Have you ever "cheated" on your nail tech? In today's video, I’m joined by an old friend and client, Liz, a Cheater! We dive into her 4-week acrylic grow out, discuss the challenges of finding the perfect professional, and pivot from a standard fill to a beautiful, sculpted acrylic design. Watch as we troubleshoot lifting, perfect the liquid-to-powder ratio, and bring back the lost art of building the design directly into the nail!
