You should look into teaching as a career, you explain things SO thoroughly it’s insane!
Exactly. Natalie has taught me more than cosmetology school
I agree I learn sooooo much from her
Shaylah Marie I second this
Yes she definitely does I can’t wait for my kit so I can start
Agreed. She’s taught me everything that I know.
Natalie’s Video Notes:
Monomer is the liquid
Polymer is the powder
A bead is the blop made of both monomer and polymer.
Bead sizes:
Big, medium, small
Bead consistencies:
A Dry bead is when you have more powder than liquid
Ex. Having 70% of polymer powder with 30% of monomer liquid
A Medium bead is when both the liquid and powder are at a similar amount where there’s a tad more liquid instead.
Ex. Having 40% of polymer powder with 50% of monomer liquid
A Wet bead is when you have more liquid than powder.
Ex. Having 70% monomer liquid with 30% of polymer powder
Your acrylic bead should not be dry: hard to move and mold because it’s too lumpy or hardens quick. Your bead should not be wet: hard to control because it’s too runny and drips.
Acrylic application rules:
Follow the correct order : You first dip the brush in monomer liquid. You secondly dip the brush on polymer powder.
Three step bead application :
Apply 1st bead at the top of the nail near the cuticle area
Ex. 1/4th of the nail (from top to bottom)
Apply 2nd bead near the middle of the nail
Ex. 2/4th of the nail (from middle to bottom)
Apply 3rd bead past the middle of the nail towards the bottom
Ex. 3/4th of the nail NOT 4/4ths of the nail (from past the middle to bottom)
Your nail should have more product near the cuticle area and lesser towards the tip of the nail. Your nail should not be bulky or thin all throughout the nail.
Ex. Pretend your nail is split in four parts like this
1. 60% of product here (being top of nail)
2. 50% of product here
3. 30% of product here
4. 20% of product here (being bottom of nail)
Your nail should progress from more product on the top (not too much) to lesser towards the bottom (not to little)
The apex of your nail is the area which needs more product for strength. (The part 1 and 2 from above)
The free edge of the nail is the tip of the nail toward the bottom where there should be less product. ( The part 4 from above)
To apply: Place a bead of acrylic on nail in three steps like mentioned above , then tap the acrylic with your brush to mold it around and with a light hand spread the product downwards and sideways, when spreading the product around and molding clean the brush after each tap, stroke, and when spreading. When molding, tapping, spreading the bead, make sure to view the nail from all sides to check where you have more or less product on the nail .
NEVER apply acrylic on the skin.
Lifting can be caused if acrylic is on the skin, if nail isn’t prepped right where the shine wasn’t removed by filing, or the bead ratio/ temperature wasn’t right.
How to: big bead
Dip brush in monomer
Wipe tip of the brush
Dip brush at low angle
Ex. Your brush should look low angled like between this angled line / and this flat line -
How to: medium bead
Dip brush in monomer
Wipe half of the brush
Dip brush at 45° angle
Ex. You’re brush should look angled like this /
How to: small bead
Dip brush in monomer
Wipe the whole brush
Dip brush at vertical angle
Ex. Your brush should look straight like this |
Remember after each time you use your brush make sure to clean it by soaking your brush in acetone for a couple of minutes and brushing any acrylic powder, wetness off.
Remember your acrylic beads will not turn out great if your liquid monomer is too cold or hot, it has to be at room temperature, while on the other hand your polymer powder is fine being at room temperature as well.
Lately remember practice makes perfect, if your beads aren’t good take into consideration of the following:
How much/ many:
liquid do you have in your brush ?
powder did you pick on your brush ?
Liquid did you wipe of your brush?
Times did you wipe your brush after each stroke/ when spreading the beads?
Lastly are you using the correct brush/ equipment ? Your brush should not be flimsy or stiff it should be between these two, stable and flexible enough to move the bead without messing it.
Remember practicing will improve your skills, you won’t learn immediately over night/day. And pay close attention to your mistakes and what you do right so you are able to actually learn !
LAST BUT NOT LEAST remember to keep coming back to watch Natalie because she’s the greatest and the most informative/detailed nail tech out there!💞💅🏼🙌🏼

BEST LIQUID TO POWDER RATIO VIDEO EVER!!
Agree 💯
I've never had my nails done, learning bc I like arts and crafts and my mum likes nails. I had been trying to do it in one bead... These instructions are so helpful! I had no idea to add 3 separate beads! Thank you so much! ❤
I GOT IT!!! Finally!!! Sat there pulled out a paper towel watched your video as I was practicing and bam 10 mins later I now know what I’ve been doing wrong hahaha I think I’m all bad now!! Thanks again so much for all the videos you’ve put out and continue to put out. I always comment but never receive notification that you’ve viewed my comments but I know how time consuming it is to do nails I struggle doing my hand can’t imagine clients like you have plus all the designs you do!!!
the fact that she keeps repeating how much of the brush u wipe is so helpful 😭 this whole video was helpful anyway 💓💓
This was one of the most informative vids on this topis on UA-cam. Thank you.
Thank you love!
I just love you I swear you are like the only youtuber to demonstrate step by step with details !
I always have issue with my beads so tomorrow I will play your video and repeat the steps , who else watches her videos over and over again! More views for natali
heya. Ive done the course, Im accredited, been a tech for 4 years and could never understand why I couldnt get my beads to be the same every single time.. until I watched a few of your vids. ahhhh, just like a wet tennis ball to the back of the head. chock! it hit me!!!!!!. Went and practiced and oh my days!! (I was taught dip, wipe then the opposite side goes in powder. you dip, wipe, then same side...... I tried it your way and WOW!!!!!! You certainly nailed this video Nat. You have no idea how much you help this old lady (yeah 54 and starting nails lol). have a beautiful weekend lovely Nat xx
Yassssss finally a liquid to powder ratio tutorial my prayers are answered 🙏😍😘
Yay! I just received my acrylic and monomer a couple of days ago. I don't have the funds to go to school for it (and it's mainly for me to do my own nails), so I was gonna look up some vids, and your vid was the first one that popped up on my subs vids! I can't wait to try and try again 🤣. I even bought some little stones on Amazon lol. Thanks for showing the right and wrong way to do it, this way I know what I'm doing wrong or right 💗 much love girl
You have literally saved me. I had a very love - hate relationship with acrylic and just gave up and stuck to dip powfers and polygels. It took me watching your video 3 times and I finally got it!!! I'm so happy and excited. Thank you so much for this video 🌺🌺
YOU ARE THE REASON IM A NAIL TECHNICIAN 🥺❤️thank you !
I really needed this!! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now (my nails are currently in awful shape so I have to wait to do my nails again) and I even watch them when I’m not doing my nails to re jog my memory. My biggest issue has been the powder to monomer ratio and this video is a PERFECT example!
I literally came on your channel looking for a video exactly like this, and of course you posted an updated one right when i needed it. You’re literally the BEST ❤️❤️❤️
You are amazing!
You’re helping a lot of us ladies 😘❤️ God bless u hun
Thank you so much Natalie for being so detailed in your videos. 💕💕💕💕
You are an amazing teacher! I enjoy watching your videos. You explain everything. Thank you!
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. This makes it so much clearer for us DIY'ers that are struggling for the right consistency and how to achieve this. You are a good teacher.
I’m here for the educational videos 🥰 your a great teacher
Can you do a video on how you clean and take care of your nail brush.
Sally's Beauty Supplies has brush cleaner from Beauty Secrets for $3
Diana Ortiz clean with 100% acetone after cleaning out back in monomer an it will put mositure back into the brush.
Carmona you're literally teaching me how to do nails. Thank you so much!

This video was so helpful! I have been picking up small beads this whole time thinking I had to wipe my whole brush. I would have to use so many beads and it’s causing uneven applications bc I came back with more smalls beads. I can’t wait to do it the correct way and see how they turn out! You’re the best teacher Natalie!

Ok this was so dead on and precise I love it and the way you not only show us but you written it out and show many different forms and ways it can turn out this is exactly the video I was looking for thank you and I am a new Subscriber 🎉😊
Thank you so much I needed this I feel like this is the hardest part for doing nails in my opinion🥰💯
The liquid and powder ratio has been so difficult to master for me! You don’t know how thankful I am for this video. I’ll keep practicing! ;)
I so needed this so much. I used to have clumpy lumpy acrylic nails as my kids would say 🤣🤣😭🤣🤣. But I see now and I'll practice more ❤️❤️❤️🌹
this was such a good way of explaining powder to liquid ratio as a beginner Tysm!
I truly appreciate the way you explain things. I'm a talented nail tech, but I've found using new systems aggravating because of nailing the ratios. This method can be used for all acrylic systems.
Wow thank you! This video is so helpful I was doing both the top dry and the top wet lol 🤦🏽♀️ and i always get lifting. Good thing I practice on myself
EXCELLENT tutorial and great analogy to the cookies... well done
You're born to be a teacher. Bravo my dear
