For beginners in the world of nail art, learning how to apply acrylic on nail forms can be a challenge. However, mastering this technique will not only elevate your skills but also allow you to create perfect nails for your clients. This article will provide you with detailed steps to help you easily apply acrylic on nail forms.
Tools You Will Need
- Nail Forms: Choosing high-quality nail forms is crucial. Bangya Professional’s aluminum nail forms provide strong adhesion, preventing them from slipping, moving, or needing readjustment during application. (available in rolls of 300 or 500)
- Acrylic Powder and Liquid: Acrylic is the best choice for creating strong, long-lasting nails.(Monomer & Polymer)
- Acrylic Brush: Used to dip into the powder and liquid, and apply it to the nail form.(preferably a size 8 or 10 acrylic brush)
- Nail Files/Buffers: To shape and refine the nails.
- Cuticle Oil or Moisturizer: To hydrate the nails and surrounding skin after application.
Step 1: Prepare the Nails
Start by ensuring that your client’s nails are clean and dry. Remove any nail polish, trim the nails, and address any nail issues (such as hangnails or cracks) if present. Then, gently buff the nail surface with a file to remove any oils and allow the acrylic to adhere better.
Step 2: Correctly Position the Nail Forms
Carefully place the nail form under the client’s nail, adjusting the angle to fit their nail shape. Ensure that the form is snug against the nail and won’t shift. Bangya Professional’s nail forms are designed to precisely fit a variety of nail curves, ensuring a perfect fit.
Step 3: Mix the Acrylic
Next, mix the acrylic powder and liquid in the correct ratio. To ensure proper coverage, dip your acrylic brush into the mixture, making sure the brush doesn’t hold too much liquid. Too much liquid will cause the acrylic to run, while too little will make it hard to apply evenly.
Step 4: Apply the Acrylic
Gently apply the acrylic mixture onto the nail form, starting from the base of the nail. Use the acrylic brush to spread it evenly across the surface of the nail form. During the application, press the form gently with your fingers to ensure a smooth, tight fit between the form and the natural nail.
Step 5: Shape and Refine
Once the acrylic begins to set, use a nail file to refine the shape of the nail. You can adjust the length and shape according to your client’s preferences, making sure the nails are symmetrical and polished. Be careful not to file too much, as it could damage the acrylic layer.
Step 6: Finish and Care
After the acrylic has fully hardened, remove the nail form and apply a layer of topcoat or cuticle oil to hydrate the nails and surrounding skin. At this point, your acrylic nail extensions are complete! Make sure to provide your client with aftercare tips on maintaining their nails in perfect condition.
Tips:
- Use High-Quality Nail Forms: For example, Bangya Professional’s aluminum nail forms offer better adhesion, ensuring the forms stay in place during the application.
- Pay Attention to the Acrylic Mixture: Too much or too little acrylic liquid will affect the result.
- Practice Filing Techniques: Filing not only shapes the nail but also smooths out the surface for a more professional finish.
