How hard is it to do your own acrylic nails?

I'm pretty good at doing things myself, i file and shape the glue on kind and use those now but I'd like to do something that lasts a little longer and i'm too cheap to go to a nail salon, and they're as*holes anyway. I've seen videos on youtube and it looks fairly easy but the part where you have to dip the powder in the liquid and spread it on your nail looks kinda difficult..is it hard to get it even? any tips or an idea of how much practice it takes?

It sounds crazy hard but is simple once you get the hang of it. Buy the tips, cuticle pusher (if you don't have one), and acrylic powder. You can buy the 'acrylic nail set' that comes with everything but tips for $25.


You may have a harder time going your left hand, but im sure you'll get the hang of if.How hard is it to do your own acrylic nails?
i've used them before, it gets easier each time you do it. but maybe try a friend doing it for you because it's hard to do on your right hand if you're right handed vise versa. my friend does them herself or has her mom do them and they look perfessionally done..make sure u buff them down and they're smooth and they're bbe fine :)
