share with you. Acrylics may seem scary if you aren't
familiar with them (which Im not)
But, I will share with you what I am learning in my nail classes
which I have every Tuesday so that you can learn as I learn.
This post will tell you what you need to go out and buy.
You are looking at spending approx $100 - $150 on the basics
My teacher recommends using an OPI line but if you want to
try another brand go for it. OPI has a line called "Absolute"
& one called "Competition" & also one called
"Clarite" Clarite is orderless but they recommend
beginners to start out with Competition because
with Clarite you have to do an extra buffing with a
special Clarite buffer. Its a personal pref.
But I went with the Competition cuz Im clueless
about what the heck she meant about the Clarite !
Haha...
I will list the OPI names beside the items just in case
you want to get the same ones as me but again you can
find these things in many diff brands.

your liquid or powder)

So yeah this is basically all you need as far as I know.
