1)
Place a tiny ball of acrylic in the cuticle area, about
1/8 of an inch from the cuticle.
2)
QUICKLY WIPE your brush on a towel to remove excess liquid.
3)
Then GENTLY move the acrylic into place by PATTING slightly
UPWARDS (not pulling it downwards) with SOFT strokes
of the tip of your brush while holding the brush
at an angle that is almost flat to the nail. The trick
to blending the cuticle area is to insert the bristles
of the TIP of the brush IN BETWEEN the cuticle and the
ridge of the product and gently pressing DOWN. Do NOT "pull" the
acrylic away from here now since you placed it right
where you wanted it in the first place, just lessen the
thickness of the ridge by GENTLY pressing it flat.
4)
Then GENTLY stroke the entire area of the nail (while
the product is still wet) to blend it all together. This
trick IS easy once you learn it, but does require some
practice. If you do it correctly, all you need do is
use a WHITE BUFFER BLOCK to smooth the acrylic into the
cuticle area...this is incentive to learn it if nothing
else is! (I told ya there wasn't much filing if ya do
it right!)
Best
of luck.....
