Ok well to start off I am in no way shape or form a professional... well recently my acrylic nails started turning white as they dry. I know its unusual for it to happen to clear acrylic. So I was wondering if anybody had an answer to this problem and what I should do to fix it. Please and thank you

i'm guessing what you are describing is sometimes called "frosting". the nail gets a glittery snowy effect? that means your acrylic is either bad or you are working it way to cold and wet. Try making sure your clients hand is really warm. wash with warm water before you apply the acrylic and allow them to set under a warm lamp. Not to close because you don't want to burn the client. see if that helps you check for overhead drafts too. sometimes vents in the ceilings are sneaky ways to blow cold air on your clients.

You could also be using combination of Liquid and Powder that is to dry just in case AllThumbs method doesnt work.

Let us know if you get it sorted tho.
