[@fionahawkes1758]

Great advice 👍 thankyou x

[@NiqMal95]

Lovely

[@ioanna_vsl]

Very nice but wouldn't this thickness that is so close to the cuticle create lifting? Because if you let it like that it wont blend in to the nail bed so you'll want to pick at it but if you start filing it the vibrations might weaken the bond (I've learned this from young nails). My problem is that I make the apex too high with acrylic 😂

[@MaKillah]

Most clients don’t like the “apex” so close to the cuticle. It’s makes it very obvious when they’re growing out

[@TriniGyall30]

Middle of the nail bed is way better and makes it look more natural

[@janettemartinez4027]

What do you apply to your natural nail to remove the acrylic easily after practicing??

[@Lukiinails]

I use BarryM peel off base coat💜

[@janettemartinez4027]

[@ashleyrivera7430]

Where u get the dappen dish 👍

[@shiny_9990]

I had so much difficulty making this i cant explain 😞😭😭😭

[@nakiki_]

Is there a way that I can get a big jug/bottle of the nail liquid, I can never find a larger container of it

[@jessiibean306]

It’s so hard they cost so much what brand to you use! Everyone says Mia secret is the cheapest her monomer is not! I just got modelones to try and they seem pretty decent go on Amazon and type in nail monomer and you should find different sizes of containers and different brands

[@_neni]

What powder and monomer are you using?

[@Lukiinails]

Fantasy powder and the one monomer both from cjp nail systems

[@_neni]

Lukiinails I meant brush too but thank you.

[@Lukiinails]

Naya Ennis the brush is from glitterplanet Uk the magic stick number 10 sweetie💙💙

[@LeeTaylors]

I like my apex in the middle so it's curved

[@tgostreetglamour2429]

What size brush is that?

[@genesisleyva3293]

#10 brush

[@yulissasanchez9654]

Which powder is that’s one and the bit ? If you don’t mine me asking

[@Lukiinails]

Thats fantasy from cjp sweetie and the bit is the cross cut from atwood industries both listed in the description box ❤️

[@ykitzrae]

I’m new to all of this what’s a apex??

[@Lukiinails]

Aww its okay we all learn as we go, the apex should be the highest point of artificial nails they provide strengh and durability

[@IreNayomi]

where can i get the nail clippers? all the ones i see are small

[@melanierivera2302]

Nail supply glamour sells some straight clippers and they’re big! They have an online store :)

[@May-tai]

Dear, the apex in the wrong place. Move it up towards the nail line. Thats pretty much it. Hope u get this message

[@allaboutasia1]

you shouldn’t drag when dipping in the acrylic

[@Lukiinails]

Thank you for your comment lovely but In nail school I been tought to either drag or bounce, and bouncing is preferred but I find dragging works for me :)

[@Scarlettchaase]

The apex is supposed to be more towards the end of your finger. If you push down on the tip of your natural nail, you'll see a white spot under your nail which is the stress point. That's where your apex should be, never this close to the cuticle. The apex helps strengthen the nail...having an apex by the cuticle looks terrible and is pointless.
