The first step you require to do is sanitize your nail. Most people do so by washing the nails with a solution of soap and water. However, the best way to do so is by applying acetone onto the surface of your nail. Following that, you need to choose the correct artificial nails for your respective fingers. At first glance, the artificial nails may appear too large for your real nails. But don’t worry about that. Once you have stuck the artificial nails onto your natural nails, you can always file them to the desirable length.

Once the filing is done we can move onto the acrylic liquid and powder. It is best to take two different shades of acrylic powders to get the best effect. White and pink would be a great choice. Keep the application brush dipped in the acetone so that the bristles become soft and therefore becomes easy to apply. Make sure that there is no acetone dripping from the brush when you use it for applying acrylic powder. You can ensure that by drying the brush with tissue paper. Now dip the brush in acrylic liquid and immediately roll it in the white acrylic powder. Now apply this mixture very patiently onto the region above the smile line of the nail. Apply the pink powder in the region below the smile line and then file the surface of the nail.

Experts would tell you to use two different colored acrylic powders for the best possible effect. Favorite suggestion of most experts is a delicate combination of white and pink.
