Acrylic nail extension

The most popular type of nail extension. Acrylic nails can hold up to 5 months! Provided, however, their regular correction every 3 weeks. Such manicure has a number of advantages, strength and durability being the main ones.

Advantages:

  • They are almost indistinguishable from real nails; natural look
  • Nail polish stays 2-3 times longer

Gel nail extension

The main competitor of acrylic nail extension. This procedure uses a special gel, the structure and composition of which is identical to that of natural nails. The manicure lasts for 3-4 weeks, but it is more natural and safe for your nails.

Advantages:

  • Gel nails are as close as possible to natural nails
  • Unlike acryl, gel is odorless
  • Gel nails breathe, since this material lets air and moisture through
  • Gel does not damage, but protects your nails from harmful influences
  • Gel nails are strong; they rarely crack and break

Disavantages:

  • Cracked nails need to be re-extended
  • Gel nails are not as strong as acrylic

In clinic, we use two methods of nail extension: acrylic and gel. If you are not sure which one will suit you more – consult the master before the procedure.

What are the risks associated with nail extension and how to avoid them?

There are many horror stories that after gel or acrylic extension, nails get noticeably damaged, exfoliate, and even fall off… Unfortunately, there is truth in some of these stories. Let us consider the basic fears and risks:

Nail plate gets heavily injured due to nail extension

Yes, indeed, upon careless approach to the procedure, it can damage the nails. In this case, master’s qualification plays a crucial role. As well as the quality of products: acryl or gel. They must be safe, of good quality, and have the appropriate certificates proving they do not contain harmful components…

That is why it is dangerous to get acrylic or gel nail extension in the first salon, especially with a suspiciously low prices and discounts… Choose only trustworthy beauty salons and clinics, and you will reduce the risk to zero!

Extended nails look vulgar and unnatural

That happens a lot. Nails are of strange concave shape, and look as if they exfoliate from the finger. This is a sign of cheap, low-quality manicure that has been done carelessly and unskillfully. Acrylic or gel nails done by a serious master always look natural, so that you won’t tell the difference from the real thing!

Extended nails are always the same and soon become unbearable

Now this is a myth. You can change the nail polish as many times as you want on properly extended nails. Choose natural color for your nails, or any color you like, iа you feel this way. Including applying shellac, adding rhinestones, drawing patterns and even creating three-dimensional applications and sophisticated design… The most important thing is to use acetone-free nail polish remover.
