DIY french acrylics |
Tools needed:
acrylic liquid & powder, acrylic brush, primer, emery board, buffer, nail tips, top coat
Steps:
- find matches for all 10 nails, buff your natural nails a little to allow the tip to properly adhere
- apply glue to the falsies and press them onto the very tip of your own nails.
- cut them to the desired length
- use an emery board to even the tip with your nail bed
- apply primer to nails
- apply clear acrylic to the white tip, and pink to your nail bed, let dry
- again use the emery board to make the entire surface smooth
- use a 3-sided buffer for extra smoothness and shine
- apply desired number of top coats and you're done.
Sounds simple enough but if you are a novice it can be quite the time-consumer. I suggest you watch a few Youtube videos before you give it a go. Here's an awesome one I stumbled upon not long ago.
She uses an awesome technique (the nail form). But I didn't have any nail forms so I just did it the old fashion way. Whatever you do, DON'T use a regular nail tip as a nail form lol.
Have you ever done your acrylics at home?
XOXO,
