Question Hi,
My first quest is I have been buying all types of acrylic powder and none of them seem to be like the ones in the shop. I have bought ASP and IBD and none come close to the ones from the shop. Is there a spefic brand I should be buying?? and as far as the sable brush I tried finding the one that is the same size as the one from the shop but they I have no luck. I went to sallys and their biggest brush goes up to size 22 and I know the salon shop uses as size a little bigger. Basically my question is where can I find the best acrylic to use for w/ UV and a good brush??? thank you for your time

Answer Taittiana-
Hi. I do not know of an acrylic powder that is uv activated? I know of gels but not acrylic powder.
I would suggest asking this shop you refer to. If they are legit they will divulge the information if they are using something illegal such as mma then you will probably get resistance from them. If that is the case mma is dental bonder and permanently bonds the enhancement to your nails the only way to get it off is to grow it off or file it off.
For the brush I like creative nail design brushes. A brush is a personal preference so just keep hunting you will find one you like.
