  • Thanks for this.. I'm new to doing my nails and yours in the only tutorial I could find that actually explains how to get a good bead :)

  • would have been nice if this was a video instead of pictures.but i still get the point

  • hi, what kind of acrylic mixtures do u use??

  • I think seeing is physically done wouldve been a better help but thanks!(:

  • i love how ur brush looks what size is it and where can i purches a brush like yours

  • Thanks no other video i looked at showed the exact steps like u ... Just practised now and instantly got better @ the ratio mix will keep practising :)

  • You've done an excellent job in this tutorial! :) very educational and helpful, I've done a diploma in beauty therapy which included nails and you taught me more than they did. Thanku! :)

  • @koolgirlz28 its not the liquid that changes the color of the nail. Its the acrylic powder itself. You can find different color powder at sallys or ebay

  • How do you get white or different color acrylic liquid colors?

  • @Koolgirlz28 I think you just buy the different colour powders. I just recieved a package with about 13 different coloured powders

  • HOLY CRAP THAT'S GOOD ADVICE! /endallcaps

    Thank you for this video! Absolutely amazing!

  • good 

  • I tried the suggestions you gave and no matter which way I tried I still had too much liquid in my brush. I will keep trying. But at least this gives me something to go by. Just don't think I will try it this way again.

  • can u say this in english....too many terms i dont get

  • Thank you soooooo much! I also learned more watching this video then all the time I was in school. I have had trouble with my ratios, this has helped so much. Where do you purchase your brushes?

  • What is a good size brush to use when doing acrylic nails?

  • thank you sooooooo much :) your are wonderful

  • thank you very much that was helpful a really appreciate details Tantu!!!

  • @christiegibson pls can I ask something? I know how to use acrylic but I have a problem...I put the brush into the liquid than I press it into the powder but as I wait it isn t like the "play dough" : 3:30(like this) and so I can t make the shape of the nail...it is too watery and if I wait more it is getting tough but in the way that it is impossible to work the shape...the liquid I use is nubar brand...but the powders are very cheap and not professional...is it because of the powders?

  • @butterfly13artist I am no professional but as I've been doing my own nails over the past 12 months I can say with experience that your powders do make a difference. Try buying a different powder and see what happens. The powders you get in the little sample kits are horrible. Also make sure you have a really good brush. Don't settle for the cheap ones.

  • @netfullofshells thanx I have already bought another acrylic powder,liquid and brush and yes it was not my fault...it was the powder I bought tammy taylor and dejanu acrylics and I am satisfied.They can be easily filed so I can make the correct shape of the nail without wasting my time :)

  • good video very helpful is very important to use the rigth amount of monomer and i recomend every body not to get this products on e bay the cuality is very poor most of the staff comes from china i had a very bad experience buying nails products from ebay

  • ive been doing this since i watched u .... thankyu so much , its great 

  • what size of brush?

  • Thank you. This is what I have wanted to know for years! Along with the proper tools and supplies, I can finally do my own nails beautifully. Clear explanation and photos.

  • @lovehellokitty2much I agree, great video Christie, thanks!

  • i wish i watched this before i fucked my nails up =/

  • @mzsvetlanaxo LOL, that sucks!

  • @mzsvetlanaxo LOL ME TOO!!!

  • bull shit.

  • great, specific information. Especially the pics of the dry bead of acrylic.

  • My acrylic doesn't really stick to my nails. It dislodges easily after it dried. Do you have any idea what may be wrong??

  • @8ghazale8 did you file your nails rough enough?? Maybe they aren't cleansed enough, try the special nail drying ( I don't know how you call it in english) stuff, it's a liquid that dries out your natural nail..

    greetings from belgium!!

  • Hey! I love to visit your country :)

    actually i didnt know that i should file my nail roughly before that! :D i just learnt that from youtube and nobody mention it! I ll try it and hope it works :D thank you so much XXX

  • @Valerieke79 heyy the nail filing work :D tnx so much :)

  • can you tell me the difference between white/clear liquid and the violet/blue colour?

  • @cristina3031 with the blue color your nails will stay white longer!! Otherwise the uv rays can make your nails turn yellow overtime!!

    hope you know now, greetings from belgium!!
