"Have you ever tried to give yourself a full set, or maybe just do a nail repair and try to use your acrylic products? Hi. I'm beauty expert, Jackie O. and today we're going to discuss how to apply acrylic nails. You want to first consider, do you want a natural, clear look? Or do you want a pink and white look? We're going to do a demonstration, and show you exactly how you can apply acrylic nails. You want to first consider, do you want sculptured nails? You can use something like this, which is a form, and you can apply it to the natural nail to form your shape. Once you determine if you want a form on your nail, versus a tip on your nail to give you the extension, apply it with glue, and use a tip cutter to determine your length. Once you do that, you want to use your nail brush. Dip it in your liquid. Dip it in the clear powder, and apply to the nail. Prior to applying the acrylic product, you want to use, of course, a nail prep and a nail primer. This will help the nails to stay on longer and stronger. I'm Jackie O., beauty expert, and today we have discussed the applications for applying acrylic nails."
