Practice, practice, practice!
I purchased this and wanted to do my own acrylic nails.. Yes, I know that this is best left to the professionals but I thought maybe I could save some money since one can spend over a 1000 bucks a year in the nail salon.The Nail Genie seems to work well and I think that I just need to get used to using it. I did get a little close to my cuticles a couple of times and have a few battle scars but I think that was just due to my lack of experience. I will keep on practicing and will hopefully get better at acrylic nail application.
