Confused, L&P questions

[Shelly m]

Hi would like some advice just if you do an infill do you only blend the line before applying acrylic or do you lightly go over the whole nail?

Also if you get a slight dip because you haven't applied enough acrylic below cuticle are would you have to buff over all the nail to apply more acrylic to level out?

Your message is confusing. Why would there be a dip?
You don't apply acrylic on the cuticle there must always be an gap (small ) otherwise if the acrylic touches the cuticle it will lift .

When you in fill you must would buff whole nail then fill the back to a slope or angle then apply new acrylic ( assuming no lifting: means hardly any buffing).

Thank you for your reply.
I was practicing. I applied the acrylic ok at free edge then above but at the top I didn't apply enough too thin causing uneven application.

Just start with practicing to "pick up a ball"
Then place the ball on a piece of paper do a whole row of them one size then try pick up a bigger ball
Do this for small , Med, large.
I would say one A4page would be enough practice.

Once you have ball control then you can place the ball better on the nail and won't run the risk of it being too runny or small etc..

Wipe your brush on a clean sheet of kitchen roll after each ball, so you don't get product build up left on your brush and it can ruin your brush.

If that does happen please do not soak it in acetone it will ruin your bristles, use brush cleanser from whoever supplied your kit, I use nsi brush cleanser and it saved my brush, I use royal precision which costs over R1000 so about £60 a brush not sure on exact U.K. Price but i have kept it for over 10 years !
Keep your brush clean and save lots of money!
