How come i don't make a ball!!

[dionne1]

When doing L@P i rarely get that ball shape(you know when you dip your brush into the liquid then into the powder) mines looks more like a flatten ball! HELP!

I work with odorless acrylic and with my system (OPI Clarite) you have to work much drier. Maybe try a brush that holds less liquid. Of course follow the advice for your system, but it sounds like the bead (ball) of acrylic is too wet.

I think you may be right, the acrylic is too wet cos it just swims on the nail, gonna pratise making it a bit drier.

maybe try a smaller brush

acrylic should not swim on the nail as it will touch the skin and cause lifting

maybe try a smaller brush

just what i was going to say...smaller brush less liquid bead wont be so wet ...


good luck with it all and keep practising hun xx

i used to buy nsi products, but after using creative nail design i will never go back, its great you should try the sample packs.

As long as your mix ratio is correct, it doesnt matter if its not a perfect ball shape, just practise your consistancy.

Your right about the lifting part, thats what kept on happening to the nails, i'm using a big brush gonna try a smaller one.
