Using Acrylic As Nail Glie Press on

How do you use acrylic as a glue? Do you just wipe a dot over the nail and stick them on?

I basically do like a very thin overlay with a bead of acrylic (monomer and acrylic powder) and the place the nail on top. While holding the nail on, I use the brush to get excess off of the nail! And once the acrylic dries, it’s done! Best hack I ever discovered 😅
