DIY acrylic nails !
Before and After
Step 1: Get all your tools and equipments ready! Wash your hands and trim your nails as short as possible !
Step 2: Select an acrylic tip for each of your fingers paying attention to which number fits best .
Step 3: Place a small amount of nail glue on the border of your acrylic tip as indicated below and stick it at the top of your nail.
Step 4: Repeat the previous step for all your fingers and once the glue has dried, cut the acrylic tips to your desired length using your acrylic nail clipper .
Step 5: Using your sanding nail buffer block, slightly sand your natural nails then add a coat of acrylic bonding agent (only on the natural nail area, not on the acrylic tip). This will favor maximum adhesion .
Step 6: Place a small amount of acrylic monomer (liquid) in a small glass dish and dip in your brush, then quickly dip your moistened brush in your clear acrylic polymer powder, a 'bead' will form !
Step 7: Gently place the 'bead' formed on your (nail + acrylic tip) as shown below and use your brush to spread the acrylic mixture as evenly as possible over the entire (nail + acrylic tip) while avoiding the cuticle area. You may need to create more 'beads' if necessary .
Step 8: Repeat step 7 for all your nails and allow your acrylic to harden completely. This will take about 3-4 minutes ! Once hard, use your acrylic nail file to sand the coarse areas.
Step 9: Continue sanding the coarse areas until the surface appears relatively straight (like a normal long nail).
Step 10: Use your sanding nail buffer block (from coarse to smooth) to further smoothen your acrylic nails .
Step 11: Use your shiner nail buffer block (from smooth to shine) to now 'shine' your acrylic nails !
Step 12: Complete with a top coat (clear nail polish) and voila, your homemade French manicure acrylic nails are done !
For your special occasions ...
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING !
