I went away and decided to get my nails done - thought i would watch to see the kind of application. I left about 20 minutes later which french acrylics - using white tips of course. I was amazed that the turnaround time was 20mins and they could charge $45 for a job so quick. It wasnt a bad job but i was just amazed at the application. I know 1 beaded acrylics is not the way to go. I was just amazed as I hadnt seen it done before. She applied a big bead on to the nail then with the side of her brush tapped the side of the acrylic on either side of the bead four times. Doing this the bead re-shaped to form a long stip of a acrylic down the nail. With the flags of her brush she flattened the front, then the sides and using the push pull method did the backs (zone 3). I'm not sure this created the perfect shaped nail as the arch was a bit higher towards the back of the nail rather than zone two. What do others think of this application? I'm not sure of the application - but I do admit it was facintating to watch - the product just seemed handled so well.
