How To Do Acrylic Nail Sets at Home

Hiya dolls!

We all know my obsession with makeup but did you know that I love all things fingernail related too? In fact, my first certification was as a nail tech. My most requested tutorials here are nail related and while I have focused mainly on cosmetics, I've decided to bring my first love here!

I'm going to cover everything from a basic manicure to nail art. I've decided to start the series with acrylic nails because not only is that my favorite type of nail set to do at home & not only is it the top requested tutorial but I don't believe anyone has broken it down & made it as simple as possible for beginners. That's what I intend to do!

I've watched hundreds of tutorials...I've read tons of articles. I've seen many, many different techniques used. Many YouTube videos show step by step techniques but I'm always left wondering if they think that is "easy"? They use terms without defining them. They do close up of the steps without giving the how behind them. Now, I plan to break it down into six parts.

Part 1: Gathering needed supplies and preparing the nail for an acrylic set.

Part 2: This will include both of my simple techniques to creating the length of an acrylic nail:
             Technique 1: Nail tips.
             Technique 2: Nail forms.

Part 3: Applying acrylic for nail tips.

Part 4: Applying acrylic for nail forms.

Part 5: Filing, smoothing & shaping the acrylic nails.

Part 6: Finishing the acrylic nail set.

Let's get it started!
