Creating a good acrylic bead is a skill, and the only way you will learn this skill is practise, practise and more practise. To create a good acrylic bead you will need a clean neat acrylic brush, acrylic powder, monomer in a trinket dish and a generous amount of kitchen roll. You want to make sure the brush is dipped fully into the monomer, slightly dabbed onto the kitchen roll and lightly dipped into the acrylic. Picking up a good bead will then show you the bead nice and smooth with no excess acrylic powder still present, when applying this bead to the nail it needs to be just slightly runny in consistency however manageable and mouldable.
