Nails Extension

Nail extensions involve the addition of an artificial tip to the tip of your nail to increase the length. The appendix is then strengthened by covering it in gel, acrylic, or fibreglass. On the other hand, the artificial nail may also be affixed over your natural nails; therefore, bypassing the usage of the nail tips. The former approach is called “Tips,” while the latter is called “Forms.”

At present, even though a lot of people crave to have long nails, some of us are not fortunate enough to have healthy and beautiful nails. I, for one, am prone to nail-biting out of anxiety. Other reasons for not being able to grow out your nails could be breakage at a certain length, brittle or splittable nails, or a nail-biting habit. For us, nail extensions act as the perfect shortcut to achieve our dream nails.


What are Acrylic Nail Extensions?

Acrylic nail extensions are the most common type of nail extension that almost everyone knows about! The acrylic nail is made out of a monomer liquid mixed with a polymer powder to form a paste that is glued onto your natural nail and tip. This paste hardens over time and can last a good 3 to 4 weeks.

Forget fussing with lash strips. Say no to sandwiching your lashes between magnets. Stop struggling when you can savor your regular lash refill appointments instead.

Pros:

  • Acrylic extensions are suitable for women with brittle and weak nails.
  • Acrylics are good for women, who have a habit of chewing their nails as they are very hard to chew off.
  • You don’t have to worry about side effects as such.
  • They last longer than gel nails.

Cons:

  • They can damage your natural nail underneath, if not removed properly.
  • As Acrylic nails are artificial enhancements, they present a fake look. You need a very talented technician who can apply your acrylics as close to natural ones.
  • Application of acrylic nails involves the use of strong chemicals and the formation of fumes. Some women may have an allergy to such substances.
  • You need refilling every month which means extra expenditure.
