I learned something from the Flamenco forum that works well for me. Crazy glue Brush on ( which is the same type of cyanacrylate as medical grade I believe, but I'm not a doctor and didn't stay at a holiday inn ) and acrylic powder. Instead of using the acrylic activator, brush crazy glue on then dip the nail in powder. Repeat a few times, use a nail glue accellerator, and then file and buff. It's quick and easy compared to using the acrylic gel, and way cheaper than a nail salon. The one advantage of an actual nail salon is that something like solar nails will probably last longer before coming apart, but the crazyglue/acrylic thing is so easy it doesn't bother me.
