Tip: when applying chrome, its easier to start off with a black coat of polish. It will give it a better affect will be less patchy.

Ik this cuz of simply nailogical

[@viv.408]

small tip: when u dip ur brush from liquid to powder, do three small taps in the powder so it can form an acrylic bead so it’s easier to apply to ur nail !! also same girl tiktok all the way.

[@FionaFrills]

THANK U🥰🥰🥰

[@kaseyberube1810]

FionaFrills also don’t dip the point of the brush in the polymer (acrylic powder)! Lay the brush almost on its side and just touch the brush to the product with one side. Your beads didn’t want to let go of the brush because of that and so it just ended up staying in the brush and clumping it up. 😟

[@julieannacampos3703]

Tip for acrylic nail: first you need to buff away the shine on your nails and apply a nail dehydrator as well as a primer by doing this it’ll allow your nails to last longer. Also to get a good shape you need to file the nail to the shape desired before applying acrylic. When applying the beads do not I repeat DO NOT just dip your brush into the acrylic powder. You’re supposed to that the brush lightly onto the powder so that the powder doesn’t harden onto your brush, because what u we’re doing was getting acrylic all over the brush leading it to stay stuck in the middle of the bristles which will cause the brush to harden.

I do nails.... I work primarily with gel instead of regular acrylic, but I knew the second I saw her dip into the polymer that she was going to destroy that poor brush. 😑 this was painful to watch. I just wanted to take that brush and at least clean it off properly!

[@sleepy._.cos.3179]

You don't have to be so rude about it

[@emiellie258]

When you get a new brush for acrylic you need to bend it and stuff so it's not that stiff and the application is better and you can control it better Edit: and when you want to do glitter acrilyc dip the brush in the acrylic first and then dip it in glitter then put it on the nail or you can just mix a little acrylic and glitter and then put it on the nail

[@nick_434]

Tips: •when glueing nails on start prom pinky to thumb so it's easier, usually leaving index and thumb fingers of your dominant hand for the end. •clean your brush in between so you don't get any hardened acrylic in between the rest. It helps so you don't mess up your brush and it helps not mess up the shape of your acrylic.

[@lauriedesroches3450]

How du you clean ur brush?

[@nick_434]

@@lauriedesroches3450 use the liquid monomer and wipe it on the paper towel

[@meganbrown3060]

The chrome needs a tacky layer to stick to which is why nail techs do a colour underneath. You could also do a gel top coat underneath cause that also has the tacky layer once dried in the led lamp x

[@usern2842]

one reason why this didn't go well is because you need to use the same brand of monomer as your acrylic powder as they chemically formulate them to work together. You used Young Nails (my favorite brand) monomer with CND acrylic powder, not optimal girl! loved the video though keep it up :))))

Tip: make sure the acrylic bead isn’t too wet and when putting it on your nail,make you nail face down a bit so it doesn’t expand onto your skin :)

[@savannahlc2724]

Tips for the future: •shape the tips before applying the acrylic •form a bead shape with the acrylic and acrylic liquid • instead of using a brush to apply the glitter dip powder, apply the top coat then dip the nails into the glitter putting more top coat between each dip for a more even application. 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻

[@courtneybenkin2935]

I’m no nail tech but I have done extensive research on acrylic application and I’ve been doing polygel and gel nail polish for years now. Here are some tips if this helps: when using acrylic make sure when you take the brush out of the acrylic liquid press one side of the brush against the side lightly to get rid of excess product which will make the bead more playable and easy to work with. Also, with the glitter powders make sure you’re using white gel polish beforehand (I’m not sure if you were). Lastly, you want to make sure the most product is at the apex of the nail meaning not against the cuticle but about 3/4 from the tip if that makes sense and the rest of the nail should gradually get thinner until you reach the nail tip (idk if that makes sense at all) Make sure to wipe your brush on the paper towel each time you dip back into the liquid because the excess powder on the brush will harden up and make your brush all crusty and gross and no one wants that. MAKE SURE YOU WATCH SOME VIDEOS ON YT I HAVE FOUND LONG HAIR PRETTY NAILS SUPER HELPFUL and also just watching tutorials in general. I hope this helps!

[@courtneybenkin2935]

Also polygel is a much easier option for beginners because you can use dual forms! And cheaper!

[@kathrynmoran6491]

tips from someone self taught, when picking up your bead angle your brush slightly and gently tap onto the acrylic powder to create your bead, dont dip the tip of the brush into the acrylic powder, it will get stuck in your brush and its really hard to get out. also when you place your bead onto the nail, tilt your finger down slightly, it will encourage the acrylic away from your cuticle and help give you a neater finish. hope this helps. good luck xx

[@LauraMartinez-ws5jl]

I’m super late but when you dipped in the brush into the acrylic I was so worried for the brush 💀😭, you need to put the brush in at an angle so that the acrylic is only on one side of the brush and so the brush won’t get filled with acrylic. Also if you don’t wanna deal with polish you can always use colored acrylic! It makes it so much easier and you can do so many more designs with it. You honestly did really good for your first time tho! If you ever need mini lessons or tips or some lmk I’d love to help💕

I suggest to put a black shellac underneath the glitter so it shows more and to make the nails not look bumpy after you file with the drill buff the nail with the nail buffer and it makes it soft and feels super soft

Fiona! Can you try getting your nails done at Tipsy Nail Bar, Los Gatos is sooo good but you can get acrylics or what they normally do is dip powder then gel and get you get them almond shape??

For the glitter, you should put base color first to make it more apparent. That’s what cristine nailogical does.

[@mayasimone3333]

tip: when dipping your brush into the monomer after dipping into the powder make sure the proportions are equal. And actually put a bead on instead of putting a clump on and painting it around.

Tip: when you apply the chrome powder, use your finger to apply it instead of the silicone tool! Much easier with better pigment payoff!!

When you put the acrylic on the brush flatten out your brush and only get the acrylic on one side. Don’t leave the acrylic in the brush because it WILL harden onto the brush and it’s hard to take all the acrylic off

[@rikki2891]

i recommend working on your beading and your prep. you need to use your sanding band on your natural nail to sand off the shine of your nail and a small ball looking bit for your cuticles. then apply your tips and everything. i also recommend using a primer before adding the beads.

Hey hun! I'm a self taught nail tech and let me tell you the key is practice practice practice! Tip: watch tutorials on how to pick up a proper bead of Acrylic, and beginner videos. I must say though, not bad for a first try! Good job! Also another tip: you might do better with a pre crimped acrylic brush. A flatter oval helps you pick up a bead of Acrylic and keep it on ONE side of the brush. You don't want wet acrylic on all sides of your brush( just on the bottom/under side).. Pat, press and pull girl lol( nail tech lingo)

[@saraelias8159]

if your gel topcoat is sticky when it's done drying then played your chrome on top of it because the sticky stuff will make it stick more on your polish and then go on top of it again with the polish to seal it in!

when you do a bead you want to wash your brush first so dip it in the liquid then wipe on your towel or whatever your using. When forming a bead dip your brush in but don’t push it down, then wipe one side on the dish that the liquid is in. Also when you put your bead in your nail make sure to wipe your brush after every stroke so it won’t stick into the brush

Couple of tips, you can use the e-file to remove polish from your nails and nearly all the filing, it will save your arms, especially elbows, from hurting. Also keeping dipping the brush in the liquid and wiping it on the paper towel to stop acrylic building up on it and ruining the brush. The nails look really good for the first time you did them, I’ve seen nails techs working for months do so much worse. YoungNailsInc have really good, fun, and informative channel if you want to learn anymore about doing nails.
