How to Put on a Necklace With Long Nails Like a Pro?
If you love wearing long nails, you know how they sometimes get in the way when you're trying to put on a necklace.
Whether it's a lobster claw clasp or an S-Hook clasp, long nails can really make things difficult. But don't worry - with a few simple tips, you can learn how to put on a necklace with long nails in no time. Are you ready to become a necklace-putting-on pro? Let's dive in and get that necklace on point!
How to Put Them on With Long Nails?
Got fabulous long nails that you're afraid they get ruined or might get in the way of your necklace game? Fear not, because here's the scoop on putting on necklaces with your fantastic nails.
Use a Magnetic Clasp
A lot of necklaces come with lobster claw clasps, which can be tricky to open and close if you have long nails. If you're having trouble, try switching to a magnetic clasp instead. Magnetic clasps are much easier to open and close, so they're a great option if you struggle with long nails. You can go to a jeweler and have them switch out the clasp on your necklace.
Use Your Thumbs! Not Your Nails
This is a skill that long nail wearers need to master—using your thumbs instead of your nails when you're putting on a necklace. When our nails are short, we tend to use them to grip things like necklaces and open clasps. But when our nails are long, that's not always possible.
It might take a little practice, but eventually, positioning your fingers to get the nails out of the way and using your fingertips instead will become second nature. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to put on necklaces with long nails like a pro!
Wear A Pair of Gloves
If you're struggling with putting on a necklace with long nails, you can always try wearing a pair of gloves. This might seem like a strange solution, but it can actually be quite helpful. Wearing gloves will give you more grip and make it easier to open and close clasps. Plus, they'll protect your nails from getting scratched or damaged.
The Bobby Pin Hack
If you're in a pinch and don't have gloves handy, you can always try using a bobby pin to help you put on your necklace. Just open the bobby pin and use it to grip the necklace clasp. This will give you the leverage you need to open and close the clasp without damaging your nails.
How to Untangle a Necklace?
We've all been there – that moment when your favorite necklace turns into an unsolvable puzzle. But fret not, because untangling necklaces is like solving a mini adventure! Start by taking a deep breath and finding a peaceful, well-lit space. Here are some of the most common methods to follow:
1. Baby Your Necklace
Do you have a knot that's acting all rebellious? No problem! Grab some baby powder and give that knot a sprinkle shower. Coat your necklace generously with the powder – like giving it a silky slip 'n' slide.
Then, grab a safety pin or needle and gently pull the knot from the center outwards. Keep sprinkling that magic powder as needed until the knot surrenders!
2. Get Oily
Are you out of baby powder but still need some untangling magic? Time to get oily! Dip a cotton swab into baby or olive oil, and lovingly dab the knot. For stubborn tangles, give the knot a soothing massage with the oil.
Once you've worked your oil wizardry, rinse off any residue with mild soap or jewelry cleaner, and pat your necklace dry with a paper towel.
3. Use Windex
You read that right: Windex, the window cleaner, can be your necklace's knight in shining armor! Apply a touch of Windex using a cotton swab, then put your necklace in a small container on top of something that vibrates (like your washing machine). Let the vibrations work their magic, and soon, those tangles will be waving the white flag. Gently massage and untangle, then give your necklace a refreshing bath with mild, soapy water and a final dry-off with a paper towel.
4. Put a Pin in It
Low on supplies but high on determination? Grab a safety pin, needle, thumbtack, or even a tiny screwdriver. Insert your chosen tool into the heart of the knot and start wiggling gently. It's like convincing that knot to have a change of heart! Use two pins or your nimble fingers to slowly untangle the chains, being oh-so-gentle to avoid chain breakage.
As with all things, practice makes perfect. With patience and the right tricks, you can master the art of putting on necklaces with long nails and untangling knots like a pro!
