👉 How to Apply Acrylic Nails

🍁 The Products You’ll Need

• Natural Beige Acrylic Powder

• Max Adhesion Acrylic Liquid

• Blooming Gel

• Clear As Day Builder In A Bottle

• Urban Graffiti Gel Polish in Serious Black

🍁 Step 1. Nail Prep

1. Push the cuticles back and gently trim away any excess skin.

2. Prep the nail by removing surface shine with a buffing block.

3. Apply Nail Prep / Dehydrator, followed by Ultra Bond Acid Nail Primer for maximum adhesion.

🍁 Step 2. Acrylic Application

1. Using Natural Beige Acrylic Powder with Max Adhesion acrylic liquid, apply and sculpt the nails. Kenedi prefers Max Adhesion as it has a faster setting time, perfect for experienced nail techs. If you'd prefer more time, try our Medium Speed Acrylic Liquid.

2. Shape and refine the nails once the acrylic is fully set.

🍁 Step 3. Base & Aura Design

1. Apply a thin layer of Urban Graffiti Base Coat, then cure under a lamp.

2. Airbrush Cabernet Gel Polish onto the middle nails, creating a soft aura effect.

3. Using Blooming Gel and Cabernet, Kenedi created two delicate flower designs for added detail.

4. Seal the design with a thin layer of Top Coat, then buff the surface of the nails that will have chrome accents.

🍁 Step 4. 3D Chrome Elements

1. Apply Clear As Day Builder Gel to sculpt subtle 3D accents on the nails.

2. Paint over the raised design with Serious Black gel polish.

3. Rub in Urban Graffiti Gold Chrome Pigment Powder BJ165 to bring the details to life.

🍁 Step 5. Finishing Details

1. On the thumb and pinky fingers, paint Cabernet French tips for a classic autumn look.

2. Add Metallic Gold Nail Decals to enhance the luxe feel of the set.

3. Seal everything with two layers of Urban Graffiti Top Coat to lock in the chrome and ensure durability.

🍁 Step 6. Final Touch

Finish the look with a stroke of Cherry Cuticle Oil for nourishment and shine.

✨ And there you have it — a perfect burgundy and gold autumnal nail set, designed by Kenedi. Rich tones, chrome accents, and 3D details make this look an absolute must for the upcoming season.
