Acrylic How to apply


PDF Icon Application, Removal & After Care Guide

  1. Prep Your Nails: Start by cleaning, shaping, and gently buffing your natural nails to remove any natural shine or oils. This step ensures a clean base for the application.

  2. Prime for Adhesion: Apply Nano® Primer to your natural nails and allow it to dry completely. This step helps improve adhesion and ensures your acrylic application lasts longer.

  3. Attach Nail Tips with Nano® Base Coat Builder:

    • Select nail tips that fit your nails perfectly.
    • Apply a thin layer of Nano® Base Coat Builder to the edge of your natural nail where the tip will be attached.
    • Press the Nano® Pro Nail tip onto your nail and hold for a few seconds until it adheres firmly.
    • Cure under a Nano® Bright UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds to secure the tip in place.
    • Blend the edges of the tip with your natural nail using a gentle file for a seamless finish.

  4. Apply Base Coat to Strengthen: Apply a thin, even layer of Nano® Base Coat Builder over your entire nail, including the tip. Cure under a Bright UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds to create a strong, smooth foundation for the acrylic.

  5. Choose the Right Kolinsky Brush: Select a Nano® Kolinsky Brush in the size that suits your style. Sizes 8, 10, 12, and 14 are available for precise application.

  6. Dip into Monomer and Powder:

    • Dip your Kolinsky Brush into Nano® Acrylic Liquid Monomer, tapping off excess liquid.
    • Lightly dip the brush into Nano® Acrylic Powder to create a small bead of acrylic.

  7. Apply and Shape Acrylic: Place the acrylic bead onto your nail and use the brush to spread and shape it smoothly over the nail and tip. Work carefully to achieve an even thickness and perfect apex.

  8. Build in Layers: Repeat the process to add more layers of acrylic if needed, ensuring each layer is fully set before applying the next.

  9. File and Shape: Once the acrylic is fully cured and hardened, file and shape your nails as desired to create a flawless look.

  10. Finish with Nano® Top Coat: Apply Nano® Top Coat for a shiny, protective finish. Cure under Bright UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds to lock in the shine and durability.

Pro Tip: Nano® Base Coat Builder doubles as an adhesive for tips and a strong foundation, ensuring a long-lasting and professional-quality manicure!
