So I've been toying around with the idea of acrylic nails for a few days now. (Once I get an idea in my head, I become obsessed with it!!) And I thought I might give it a whirl before school starts - I would have to have pretty short nails to play the stupid (I repeat, STUPID) piano.. so I never messed with fake nails after middle/high school. But it's killing me now; I really want to have pretty nails - that last. I'm also reading reviews... This one looks ok:
Walgreens -- Kiss Complete Kit

I'm really looking for a kit that has primer in it, because the cheapest kits at the drug store don't have it. I have done lots of homework and found that you need a few essential things to keep acrylics that last. Here's a starter list (from that site):
- Nail Tips (French, Natural, etc.)
- Acrylic Liquid / Monomer
- Acrylic Powder
- Acrylic Primer (note: I didn't use this bc I didn't have it)
- Dehydrator (didn't use this)
- Sanitizer
- Nail Glue
- Acrylic Brush
- Buff Block (4-way)
- Dappen (Nail) Dish
- 2-Way Nail File
- Manicure Stick (cuticles)
- (Optional) Apple Fresh Acrylic Liquid Masking Formula .07oz - just a few drops masks the potent odor of Acrylic Liquid
More later..
