Are you are tired of brittle or chipped nails? Do you want to have
perfect finger tips for that special occasion? Then artificial nails
could be the answer for you.
Acrylic Nails
Acrylic is the toughest artificial nail covering. It is constructed
either on top of the natural nail or as a strengthener to nail
extensions, using a combination of powdered acrylic (polymer) and a
liquid (monomer.) The nail technician dips a brush into the liquid,
then the powder. The mixture must be worked quickly because it will dry
as soon as the polymer and monomer mix. If you are not experienced in
doing this your acrylic nails will look lumpy and exceptionally false.
Acrylics are not suited to a natural look; they require varnish.
Removal of acrylic nails is time-consuming; it requires that you
soak your nails in acetone. Attempting to pull them off can be painful
and damaging to the nail bed.
Gel Nails
The gel nail is a ready- mixed system that is painted on. Two types
are available; one requires a UV light to set it, the other does not
require light curing. Gel nails are set with an activator spray and are
far more natural looking than acrylics. They can look good without
polish, although the system is difficult to remove completely without
extensive filing.
