Hi it's Suzie from Nail Career Education
[8]
And today I thought I would do a video about the liquid-to-powder ratio
[11]
That's when I take the liquid and dip it into the powder
[14]
The difference of how much you put on each one is crucially important to the be that you create
[20]
And the nail that you're about to make
[29]
So this video I'm concentrating on sort-of a beginner's acrylic
[33]
I've had a lot of requests for that, for beginner's acrylic
[37]
So putting the form on of course is your first step
[39]
Laura here has great hands, great nail beds
[42]
Look at that, that long, narrow nail bed
[45]
us nail technicians love that
[47]
There is no easy way to do this, it's just a lot of practice with a lot of great tips that you might have learned
[52]
The number one thing really is "your liquid to powder ratio is crucial"
[57]
If it's too wet, it's running all over the place, and your're just chasing it where you want it to go, where you wanted to shape it
[63]
If it's too dry, it'll just roll right off the nail. That won't work
[67]
So learning your liquid to powder ratio is crucial, and very difficult.
[72]
So, this is a number 8 oval brush. I love that shape.
[76]
I'm going to make my brush nice and wet. And then you can actually dab off the extra.
[81]
When you get really expeirienced you can feel the weight of the liquid in the brush.
