To make pink acrylic nails, use a pink acrylic powder or mix glitter into clear acrylic powder. Acrylic nails are made by combining a liquid monomer with a powder polymer to create a durable mixture that is shaped onto natural nails or nail tips.
Step-by-Step Process
- Apply a small ball of pink acrylic at the base of the nail near the cuticle.
- Smooth it out so it covers the entire nail.
- Apply a second, wetter, smaller ball of pink above the cuticle to create a seamless gradient of color.
- Check the profile of each nail to ensure the apex is thick enough and situated over the stress region.
- Use clear powder if additional product is needed to avoid muddying the smile line.
Changing the Color of Acrylic Nails
To change the color of acrylic nails:
- Remove the current color using nail polish remover, soaking in acetone, or using a UV light.
- Paint the nails with the new color.
Color Change during Fill Procedure
During a fill procedure, the color can usually be changed without compromising the process. Clear acrylics can be used, allowing for color changes as regrowth is treated.
Creating Pink Acrylic Blend
In a small dish, mix hot pink acrylic powder with glitter. Experiment with different ratios to find your perfect sparkly acrylic blend. Dip your nail brush into acrylic liquid and then into the glitter acrylic mixture. Apply it to nails.
