You guys saw me do polygel nails...so now I’m tackling acrylic! 💗 How did I do?! 0-10

[alexardilla]

I wish I had the patience for stuff like this 😂

[annamarusarz]

Y’all saying you don’t believe it’s her first time because she already had the tools

Why would you do this without the right tools? I ordered everything I needed before I did it for THE FIRST TIME.

[hdillz]

As someone who has been doing nails for about 10 years this is by far the best attempt I’ve seen by someone with no experience. Ladies please don’t get it twisted she is making it look a lot easier than it is, my first try took 4 hours and was a total shit show. 🤣

Lisette : “This is not a tutoriel”.. Me: 👀... GIIIIRRL!!, I’m about to get the products and follow your directions

[grchips]

These are so perfect and beautiful. It looks like you got them done professionally 😁

[jaielizabethh]

Everyone’s learning to do their own nails now. We about to put nail salons out of business 😂😂😂

[heartpalpytations]

She got me wanting to do my own acrylics and I still can’t even paint my nails without getting polish on the skin around them 😭😭

Lissete: Disclaimer guys this is NOT a tutorial it's just me trying out acrylics for the first time
Also Lissete: So you wanna just use a little bit then work your way up....

just a couple pointers, dont dip your brush into the monomer and then tap on a paper towel because youre loosing product, instead hold it on the inside of the glass you are using abpove the monomer that way you are not wasting the monomer and you have no excess. hope this helps xx


another ting is when you are smoothing or whatever with monomer be very concious about not putting it on the skin because you can actually DEVELOP and allergy to the monomer which is very bad because like you said you love acrylics, also make sure to be concious about your apex/structure and thickness, its all in the structure


these things are also important if you want to start doing clients nails also if you do long nails on a client if you plan of making a small buisness then hold the base of the nail when filing its alot more comfortable so that way they don’t have sore and red nails after the session
x

Also I feel like it has to be said that people should be moderately gentle with the clients hand because I’ve had my nails done quite rough before and it was a very unpleasant experience which should not be the case, it should be calming and relaxing to take a break so make the client feel special and be gentle as much as possible whilst still maintaining a good quality of work, with that combination you will start to have returning customers gaining those nail tech client relationships you hear about all the time, especially in movies 😂😂💖

i just want to clarify that i had this comment intention to help you with your nails to provide some information you may or may not know, hopes this helps keep doing what your doing cuz those nails are looking fabulous!!

[Soggy_waffels]

A tip that might help you with your acrylic application is if you dip the brush in once then just gently brush one side off and then use the other one the is mostly wet :)

[heiitsyei]

Nail tech here! GIRLLLL these are great!! First time??!?! I wish my first set of nails looked like that lol you should seriously consider practicing more and become a nail tech 🤷🏻‍♀️ im surprised with the products you use! I use Valentino and they’re my favorite. For the powder to liquid ratio, watch a video for it but a tip is before picking up a bead make sure there’s no bubbles by pushing the brush down in the dappen dish with the monomer. Then dip and again and wipe half the brush against the walls of the dappen dish, and when you go pick up the bead, use the side you didn’t press against the wall of the dappen dish, to pick up the powder TAP don’t drag into the acrylic, the more liquid and the more you tap into powder the bigger the bead. I hope that helped! 💟✨

These nail salons won’t be taking my money no more 💁🏻‍♀️

[marissalorraine]

I never understand when people say “ooo so damaging” 😂😂😂 I’ve been doing my own acrylics for a while now and my nails are completely fine 😂 they are dead and they grow out 🤷‍♀️ people’s nails don’t get damaged from acrylic - they get damaged from improper technique, & over drilling/filing. 😜 Watch NCE and learn the ways of acrylic peeps.

[CrystalAndreen]

I’m gonna give this a try, since all the salons are closed because of the virus.. I have a little hope after watching this video 😂 wish me luck
