole-punch craze, so you can anticipate seeing different designs in the future. With Maby, you can take the initiative in everything.

Please follow the nail tutorial:
Step 1: grab some acrylics
It would help if you chose the appropriate paints first things first. The artificial nails you purchase for this nail trend must be long enough to cover your natural nail once you poke a hole through them, preventing any of the nails underneath from showing through the hole. Straight through the hole should be visible to you!
Moreover, what should we remember? Buying additional nails in bulk. Make sure to have plenty on hand so you have room for error because it’s likely your first attempt at hole-punching your nails won’t be ideal.
Step 2: find your nail size
Consider each finger’s nail size carefully. As previously indicated, having extras in each size will allow you to make mistakes without severe penalties. After choosing the right nails, lightly file the tips to remove any protruding edges.
Step 3: punch some holes
The enjoyable part is now upon us—holing your acrylics! Whether you favor stars or hearts, there are many different ways to choose. The ability to customize this nail style is its best feature. You are welcome to wear many shapes or hole-punch your accent nails. You are in charge!
Punch the hole as closely as you can to the acrylic’s tip when drilling it, but not too close that you accidentally break the acrylic. This is where experience will be helpful!
Step 4: apply your fake nails
It’s time to put nail polish on your prepared nails. Before pressing each acrylic onto your natural nail, dab some nail adhesive on the acrylic’s base. Before moving on to the following step, give the glue some time to dry.
Editor’s note For a one-time event, would you like to wear hole-punched nails? Apply your nails quickly using sticky adhesive tabs rather than conventional nail glue. When the time comes, it’ll be simpler to remove this!
It’s time to pull out the polish for your nails! Apply a few applications of a lovely shade to your acrylics—you know what to do. You can choose to use a single color or a variety of hues while painting your nails. Try a more complex nail painting technique like water marbling if you feel fancy.
Step 6: seal your mani
You wouldn’t want your lovely hole-punched nail art to fall apart too soon, would you? Not! A top coat can seal your nail’s appearance and prevent undesirable chips.
Step 7: show them off
I’m done now! No problem, right? It’s time to flaunt your fashionable manicure to the world now that you have one. Grab your phone, and take a quick Instagram photo. It will be a smash, we guarantee!
