Tip #2: One-Bead Acrylic Application

Applying acrylic in one bead saves time and prevents the hassle of constantly picking up additional beads. This method speeds up your process while ensuring a smooth, even application.

Tip #3: Use an 80/80 Zebra File for Acrylic Shaping

This file is a lifesaver! It saves your arms and helps shape acrylics quickly and efficiently, giving you more time for your clients and less strain on your muscles.

Tip #4: Cuticle Sealing – Why Carbide Alone Isn't Enough!

If the cuticle and sidewalls aren't properly sealed, gel polish will pool in those gaps, leaving your final look uneven, especially in photos. The Hurricane Precision Cuticle Bit Pro 2.0 seals the nail perfectly, ensuring no gaps, no lifting, and a flawless finish for that gel topcoat.

Tip #5: Exfoliate Dead Skin Around the Base of the Nail

Use a diamond bit to exfoliate the skin around the base of the nail. This prevents hangnails and gives a smooth surface, ensuring a clean, professional look.

Tip #6: Effortless Exfoliation Around the Nail

Reaching those tight areas around the nail has never been easier! The right bit helps exfoliate effortlessly, leaving your nails photo-ready with a smooth, flawless finish.

And there you have it! With these tips, you'll elevate your acrylic work and leave lifting behind for good. Try them out and see the difference!
