Acrylic nail application and maintenance require specific steps to ensure a proper and long-lasting result. Here’s a general guide:

1. Acrylic Nail Application:

Prepare the Nails:

Start by ensuring your nails are clean and trimmed. Gently push back the cuticles and lightly buff the nail surface to create a smooth canvas. Remove any oils or residue from the nails using a gentle nail cleanser.

Select Nail Tips (if using):

If you’re using nail tips to extend the length, select the appropriate size for each nail and trim them to your desired length. Apply a small amount of nail glue to the tip and press it onto the natural nail, ensuring a secure fit.

Apply Acrylic Liquid and Powder:

Pour a small amount of acrylic liquid into a dappen dish or acrylic liquid holder. Dip a acrylic brush into the liquid, then wipe off the excess on the rim of the dish. Dip the brush into the acrylic powder to create a bead of acrylic. Apply the bead onto the nail, starting from the area where the tip meets the natural nail and working towards the tip. Shape and smooth the acrylic using the brush, keeping it moistened with the liquid as needed.

Repeat for Each Nail:

Work on one nail at a time, applying acrylic liquid and powder, shaping, and smoothing until all the nails are covered with the desired thickness and shape. Be mindful of the product ratio (liquid to powder) and ensure you’re using the correct proportions to achieve the desired consistency and workability.

File and Shape:

Once the acrylic has dried and hardened, use a fine-grit file to shape and refine the nails. Be gentle and file in one direction to avoid excessive heat and damage to the acrylic. Shape the nails according to your preference, whether it’s square, round, oval, or another desired shape.

Buff and Smooth:

Use a buffing block or buffer to smooth the surface of the acrylic nails, removing any roughness or imperfections. This helps create a smooth and even surface for polish or other finishes.

2. Acrylic Nail Maintenance:

Avoid Excessive Moisture:

Acrylic nails are durable but can be affected by excessive moisture. To maintain them, avoid prolonged exposure to water and use protective gloves when doing chores or activities that involve water.

Be Gentle:

Treat your acrylic nails gently and avoid using them as tools to prevent breakage or lifting. Use tools or your fingertips instead.

Regular Fills:

Acrylic nails grow out with your natural nails, so it’s necessary to schedule regular fills with a professional nail technician. Fills involve filling in the regrowth area near the cuticle and rebalancing the acrylic to maintain the desired shape and thickness.

Cuticle Care:

Keep the cuticles well-moisturized and pushed back to prevent them from lifting and causing gaps between the natural nail and the acrylic. Use cuticle oil or cream regularly to nourish and maintain the health of the cuticles.

Protect from Harsh Chemicals:

When using household cleaning products or harsh chemicals, wear gloves to protect your acrylic nails from damage or discoloration.

Professional Removal:

When you decide to remove your acrylic nails, it’s best to seek professional help. A nail technician will use proper techniques and tools to safely remove the acrylic without causing harm to your natural nails.
