Hi all,
I am doing my first set of acrylics today since my one day course on Sunday. My Mum has agreed to be the guinea pig and I am really nervous I am going to make a mess of it!! I am not too worried about the tips because they soak off so quickly they can be re applied, its the acrylic I am worried about. Also, I am nervous that I am going to forget what to do!! I am going to list the way I remember doing it, if someone would be askind to tell me if I have got it right?
1. Spray sanitiser and clients and own hands
2. Dehydrate nails using acetone nail polish remover.
3. Rub cuticle oil in and push back cuticles.
4. File clients own nail or cut if required.
5. Dehydrate the nail using acetone nail polish remover.
6. Gently buff clients nail using white block to remove shine, remove dust using sanitiser.
7. Choose the correct tips for clients fingers.
8. pLace a spot of glue on the well area of the tip and attach to clients nail.
9. Trim tips to desired length.
10. Blend the tip with a cotton bud dipped in acetone then gently file to finish.
11. Remove dust with sanitiser and prime natural nail.
12. Apply the acryclic in 2 or 3 zones leaving a gap round the edges.
13. Use a file to buff down over the nail and shape the free edge.
14. Buff with white block.
15. apply cutice oil to entire nail and buff with 3 way shiner.
Is this correct?
Thanks guys
