Question
QUESTION: Hi! I been practicing on doing my own acrylic nails. The nails are clear and the powder to. But when im done applying the acrylic there ugly like if I had filed it or something. but this only happens in some spots not on all of the nail. Why is this happening what am I doing wrong?

ANSWER: Monica-
I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean the spots are rough or dips or discolored?
Thanks

QUESTION: Yeah its like discolored, whith like lots of little tiny bubbles.kind of like little white spots. And I have another question, does each acrylic powder needs its own liquid or can I use anyone?

Answer
Monica-
Sounds like an application or prep problem. Be sure you are cleaning the nail plate completely of all file dust and oils prior to application. If you are doing this be sure your brush is clean and that you are using the proper ratio of powder to monomer. This too can cause discoloration and or air bubbles. You should not be "working" the product too much. The correct ratio should be pressed onto the nail and sort of melt and then you just need to press and the ball into place. I do not recommend mixing product lines. Stick with the same company monomer and powder.
Good Luck
Amber
