Acrylic nails are a versatile addition to any woman’s beauty regimen. They are durable and will go on smoothly and last for weeks, unless you decide to remove them yourself. Acrylic nails also provide a new look that can change in accordance with your mood. If you are interested in creating your own acrylic nails at home, here are some techniques and tips for at-home application from our professional beauty guru, Amanda!
Why acrylic nails are great for your hands
If you are considering the purchase of an acrylic nail brush, it is important to note that not all brushes are made equally. Some brushes are better quality than others. The best acrylic nail brush brand will be easy to use and require minimal effort on your part. There should be no scuffing or scratching that may lead to a loss of strength in the acrylic nails.
Japonesque is one of the best brands for professional-quality acrylic nail brushes because they offer exceptional quality and ease of use. The bristles on these brushes are made from 100 percent nylon and the handles have a rubberized finish for a comfortable grip.
What to wear with acrylic nails
It is important to wear proper nail polish and nail polish remover before applying acrylic nails. It also helps to have a fresh set of clean nails as well.
