Megan I watched youtube videoes on how to do it and I said to myself "this looks so easy!"...so I went to sallys and bought a kit and oh boy was I wrong! Its something that is not easily done and requires a lot of practice! And it sucked becuz I really messed up my thumb and pointer finger and I wanted to remove them but didnt have any acetone, so I had to rip the acrylic off! If youre really gung-ho on doing it then I would recommend getting one of those plastic practice hands until you get used to working with the acrylic. Good luck! Let me know how it goes.
