Materials

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the nails
Begin by prepping the nails for acrylic application. This involves filing the nails to your desired shape and pushing back the cuticles.
Step 2: Apply the nail tips
Apply a thin layer of nail glue to the tip of each nail and then press on a nail tip. Hold the tip in place for a few seconds until the glue has set.
Step 3: File and shape the tips
Once the tips are applied, use a nail file to shape and smooth the edges of the tips. You can also use a buffer to smooth out any rough spots.
Step 4: Create the French tip
To create the French tip, start by dipping the brush into the monomer and then into the polymer. You want to create a bead of acrylic on the end of the brush.
Then, gently brush the bead of acrylic onto the tip of the nail. Start at the center of the tip and work your way to the sides. Be sure to smooth out the edges of the French tip.
Step 5: Cure the acrylic
Once the French tip is created, you need to cure the acrylic. This can be done by placing your hand under a UV lamp for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6: Finish the nails
Once the acrylic is cured, you can finish the nails by filing, buffing, and applying a top coat.
