Acrylic Nails for beginners | Full Process | i tried doing the 3 ball method

[@micaelafvpedro8909]

I love that you work so clean, you look like an experienced nail tech honestly. I would have never thought that you're self taught.

[@divinedarkfemininetarotbyt3457]

Micaela F V Pedro self taught people are always better techs in my opinion because they pay better attention to details instead of depending too much on a instructor telling them what to do

[@itsjustamanda7798]

This is the first video of hers I’ve come across and I thought she was a professional. That’s crazy I want to teach myself how to do nails because I pay heavy attention to detail and I feel like I’d be really good at it. Also why I’m looking at videos 😂

[@MrzGEISHA]

I feel like once you master the apex/cuticle area , everything else will blend perfectly. I use to struggle so bad with putting beads near cuticles bc it would run on either side of ridges. But I realized I was working too runny.. now i like my beads MED wet and it works every time.

[@shonamagouyrksaffold4109]

Me too,,I'm the same way

[@shaniaxx1603]

I’m 13 and do acrylic nails I find it fun and I like the way u measure the nails

[@shonamagouyrksaffold4109]

How good are u at such a young age? I think that is awesome!!

[@shaniaxx1603]

Shona Magouyrk Saffold I would say I get the thickness right and it isn’t lumpy just getting the shaping right is hard and thanks x

One of the best simple ways explained how to apply your acrylic!!! ❤ Thank You!!

[@Psyki_Sim]

This the first nail tutorial I watched entirely, you did a great job and I can’t wait to try the 3 ball method

[@AshleighInez]

Hopefully my nails come out as good as yours! After the corona passes everybody gone be able to do nails 😭

[@AndreaTejeda]

Ashleigh Inez. fr lol

[@chattyema8340]

I'm self teaching myself since being in lockdown to do my own

[@racantu22]

new subbie here. girl, for not being a pro you did really well. this looks like pro work to me. great job and keep these videos coming. I enjoyed watching the whole process.

[@dianeferre1273]

Thank U for showing a very smart way to measure nail tips using a nail form! I would like to add that with an acrylic application, tips dont need to be completely buffed out (shine removed).

[@ceeauraa8962]

Perfect application! I struggle with 3 ball methods 😭 I find my self filling so much in the end.. this was so helpful! 💕

[@AndreaTejeda]

Sierra Belle I’m so glad this helped! 😊

[@jiya_6610]

Measuring the nails with the dual form is the best idea 😍❤️

[@mizzarica7234]

You taught me something new with putting the acetone in the monomer so it won’t be runny

[@thepynktee8755]

To measure the nail with the nail forms is so smart. Thanks for sharing!

[@jessikalittle7085]

I keep rewatching this tutorial. It’s so straightforward and easy

[@kilmkke5806]

You are AMAZING! I’m a beginner and this video really is soooo perfect ! Thank you! Very detailed and not to mention video quality A1!!!! it’s close up so we can actually see what you are doing ! love ittt

[@addietorres5614]

being self taught is better in my opinion cause you know what you like and you know what you don’t like when a ‘professional’ nail tech does your nails which someone else is probably bothered by the same thing. so you know what if the most comfortable strategies. keep it up 🖤 i’m 14 &’ self taught

[@cherishdelorme4383]

I'm a newly trained nail tech and i have to say your nail application is so much better than mine 🙈 I struggle with applying the acrylic to thin and lumpy and when I go to file I have such a mess,, I'm going to try the acetone in the monomer and see if that helps, definitely a new subscriber here 💕

[@shonamagouyrksaffold4109]

Cherish Sheehan I have been doing acrylic since early 90's and mine are just like u described lol...I actually quit because it made me feel so bad, UNTIL I DISCOVERED POLYGEL! I love them

[@gabiirangel1078]

hey since your a trained nail tech can I ask you if you can just use a normal top coat that is used for nail polish? Or do you have to use the type of top coat she has?

[@cherishdelorme4383]

@@gabiirangel1078 For nail polish on regular nails you use a basic top coat. For gel polish you use a gel polish top coat that you cure in a UV/LED lamp.

[@gabiirangel1078]

Cherish Delorme What do you use for acrylic nails when putting a top coat? I’m trying to learn how to do acrylic but I don’t know what type of top coat you use could you tell me? Please and thank you!

I also do my nails at home . Saves me a lot of cash

[@Danielle-up6pq]

Well done, your nails look so good. I am a newly qualified tech and still have a long way to go. Takes lots of practice and patience. But you are an inspiration, thank you

[@asiagladden3080]

I wouldn’t never thought to use the form to measure the nails! Thank you

[@siouxhazeldon2545]

Thank you for sharing this post, I can never get the right consistency of monomer to acrylic powder ratio right. I resorted to polygel to get the longer play time with the product. I will have to practice more. Maybe trying smaller beads & not using a too dry bead will be the answer, I just won't have to make the bead too wet. I'm determined to get the right consistency. I'll try with my practice nails until I get it right. I'll keep playing this video over & over until it all works out.thanks again. ☺️💖💅

[@muadaniela5444]

You* should do more stuff like this or product reviews!❤️ love your content it’s my go to😍

[@GoddieAshwoodCove]

I have watched this video at least 8 times.. I'm so scared of messing up, you make it look so easy!!! I have a couple questions please.. What size brush is best? Do you wet the brush after you've placed the beads? Thank you in advance for any help and your time!! 💕

[@AndreaTejeda]

Karen Hull i feel like a size 10 is perfect! It’s not too big and it’s not too small. I don’t wet my brush right after I place my beads. I wet my brush if the acrylic starts sticking to it or if my brush is leaving streaks on the acrylic

[@GoddieAshwoodCove]

[@sandraharo864]

What size brush are u using ?? Btw great video made me notice some mistakes I was doing with my application 😅

[@carlawright9407]

What was the acetone trick for?. Looking good.

[@adriana1731]

okay you killed this 👏🏽👏🏽

[@gabiirangel1078]

hey I have a quick question, when your blending in the nail tip instead of using the nail filer can you use the hand file?? Would it work the same?

[@LishaVictorian]

These look amazing!

[@neomoloi1637]

Hey Andrea, thank you so much I've been looking for this kind of video for some time. Just one question, I just started using efile, can I use drill bits from anywhere or does it have to be the same brand as the efile? Hope my question makes sense. New subbie by the way, love your videos. From South Africa

[@AndreaTejeda]

Neo Moloi the drill bits don’t have to be the same brand as your efile

[@feliciasantos471]

I loved how the consistency of the acrylic was! Almost like poly gel but still a little runny. You stated that you add acetone to ur monomer for the acrylic to not get too runny is that correct? How many drops should I add? I would like to try this technique out too

[@AndreaTejeda]

Felicia Santos yes that’s correct, I add about 3 drops of acetone

[@itsjustamanda7798]

Barley even had to file down the nails because it was such clean work 😍

[@olivia6302]

this was very helpful!!

[@kathyworld09]

Please respond 🙏🏼 I just received the carbide bit (rainbow) from your link, but when I went back to check on amazon right now I noticed they have the same one in ceramic (pink). Does it matter the material or would ceramic be safer? I’m a beginner 😋

[@katari8748]

After you put on the acrylic if I don’t have that drill can I use a file to smooth it out 🤔

[@AndreaTejeda]

KATARI yes, you can definitely just use a file!

[@chantewaters150]

Flawless video 😊

[@carlawright9407]

I thought what's with the foil form. Very smart way to gauge length.

[@jeancarter7704]

I’m new but do you need to add a clear powder after you add the color powder and before you file down the color acrylic?

[@AndreaTejeda]

Jean Carter You would apply a thin layer of acrylic on your nails before you add colored acrylics to prevent staining. After applying the color you would encapsulate it and build your structure with the clear acrylic. These steps are not necessary if you’re only using cover acrylics

[@loepaheijndermans4864]

Hi i’m a nail artist beginner trying to do some online shopping. Which kind of drill bits should i buy? Is it only used to remove Acrylic ??

[@giselleserrano5149]

Is the medium grit drill bit more course than the fine grit drill bit ? Or less ?

[@AndreaTejeda]

Giselle Serrano it’s more coarse

[@emilybazaldua7277]

what’s the ‘soak off no wipe top gel’ for?? (: by the way u did fantastic

[@triciashomeliving9190]

I like this method and love your videos. I’m a beginner but for some reason I find the acrylic to set in place too fast. I use Mia secret and it’s supposed to be medium set time. What prooducts do you recommend for beginners?

[@evajemison7765]

Just simply thank you.

Do you need the nail primer?

[@WhatWouldJellyDo]

Thank you for sharing this! Acrylic application is so satisfying to watch 😍 I’ve only ever tried the kiss acrylic set and i hate it 😩 it sets so quickly! I need to get my hands on the mia secret acrylic. It looks like it gives you a good amount of time to play with it. I wanna be this good!!

[@AndreaTejeda]

jesssleeps yes Mia secret is so much better than the kiss acrylic! I really recommend adding a couple drops of acetone into the monomer though because Mia secret tends to be super runny

[@saresthetique]

Hey just a question I’ve been using polygel and i feel like it lifts after a few days is acrylic nails better?

[@AndreaTejeda]

Sarah Ellalee I can’t really tell you which one is better since I’ve only used polygel like twice. But the lifting could be due to not prepping the nail correctly or not sealing the cuticle area during finish filing

[@paulcanvas]

[@sara-ql1xs]

Pretty! Could you give tips on doing your dominant hand? Also, how long did it take you to learn this?

[@AndreaTejeda]

sara 15 I honestly still struggle quite a bit when doing my dominant hand. The only good tips I have is to work with smaller beads of acrylic and then when you file do all the moving with your dominant hand. Like just hold the file with your non dominant hand and move your dominant hand back and forth. Hope that made sense lol. This was actually my first attempt at doing the 3 ball method but I’ve been doing my nails for nearly 2 years

Lovely love it
