How to use acrylic powder

Acrylic powder can be beige, pink, pearl, sometimes they also resort to mixing colors.
When working with acrylic powder, you need to follow certain recommendations:
- acrylic has a rather pungent unpleasant odor, so it is better to wear a mask during the procedure;
- since it thickens easily, you need to work with this material quickly;
- it is not worth delaying the procedures either for the reason that after two or three hours of work, many specialists complain of a deterioration in their health.
First of all, you need to prepare your hands: remove the cuticles, degrease and file your nails. Then a primer gel is applied and tips are applied to the nails for further processing with acrylic. 
Dip the brush in liquid, and then in acrylic powder. Then, with quick movements, acrylic is applied to the surface of the nail, trying to do it evenly. When the nail reaches the desired length and shape, the treatment is finished.
After that, the forms or tips must be removed and wait until all the nails are dry and the acrylic hardens on them. Now you can cover them with a special activator.
At the end of the procedure, the nails are brought to perfection: they are polished, given the desired shape and begin to work on the design.
