These were my first ever set but once she put nail varnish on they didn't look that good!

One of the passing marks on my final exam for acrylics was bright red nail polish completely matte and if it isn't flawless they fail you. So you have to keep going until they are perfect. Practice, a lot! Use your brush to "file/buff" rather than relying on filing at the end. Believe me it takes set after set and sometimes years to get them to look smashing AND to last

A girl had PMed me inquiring on how I do my acrylics and the secret to making them last. So I took a couple of pics of the steps of what they need to look like. If people can tell they are fake then you need more practice.
