How to apply acrylic nails:





鈥?First off all you need to prepare your nail by giving it a really neat manicure,


to remove all the dead skin and to smooth out rough edges.





鈥?Then remove all previous traces of polish and acrylic


with a non-acetone nail polish remover.





鈥?Roughen nails up with a filing block, and trim nails back to the skin,


not too far though. The reason of cutting your nail back to the skin


is that if the tip of your acrylic nail decides to break,


it's not going to take half of your nail off with it.





鈥?Set your acrylic nail tips out next to your glue ready to apply.





鈥?Apply just a drop of glue on the tip, from the bottom up


to the little indentation where the edge of you nail should go.





鈥?If you apply the acrylic nail wrong you can quickly remove it


by soaking it in water.





鈥?Adjust the acrylic nail's length to suit your needs,


using either an artificial nail tip cutter or toenail clippers.


File down the rough edges as well, and compare them


with the rest of your nails, making sure they're even





鈥?Pour the liquid acrylic into your dish, this stuff is very potent


so open a few windows as it can give you quite a headache when you apply it!


Open you container of powder, dip your brush into the liquid acrylic,


wipe both sides on paper towel. Then dip the brush in the liquid again


and wipe against the side of the container as you would with your nail polish.





鈥?Dip the tip of the brush into you powder; a little ball of product should form.


It should be damp, but not too wet, apply this ball on the edge


of the acrylic tip and your natural nail.





鈥?Quickly spread it out and smooth it in, but be careful not to flatten it though,


wipe your brush to remove excess product.





鈥?Then repeat the steps over and over to build and copy the natural curve


of your nail, apply a coat to the tip as well, just not as thick.


However be careful NOT to apply any acrylic onto the cuticle area!


You could develop a mold or fungus under the nail if it lifts.





鈥?After your acrylic has set, and dried, (it should take no longer than ten minutes)


file the sides of the nail and close to the cuticle with a grit nail file,


then shape the nail too look natural.





鈥?Smooth your nail with a filing block then scrub them with soapy water


and a nailbrush to remove any dust and filings.





鈥?Remember to apply some nail oil on your cuticles as you just exposed


them to chemicals and buffering and they will need to retain their moisture.





鈥?However every two weeks you will need to reapply some acrylic


to your nails as your nail will grow and move the acrylic nail up.How do you do your own acrylic nails and what do I need do it with?
You could always buy the premade ones at your local drugstores. It cost maybe a dollar more for the ones with designs such as flowers on them.





1. Buff your nails by shaping them, cleaning them, getting rid of any ';leftover'; nail polish.


2. Take out the nails from the package and arrange the ones that you are to use for your nails.


3. Apply the glue at the base at the back of the nail.


4. Place it carefully so that the glue does not stick to your skin or make it uncomfortable and press gently but hard enough for the nail to stick.


5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all nails.
