Before applying your Glam and Glits acrylic powder, be sure to properly prep the nail bed by removing any polish and wiping it with acetone. At this point, you’ll decide whether or not you’ll be applying the acrylic powder directly to the natural nail or if you’ll be attaching a nail tip. Next, you’ll buff away the shine on the nail plate and apply bond and primer to the entire nail bed to prevent lifting after application. Once you have your Glam and Glits acrylic powder of choice, be sure to roll the jar to properly disperse the powder. Next, dip your brush into the monomer. You’ll want to “burp” the brush and wipe off any excess so that all the liquid will sit at the end of the brush. Now, gently lay the brush tip into the surface of the powder and gather enough powder to apply to the entire nail for a single bead application. Once on the brush, allow the bead to look completely glossy before you begin placing it on the nail. When working with bead start a hairline away from the cuticle and move toward the free edge of the nail. When applying the acrylic, spread and tap it into the nail using the body of the brush and you can dip into monomer, if needed, during application to increase pliability. Be sure to tap lightly to allow for a smooth and flush application, this will help cut down on your filing time as well. Allow the acrylic to dry completely, you can tell this by tapping the end of your brush on the nail until you hear a slight clicking sound. Once dry, hand file the side walls and then go in with an e-file or buffer to smooth out the top of the nail. Once you are finished filing, simply apply a polish top coat over your color acrylic. Can you form with acrylic? If so, how? Yes, you can definitely form a nail using acrylic powder. This is a great way to apply acrylic on short, bitten nails or you can use it when doing intricate designs using your acrylic powders to create a glass effect on the bottom of the nail. To begin, properly prep the nail plate to prevent lifting. Using a fine-grit sanding band on your e-file, barely kiss the nail plate to remove the shine. Apply bond, let dry, and then apply primer, both will go directly on the nail plate. Next, you will begin applying the form, line up the middle of the form and slowly rock it backwards to slide just underneath the free edge of the natural nail. Pinch the sides and bottom of the form to secure it in place. Depending on the shape of the nail, you will either leave the form open or pinch the tip of it shut. Now the acrylic application begins! Take your Glam and Glits acrylic color of choice and roll the jar to properly disperse the powder. Dip your brush in the monomer and remove the excess liquid before picking up a small bead of acrylic to apply to the point where the free edge of the nail and the form, meet. Now, begin building the free edge of the nail by picking up a bigger bead and using the body of the brush to manipulate the powder, as needed. Once the free edge is formed, pick up another, slightly smaller, bead and apply it directly to the nail plate. Use the tip of your brush to push the product in near the cuticle and then use the body of the brush to work the product up the nail and toward the free edge. You’ll want to leave the apex of the nail slightly thicker, this is where you’ll want some extra strength because it is the stress point of the nail. Now, you’ll begin forming the c-curve while the acrylic is still, slightly malleable. Pinch the sides of the formed section of the nail to create the curve. You can do so by using your fingers or a pinching tool, be sure not to pinch near the actual nail plate. Allow the acrylic to dry completely, you can check this by tapping the end of your brush on the nail until you hear a slight clicking sound. Once dry, remove the form by pinching and pulling it out from beneath the nail. Lastly, file and shape the side walls and clean up the cuticle with an e-file before applying your favorite top coat. How do I remove my acrylic? Removing acrylic powder can be done a number of ways, some easier than others. Two of the most common ways to remove acrylic are by e-filing the color down to the acrylic base so you don’t have to rebuild…
