Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Better than I expected for the price! Since I finally took a chance (after over 20 years) and decided to skip expensive salons (monthly bill). I started doing my own acrylic nails a little over a month ago. And I am elated that I did! I do my acrylic nails and my a few others. I'll attach a picture with a cute glove that I purchased on amazon for a birthday gift =) I also did Nail-Art with diamond rhinestones (used super glue). IF your nails are lifting, it's probably because you've skipped some steps listed below: MUST DO: 1. File your natural nail to make it feel rough. I use my "Nail Drill Machine," but you can use a coarse nail file 2. Either push back cuticles OR cut them (I cut them with a cuticle file) Reason why, to reduce natural oils from making nails lift. 3. Apply Primer on your natural nail MUST HAVE: You NEED a Primer. This will make the acrylic stick longer. Your nails won't fall off if you use a Primer. 4. I use Super-Glue to apply the tips. DIP the brush in the monomer, then place the Brush on the side on the powder for 4 seconds. This will make a small formed circle of acrylic. 5. When applying the acrylic to your nail, try to have a Thin-Layer' near the cuticle (but try not to touch the cuticle) Thicker acrylic towards the middle and tip of the nail (See my picture) 6. Reapply acrylic and much as desired. If you form the acrylic well enough, you may not have to file as much to make it smooth. 7. To Shape Nails:Use a Emery Board ( purchase a strong rough one) and use a Nail-File Buffer ( works great to sand and buff nails smooth). I also use a Nail-Drill to shape and sand nails. But you can shape and sand your nails without a Nail-Drill. 8. After you polish your nails, ALWAYS apply 2-top coats (I am personally not a fan of UV/Led dryers). You can purchase an either one or two fan Nail-Dryer. I buy fast-drying clear top coat nail polish and gel polish that doesn't require the UV/led dryer. . All of these steps listed above you would have to do with MOST acrylic powders brands. PINK, CLEAR, AND WHITE came with this package (Again AWESOME deal for the price). I've used all three. Even used the white powder to make my entire nail white and applied Nail-Art. The Pink-powder is good for a natural look. Clear-powder is good for any style. -----Full-Set lasted before Needing a Fill: over two weeks. I decided twice to fill them 1.5 week. But it could have lasted longer before needing a fill. Over All, I will continue to purchase this product. This acrylic set is just the same as any other full-set or fill that I have gotten at a nail salon. You just have to do the same steps as they do professionally, as I listed above. Using a Primer and allowing the acrylic to FULLY dry, make a world of difference! Good Luck =+)
