How To Sculpt A Square Acrylic Nail | Back to Basics Nail Tutorial

Hi YouTube Jay took the time to join me on my Stoke-On-Trent Back to Basics course in April and today we’ve got a video showing you in depth how to sculpt a Square Nail. You can join me on my next course in Stockton On Tees, 26th June 2022 : https://bit.ly/38jb4W8 I’m going to start with my form and I’m using my forms which have foil in the centre to hold the shape. I’m going to remove the length from my forms and pop the tab just below the opening to add strength to the form. I’m then going to roll the form into shape. When applying, I’m going to open the tabs at the back and I’m going to remove the peaks a little so it fit the finger better. I’ll open the form about half the width of the nail in back and close the tabs, they have to line up otherwise the form will be wonky. I would normally prime the nail but this one’s going to be removed at the end of the day so I’m not priming this one. I’m then going to pick up quite a large acrylic bead and place it at the contact area between the form and the natural nail and then tease my product down the nail from till I reach the length I want. I’ll keep titivating till I’m happy and I’ll add in any extra product I might need with small beads. I’m then add a medium sized bead to build my apex and side walls. I’ll finally take a small bead to go round the cuticle area, don’t touch the cuticle with the product. I’ll test pinch the nail with my finger and once it’s firm but a bit bouncy I’ll test with my pinching too
