Le’ts explain exactly what acrylic nails are. A nail technician mixes a liquid (monomer) and a powder (polymer) and works to create a solid nail overlay, or enhancement that sits on top of your nail. They can be in traditional nail shapes, but they can also be in all sorts of shapes dependent on your technician’s skill and creativity. As well as benefiting from the standard elements of a manicure, the acrylic nails are applied and polished, often using nail art. Acrylic nails also come ready-made. They are what most people are thinking of when talking about false nails.
Pros of an acrylic manicure
With acrylic nails you can have fabulous nail shape, no matter the shape of your real nails. They can add length and they also provide an excellent canvas for wonderful works of art for skilled creative nail technicians.
Cons of an acrylic manicure
Acrylic nails have a tendency to pop off, through everyday use. The new nail growth around the bottom of the acrylic can also be quite noticeable after a few weeks. They can also be quite expensive. You should have gaps between applications, more than with any other type of manicure.
