Tools Needed for Acrylic Nail Manicures

Video Transcript

" This is Lois Arnold and I am the owner of Elijah University Salon and Spa, and we are at 4012 Market Street here in Philadelphia. It’s very important when you’re do acrylic nails, your brush is very, very important because if it’s too hard and it’s not flexible and it will not bend. Then as with anything, while this is drying a little bit, the tools are everything. Your drills are very, very important. With you drill, this is your drill and it has different speeds; it goes forward, it goes in reverse. We have different attachments. One to clean up under the bottom of the nail to make sure that you get all the residue off, then you have two different sand paper attachments. One is mild; this is what I used on her nail at the beginning, and that goes next to your natural skin, but you would not use to a coarse because it’s a little too abrasive for your natural skin. If you did you would know the difference. What I did is I made this a little coloration so I can tell the difference between the two of them so that I would not abrase or bruise her skin; that’s very, very important. "
