When applying acrylic nails at home how do you get them to not look all clumpy?

Everytime I apply the acrylic powder it gets all goopy and dries on my nails and they look bad.How do I stop this?When applying acrylic nails at home how do you get them to not look all clumpy?
First get a slower drying acrylic. Then it is really important to practice your consistency.





Dip your brush in the liquid and make sure that it is completely saturated. Press the brush at the bottom of the dish. You will probably see some bubbles rise up.


Wipe the back of the brush against the dish


Dip in powder and pull brush toward you slowly.


Pull the brush out of the powder. You should have a ball of acrylic. Wait 3 seconds and apply the first ball to the tip. Wait a second for it to spread and start shaping the tip


Repeat this in 3-4 balls, the next ball being just below the acrylic you placed on the tip. The third ball should be near the cuticle


When you apply the 2nd ball, stroke the acrylic to make it smoother. You can dip your brush in the liquid again to help it to not dry so quickly


You can also practice this on a piece of paper first





Here is a link to a really great practice sheet:
