Untidy acrylic application

[G coley]

Hey guys

I am newly qualified but have never practiced on anyones nails but mine. I love doing clear acrylic designs as I'm trying to master encapsulating with a clear look. I just wanted to know how a good clear bead would look and also my nails always lift the same day or next although I think my nail prep is OK. Can someone help?!!!

I've posted my nails below. This is my second attempt

If your nails are lifting so soon it’s probably down to prep or the product is touching your skin.
A good quality clear powder should be like glass once your top coat is applied.
You would find it easier to concentrate on application first then to move on to design work once you’re confident and the nails are lasting longer.

Agree. Use a cover powder to get your structure spot on, easier to see problems and mistakes. Without that it’s going to be difficult to learn encapsulation without ending up too bulky... been there... done that. [emoji6][emoji1]
