Doing acrylics on your opposite hand?

[Clawdear]

Hiya, just curious how you guys do a full set of acrylics. Am a fresh graduate from nail course and wanting to do both my hand with acrylics myself. Any tips?

I literally did my first attempt using the bad hand, and omg, they look absolutely terrible and will probably lift within a few days.

I do this all the time. It takes longer than doing it on a client for sure, but it's possible and great practice! You'll become quite ambidextrous in no time! I tend to pick the bead up with my good hand and then switch the brush over

I actually do the good hand first... so that I can't quit! Haha.

I also pick up the bead with my good hand. When in filing, I tend to hold the file still and move my good hand. Lol. It really does take time though, but be patient and it will come.

I mean a use my bad hand to do my good hand first [emoji23] I'm quicker with my good hand so when I'm losing patience I don't have to worry [emoji23]
