What You'll Need

Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare Your Nails
Start by removing any existing nail polish and gently pushing back your cuticles. Clip and file your nails to your desired length and shape.
Create the Nail Bed
Dip your nail brush into the liquid monomer and lightly tap off any excess. Dip the brush into the acrylic powder and apply a small amount to the tip of your natural nail. Shape it into a C-curve to create the nail bed.
Build the Nail
Repeat step 2, applying layers of acrylic to build the length and thickness of the nail. Use a file to smooth out the surface and shape the nail as desired.
Refine and Polish
Once the nails are built, use a buffer to refine the shape and remove any imperfections. Apply a top coat to protect and enhance the shine.
Tips for Success
- Work quickly, as acrylic sets quickly.
- Use a light touch and avoid overworking the acrylic.
- Don't be afraid to make mistakes, it's part of the learning process.
- Practice on fake nails before attempting on your own.
