To apply acrylic nails you need...
several nail files and buffers
a cuticle pusher
nail clippers
a tip cutter
nail tips and tip glue
acrylic powder - at least a pink, and probably also colored acrylic for the tips (this has a shelf life)
acrylic monomer (this has a shelf life)
a brush
primer (this ALSO has a shelf life!)
top coat. If you use gel top coat you need a lamp to cure it.
To fill them you also need acrylic nail nippers
IME it would cost you more to set up for doing your own acrylics than it does just to go get them done.
The paint on the Acrylic nail last longer on your natural nails because Acrylic nails are plastic.
A file tip is attached to the tip of the "drill" and it is used to thin and smooth the acrylic.
Acrylic nails lift most probably because their exposed to water often. If you have your hands in water very often it is probably not a good idea to get acrylic nails.
No the first acrylic nails were applied with a paper strip called a form it was placed under the natural nail and then the acrylic powder and liquid was sculpted on to the nail and over the paper form. when it set the form was removed and the nail was filed in to shape.
You don't
no they aren't :)))
Yes
Yes, you just need stain remover for your natural nails. I'd suggest that you wait though.
To remove acrylic nails you will need to soak your nails in acetone which can be done at your local nail shop, or you can purchase some acetone from your local beauty supply. When your nails is thoroughly softened, gently life the artificial nail from your natural nail by using an orangewood stick. Afterwards clean your entire nail using polish remover. The acetone softens the hard acrylic so the nails are easily removed.
Around 44$
Obviously.
If it's acrylic glue, then you can't get it off.
