  1. The perfect bead will leave the brush smoothly with minimal effort and minimal residue on your brush. A wet bead will release, but half the bead will cling to the tips of your bristles are produce a gummy mess. A dry bead, normally doesn’t want to release at all, it requires a lot of encouragement and leaves clumpy powdery bits behind. Now, acrylic sticks to acrylic so, if your brush is gummy or powdery, you’re going to have trouble with every subsequent bead after that releasing from your brush unless it is cleaned properly to start fresh.

  2. The perfect bead will absorb all the powder on the brush within 3-4 seconds after pick-up. Then, the acrylic goes through a dimply orange peel like state, before turning glossy and smooth and as soon as this gloss happens, this is the point that you place the bead on the nail. Not directly after picking it up from the container, it needs a few seconds to go through this 3 step process.
