STEP BY STEP PROCESS
- Using a cotton wool, clean the beds of your finger nails throughly, this is so as to remove excess dirt and oil from the nails before proceeding.
- After cleaning, go a head and trim the nails cuticle using a cuticle cutter, this allows for a neat building of the acrylic powder on the nail beds. After cutting the cuticles go ahead to file the nail beds, filing the nail beds allows the adhesive stick properly your finger nails, a rough surface provides a much better tension for grip basically.
- Using a nails glue/adhesive, glue down the nail tips unto the tips of you finger nail beds, after it must have adhered properly to each of your nail beds, using a scissor cut the nails tips down to the length that you want, i am going for a mid length nails in this tutorial.
- After cutting down the tips, you want to file the part where the tips adheres to your finger nails bed , This helps blend the tips into your nails and creates an even and smooth transitioning with the tips and nails.
- After filing, you are going to apply some primer to the nails, after applying the primer you are going to move unto the next stage of this tutorial which involves building the acrylic powder unto your nails.
- Here you are going to be using acrylic liquid monomer building brush and the nude acrylic powder, Firstly taking the builder brush, dip into the liquid monomer and dry off lightly on a paper towel , now dip into the acrylic powder, this would create a gelatin like consistency which you would then apply unto the nails with a stroking motion pressing ever so lightly each time to build the nail.
- Make sure all the nail is covered in the acrylic , it dries down quickly so be sure to make correction before it does. Next using the clear acrylic powder do the same process , by this time you would have a hard surface of acrylic nails, next you are going to file any uneven surface to create a smooth surface .
- After the acrylic building process you are going to go ahead to apply the colour, like I have said this was summer inspired , you can choose whatever style you like.... Using a size 2 acrylic nail brush apply the gel polish in any pattern you like, after applying the gel polish place into the UV light for about 2 minutes to cure.
- After curing, the next step is to apply a clear top coat gel polish, which would give it a glossy look of shine.
and that is the final result
