Applying Nail Mate Core Acrylic Powders using nail tips or nail forms involves several steps to ensure a smooth and professional-looking finish. Here's a detailed guide:

Step-by-Step Guide:

Preparation:

1. Clean and Prep Nails:

   - Wash your hands thoroughly to remove oils and dirt.

   - Gently push back cuticles with a cuticle pusher.

   - Buff the natural nail surface lightly to remove shine.

2. Apply Nail Tips (if using):

   - Select the correct size nail tip for each nail.

   - Apply a small amount of nail glue to the well of the nail tip.

   - Press the tip onto the natural nail and hold until secure.

   - Trim and shape the tips to the desired length.

Apply Nail Forms (if using):

   - Ensure forms fit snugly around the nail edge and secure them in place.

   - Adjust the form to ensure it aligns with the natural nail shape.

4. Dehydrate and Prime:

   - Apply safe scrub nail dehydrator to remove remaining oils from the nail plate.

   - Apply a thin layer of pro bond or ultra primer to enhance acrylic adhesion.

Application:

5. Prepare Acrylic Mixture:

   - Pour acrylic liquid into a dappen dish.

   - Dip your acrylic brush into the liquid and gently wipe to remove excess.

6. Apply Acrylic to Nails:

   - Dip the wet brush into the acrylic powder to form a bead.

   - Place the acrylic bead near the designated point on the nail (e.g., the stress area for strength).

   - Gently press and pat the acrylic into place, working from the cuticle area to the free edge.

   - Use the brush to sculpt the desired nail shape and thickness, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

7. Build the Structure:

   - Apply additional beads as necessary to build the desired nail structure.

   - Ensure the apex (highest point of the nail) is slightly above the natural nail for strength.

8. Allow to Set:

   - Allow the acrylic to dry and harden completely. This may take several minutes depending on the product used and the room temperature.

Finishing:

9. File and Shape:

   - Once fully set, use a nail file to perfect the shape and smooth the surface.

   - Buff the nails to achieve a smooth finish. You can come in with your gel nail design over the top at this stage if you wanted.

10. Apply Top Coat (Optional):

   - Apply a top coat for added shine and protection.

   - Cure under the Nail Mate PRO+ LED lamp if using gel top coat.

11. Final Touch:

   - Wash your hands thoroughly and then dry the nails.

   - Apply cuticle oil to moisturise and condition the skin around the nails.

By following these steps, you'll achieve beautifully sculpted nails with the Nail Mate Core Acrylic Powders, whether using nail tips or forms.
