HOW TO DO ACRYLIC NAILS STEP BY STEP
Acrylic nails have become, quite literally, an extension of the personality of many people, thereby allowing them to better express their creativity and personal style. Moreover, they are great allies to avoid breaking or splitting our nails.
When celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Rosalia and even Bad Gyal complete their looks with these nails, thinking about doing it ourselves is unavoidable.
GUIDE AND MATERIALS FOR DOING ACRYLIC NAILS
PREPARE YOUR NAILS
- Remove any type of previous treatment using and trim your cuticles.
- Shape your nails using a[sapphire nail file which is ideal for this purpose because of its extra strength.
- Finish off using a fine-grain file to achieve a smooth surface on which to apply the nail varnish as uniformly as possible.
PREPARE YOUR TIPS
- Choose a tip that fits your nail size perfectly.
- Apply the right glue to the inner edge and place the nail over your own nail.
- Cut and shape the tip to achieve your own design, straight, almond shaped, wavy, etc.

1. Apply the acrylic:
- Prepare the acrylic mixture and apply it using a brush, which may vary in size depending on your nails, from Size 7 to Size 10. After moistening the brush, take a small amount of acrylic mixture to make the ball that you will apply to your nail.
- Apply it near the top of your nail and then carefully apply it towards the lower area, the part nearest the cuticle. The objective is to ensure uniform application of the acrylic mixture.
2. Shape and file:
- When the acrylic mixture has dried, use a fine grain file to shape your nails and polish them.
- Use a four-stage polish to perfect the shape over the entire surface, starting at the sides, upper part of your nail and then the cuticle.
3. Decorating and finish:
Now is the moment to unleash your creative side, and to make something even more different:
- Apply decorative nail varnish and gel according to your tastes.
- Seal your nails with a top coat to protect the glitter you just applied and make sure the look lasts longer.
- Look after your cuticles and hydrate them using cream and oils.
Now is the time to feel like one of the celebrities who inspired us and to flaunt our hands and nails wherever we go. It’s time to dazzle!
