Hello Nails Artists of Arenas Beauty Supply!
In the world of acrylic nails, preparation is key to achieving a flawless and long-lasting result. In this blog, we share 5 essential tips for preparing an acrylic nail on your work table, using the high-quality products of the Tones line:
1. Deep cleaning:
Start with a completely clean and residue-free nail. Remove the previous polish with acetone without acetate, then wash your hands and nails with antibacterial soap. Finally, disinfect the nail surface with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
2. Gently push back the cuticles:
Use a metal or wooden cuticle pusher to gently reposition the cuticles back. Do not cut them, as this can cause irritation and infection.
3. Remove the natural shine of the nail:
With a medium-grit buffer block, remove the natural shine from the surface of the nail. This will create a rough texture that will allow for better adhesion of the acrylic. Be sure not to file too hard, as you can damage the nail.
4. Apply Tones Acid-Free Primer:
Tones Acid-Free Primer is an essential product for improving the adhesion of acrylic to the natural nail. Apply a thin, even layer over the entire surface of the nail, making sure to reach the edges. Let air dry for a few seconds.
5. Select the appropriate tip:
Choose a tip of the desired size and shape for your client. You can use a size chart to make sure the tip fits perfectly on the natural nail.
Bonus: Additional tips
- Keep your work area clean and organized to prevent product contamination.
- Wear latex or nitrile gloves to protect your hands from chemicals.
- Properly ventilate your work area to avoid inhaling harmful fumes.
- Follow the manufacturer's safety instructions for proper use of acrylic products.
